You need to water every three days...let it dry out some between waterings.....go to walmart and get a bottle of gardensafe fungicide#3 it will get rid of the gnats and several types of fungus......mist your plants under leaves too and mist the soil....this should solve your problems........hope this helps...keep us posted..

Starving youre plants for water will help them grow larger root structures,Its recommended by the top growers.The bigger the roots the bigger the fruits:bigjoint:

or every three days...




You guys just throw out info without properly obtaining INFO 1st. You can't tell him how often to water... What size pot? how big it plant? Is his room hot? high humidity?

Let the soil dry out, Not desert dry, but dry to the first knuckle. This will Make a much stronger plant and help get rid of the gnats.

??????????????Detrimental...I usually do it at least once a month.This doesnt hurt youre plant.The roots will roam to look for moisture,so when you do feed and water it has a bigger pipeline to pump the nutes with.Stalks double in size and buds are larger:bigjoint:

No I did not, I never put a Time on it, that is how noob's Overwater! never set a time, It will always be different from your grow! think about it................Water when it's dry, not when someone, whom has never seen your grow in person tells you to.....

Three days is the norm in a typical grow room you don't need his social security # to give out general info...........besides I got on here to help someone not argue with someone trying to start trouble.......

norm, what's normal? 1 gal pot, 2 gal, 5 gal? So I suppose a 5 gal pot with a 10" plant needs water every 3 days? LoL This kind of Info is why I haven't been on here for a while and will be leaving again.

Zlangrt, good luck, use your brain, don't take everything you read here as LAW!
