The plants are looking good but the soil quality don't look great, trying to work out why the plants need water every 2-3 days
Im watering every 2-3 days because im only using minimum water. As in no run off.
ok, never heard of anyone watering like that before
Huh lol. Also I'll be watching this one! Certainly not the conventional method. As for the 12/12 from seed thing. I've done a couple of grows and it was really not great, a 20-25 day veg yielded twice as much. As stated strain may have a lot to do with the 12/12 method.
How can you tell that they are getting "all the water they need" if you don't know the saturation level of the sub-surface soil ?
I use a meter to read the moisture level in the soil. The probe reaches the bottom of the container, and is pretty accurate.
Very useful information. And you are correct, when waterng, i only use a half gallon to a gallon per container. I always get little run off, but because i water so often, the soul stays mostly moist, and therr is substantial pearlite and vermiculite in the soil, also a layer of coco in the middle, creating a decent amount of space for oxygen to make its way to the roots. I will try what you said about leaning them off of nuites, but keep in mind, they had only water for the first 2weeks of there life. Hopefully there is substantial root mass.ok, never heard of anyone watering like that before
I use a lot of water so all the soil gets a really good soak, then let it dry out as the top part of the soil drys, day by day the plants roots have no choice but to grow down quick to get water
also don't give the plant any food for a few weeks in a pot that size, so the roots have to grow and spread out looking for food.
what you are doing is making it easy for the plants so the roots don't need to grow as quick and if your feeding then the roots they will grow even slower
you want short plants with a large root mass as quick as possible (as you on a 12/12 from seed) and then you buds will get more food in late flower so they will grow a lot bigger
larger root mass gives you a larger yield
Just asking.
Well thats why ist an experimental grow.
I hope its accurate, but sometimes there not all that correct. I usually check by using the old side check. (If the soil is not touching the sides of the pot near the top) then iknow its alittle dry. Also use the lift test awsell. As a back up. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Yeh there looking good
Very cool. How have your experiences been? Any tips or tricks to this style of growing?
Thanks for the love. Im starting to see sme sexing on the older plants, but i wony know sex for another few days. Ill post a pic of them from today. Ive seen explosive growth in almost all plants.
Very nice! What was your mix for feeding? Ive been wating to foliar feed them. Just wasnt sure the propper ppm.
