so back to your original post. now that we know your supposed to feed regularly, how could you tell the plant wasn't uptaking water was that based on how fast the coco dried?
Week 8 of a 12 week cycle plant not drinking
- Thread starter xmplr
- Start date
these are actually cloned
yeah, usually i would water 2L everyday and the next day it would be almost dry. So basically once every 24 hours. Now it takes longer to dry 2 days.

ok is it a reputable source? without breeder packs and honest breeder timelines the time the flower period takes is very much up to speculation, its based primarily on plant health, to sell more seeds breeders use the shortest possible week timeline usually the buds are not even close to done or clear trics and headache . but they don't have a standard to live up to except public ridicule.
what does that one do?
it is a reputable source.

that's fine don't let it dry. when it dries the EC will skyrocket and have you chasing your tail. that's why I said disregard the dry period. coco isn't soil and shouldn't be treated as soil. it feels backwards and is probably and advanced gardening method. I am surprised at the amount of beginners that start in coco

it allows you to view your trics up close to determine when to give the plant the axe
So even tho it’s not drinking it, i should just keep watering it, wont that overfeed it and kill it?

lower your feed ec but always keep the coco wet , wet coco = more oxygen

Run-off water plays an important role in maintaining healthy conditions in the root zone. Therefore, you need to always get run-off no matter how much water you must add in order to accomplish that.
Under high-frequency fertigation, the quantity needed to produce run-off should be small. As I explain in “Growing Cannabis in Coco with High Frequency Fertigation”, it is ideal to keep the coco between 90 and 100% saturated

But 1.8 is still massively strong .
I'm running purple punch and shishkaberry and 1.4 is breaking point for the shishkaberry and 1.2 for the purple punch .

in the end my advice is always stay lower and fertigate more often.

low ppm multiple times, always to run off of 20% input. it's better to do multifeeds on an automatic system unless you are super diligent . 1 or 2x daily is plenty
