Watering..

[mr nelson]

im currently in week 4 of flower and am feeding my plants every 2 days.. the question is they only take 1 litre each with run off and im just not quite sure if this is a problem? The run off from them also looks clearer than the feed i give them as if its sucked all nutes out and spat out dirty water.They look healthy and are developing nicely i just dont know if this is enough for them or a problem waiting to happen

They are in pure coco just incase it helps.

Thanks for all the help.

11 i think mate not too sure now , they still feel pretty heavy after 2 days but i feed anyway as i presumed the water was just a treansport for the nutes to travel around the plant.

just let them sit in the water for 20-30 mins or so, if they suck it all up give them some more, throw away the run off,

wait till the pot feels light again then feed again

Thanks leroy i will try that.. when you say wait till the pot feels light would this even apply if it takes 3 days or so to dry out? I hand water from the top and i usually let them sit for 10mins or so but i have a different plant in a smaller pot that drinks 3l every 2 days given its almost double the size of my others also the pots do seem to be a little bottom heavy although the top is dryish. Thanks for the help its aprreciated.

i water mine every 2-4 days or when ever they need it, diff plants drink diff amounts of feed/water, just wait till the pot feels light before watering again

I found my 11L pots needed watered every 2-3 days and took 4L of water with a little run off usually.

Thanks for the info ill try leaving them an extra day say how they go.

If you're in pure coco, you're growing hydroponically dude.....

I think the general practice is to water when pots feel light whil;e the plants get some roots down, then water everyday. Especially in flower.

Check this thread mate... Loads of good info in there... A lot about watering frequency too...
