Does anyone else only water upon seeing drooping leaves?

[xtsho]

Over or underwatered?

 

[MICHI-CAN]

What is drooping but a preamble to wilting? (if the cause is underwatering)

A multitude of things of I cannot teach you.

 

[jfarrismu]

Drooping leaves look filled and heavy with water and wilting is wilting idk how to describe it but you can Forsure tell a difference

I guess what I'm trying to say is that leaves will droop (as in start to lower their altitude) before they will full on wilt. I'm wondering if waiting until they start to droop a bit (not full on wilt) would be better (for a novice grower) than to risk overwatering

I bet you can't teach me how to not be an asshole either

So you're saying there is a difference between wilting and drooping but you can't describe it?

Experience will describe it.

Looks over watered imo. Leaflets look like they still have turgor.

I did get a little wet. We had a few showers the other day. Just the weight of the water on the leaves. Lanky sativa.

If you're growing in s living soil, water 5% water to soil volume. If you're using bottled nutes, water to 20% runoff. It's easy once you get it down. You'll get it. Watch your plants as much as possible to learn what they are telling you. Keep a journal with notes so you can reference them whenever you have a problem.

Adding more aeration helps too. If you have enough it's hard to overwater.

Yes I would say it would be better to have your plant a bit underwatered instead of overwatered if you had to choose. Plus one can be easily fixed and one can’t. Wait for some slight droop but not much at all and then water. Also pick up or weigh your pots. Also measure how much water you give unless you have a shit load of plants.

I find that feeling the weight by picking each one up to move tells me all I need to know about when to water next. Of course I move 6 plants twice a day on an outdoor light deprivation schedule. So it basically becomes muscle memory on how dry each planter is. But that's just me

Indoors i go by weight, outside in big pots i cant lift I physically check the soil and watch the plants. Imo you can see a plant getting thirsty long before its to a detrimental state

You should come over and try that on my 15 gal pots or living soil that has lava rock and pumice for aeration, lol. Lava rock is heavy as fuck.

If you could lift a 300gal bag would be pretty dope though

I only have 6 five gallon here's to move so no sweat.
If I was in your situation, then there would be some 4 wheeled 55 gallon drum roller carts for them bitches
