watering

hi! i'm a noob and sprouted a seed i found in my weed. i left boston for the holidays, so i quickly set up my plant to be [hopefully] self sufficient while i'm on vacation... _ LED strips for additional light, since the length of natural daylight is shorter during winter _ automated watering _...

Im going to start an autoflower and want to know how much calmag should i add to a gallon of water that will be used to water my plant? The plants will be in 3 gal pots. Im also a bit confused on how much water i should give my plant when watering. Should i use an entire gallon or should i use...

I've heard about burning the plant when giving nutrients directly on the leaves, and to try to water the medium below. I have northern lights here in a somewhat confined space, so they've been topped and are being trained to stay low (as best as I can in my first grow). My question is should I...

Hi there I got an early skunk and an incredible bulk at about 3-4 weeks flower... I've been watering the Es every day regardless if it's dry or not as the weather has been 22'c - 27 in the south of England where I live, well up until now... Temperatures dropped to 17'c-20'c day and 14-13 at...

Hi all! This is my first ever grow, and I think I'm guilty of overwatering my young seedlings a bit. They sprouted last Saturday / Sunday, so they're only about a week old. I started them in these little jiffy peat pot things I found at a local store, and they seem to pull a LOT of moisture out...

I want to do a flush because I think there is some kind of lockout as my plant has seemed to stop growing and is getting lighter green at the top. Anyhow... to the question.. I want to flush this baby out with a lot of water. what I need to know is should I flush with tons of water and then...

As a new rookie grower I'm concerned I'm spending too much time fiddling with things. I am currently in seedling/veg state (8 plants in solo cups with 4 sets of baby leaves on each plant ) . For now I've been checking my grow daily about 3-5 times every day (several times in afternoon and once...

Hi everyone, my first post here. So I want to start my second grow,first grow was okay, grew 3 super skunks and got about 40-50 grams dry. So now I'm ready to start my second grow,and I want this grow to be much better,because in the previous grow, I used some random soil that had ants in it...

this maybe a noobish question but i was wondering if i should water using 7 ph .... I have been giving a steady dose of 6ph'd water but i read that is not good to give ONLY 6.... And that we should water in the range of acceptable ph values 6-7 I have wateres my clones with ph of 7 today...

I've got a small tent (60x60x170) that I'm currently growing a 4 plant clone scrog in square 30cm 18L pots. I hand water these and they are growing in Coca - no room for any other hydroponics solution really as this all confined in a cupboard. I'm going to try a small SOG grow shortly with...

Im on my second grow. using LED. Still trying to figure out the whole nutrient situation. Do I feed only once a week? People always say feed every other watering... I don't know what that means?!? how often should I use cal-mag, little during Veg, increase during Flower?

Hi, i seem to never get the watering time right... over water, under water and all of the above :C how often should i water my plants? I looked around ALOT picking up and feeling the weight, well im having a really hard time and the finger test well its like i can't feel if its moist or not...

I digress today as I read all of the struggles we have as growers. Lighting, nutes, Ph, temps, etc. etc. But when I was a freshman in college MANY MANY moons ago, I planted a seed of some dirt weed. I placed it in some soil I got from a local store (don't even know if it was miracle grow but it...

Step 1: Fill a jug with water. Step 2: Dump it on plant. Step 3: Repeat 1 and 2 as needed... I get it okay. But the point is how much do I need to water as well as feed? Also I am using this schedule from http://www.growweedeasy.com/general-hydroponics-flora-trio-guide . So if I theoretically...

This plant as of today is now 2 weeks old. I have yet to feed it any nutrients yet. Lately it has been dropping with the leaves. It only droops when the light turns off as it is still in its vegetative state. Once the light comes back on, within an hour or so the leaves are right back up looking...

What would be a good way to make sure my soil doesn't dry out too much, during the hot summers, if I have to be away for more than three days at a time? This is the main problem with where I chose to grow, I can only check on my plants once every three days. Is it even possible to grow outdoors...

I have a 250 gallon fresh water aquarium with six large fish in it. I've been watering with it for a long time now with great results, I truly believe that this technique is better than r/o water or any other method . Let me know how you feel about this type of watering in this forum.

Here's the deal. I'm growing right from my 5 gallon bucket to avoid any transplanting. I saturated the soil like you're supposed to. That was on 12-16. On 12-18 my girl has sprouted. On 12-19 I noticed the soil was getting dry so I did the finger test. It felt close to being dried out so I...

So I'm a newbie...been growing indoors with soil and pots. On my 3rd grow....finally I'll be getting a respectable harvest. My first 2 grows were good learning experiences...I've dealt with bugs, hermies, light burn, nute burn, you name it. On to my question: should I water to 15-20% runoff...

Hey again Like I said, I'm new haha. Over about the last week I've noticed the original feeder leaves on all of my plants started to get yellow. Being day 21 feom seed now, I didn't think much of it. But, last night I noticed that the original set of serrated leaves were starting to yellow...
