You should really start by reading Grow Weed Easy end to end. Here is a page on watering.

In general, you want to properly water/drench your soil. However you need to allow it to properly drain and dry a bit. Not completely bone dry bc that is bad too. But enough to cause the roots to search out that last bit of water. Then you water again. Dont go by numbers or specific days. It is hard to explain but you will get a feel for it. Just takes practice.



You mix it according to their instructions per gallon. You water them until you get 20% runoff using the technique I mentioned above. If you aren't sure mix up 1 gallon at a time. I tend to make more than I need per batch and just toss the rest into the flower bed outside (I use organics and compost teas tho, not sure if u wanna toss GH outside) Hotter days they will drink more, so this is not an exact number.



Its my experience that fabric and airpots suck. Lots of other people like them, to each their own. There are hundreds of ppl on RIU using 5 gallon plastic pots so I doubt they are your problem. I missed in your original post what soil you were using, but like @SheeshM just said, the soil itself is most likely the issue bc it doesn't have good drainage.

Lots of options there. I would suggest BuildASoil premixed soils. They are living organic soil so you can rerun them multiple times with some basic ammendment between rounds. I just bought a bunch of their Light Soil and my plants love it. My buddy uses their Olly Mt fish LOS and he swears by it.

Thank you. I'm going to go overhaul everything now. I'm buying fox farm soil now to replace what I have. Should I get the ocean floor or the other kind?

I used the Ocean Forest for a long time. To be honest its a good place to start, but I always found it lacking. Even amending it with EWC/compost for flower, it always seemed to run out of gas too soon.

The difference between the FF products is Ocean Forest is more heavily amended with guanos and fish meals. Happy Frog is mostly peat but also has some guano and added myco and other nutrients. Which one is better is up to your growing style and what nutrients you plan to feed with.

It might make sense to switch to the Fox Farm nutrients instead since they are made to work alongside their soils. The GH nutes you are using are designed for use in hydro setups with Rockwool or another inert growing medium.
