Well I water every 4 days, My plants seem so happy and look sooo perfect right after I water them and the next following day, then they look bleh for the next two or so days.

If there wasnt a problem of over watering them, I would water them daily, because they perk right up and look great when I do.

Does everyone else experience this...


Oh just for w/e im listenting to a sick song I think some people would be into, check it out!

Your plant is probably wilting a little in between waterings. Over watering is a problem but not if your not constantly keeping the soil saturated. Remember as they grow they will need more water so you'll have to change it up a little. For me my plants were always watered once every 2 days

I only water once every week or 10 days.
You guys need to let the soil completely dry in between waterings.
How often you water depends on the plant size and the pot size, my plants never droop after watering them. It sounds like you are over watering them though.

I also water once a week. The ladies start to go limp just a tad on the 7th day, but then they get their water.
I have them in FF soil, 5 gallon smart pots.

Soil is supposed to hold water. You do have holes in the cups right?
The moisture meter does not do any good, get rid of it. Water when the pot feels light.

My flowering plants are in three gallon pots and I only need to water them every week to 10 days. When my seedlings are in solo cups I water about every five days or whenever the soil dries.

Your plants look fairly healthy, just water less.

What nutrients do you use.
