All depends on pot size and ratio of perlite. This was my first coco grow in 1 gal pots start to finish. At peak was 14x a day but that was pretty much only 2 weeks. Its not only how often but how much.

There is no real have to but it does yield better results if you can.

yeah, I should have used pots less than 10"... :( I watered 36 hours ago and still heavy... BUT, after watering a good amount, they are way more perky than before... I will try and rewater only one to see how it behaves before proceeding with the others.

Yup I have hydro halos set up on each plant to top feed. This was when I set up the irrigation in week 2:

Here we are today in week 4. The front plants (GSC) are way behind the back plants (Pineapple Upside Down Cake). I was hoping I could flip to flower already but I'm gonna give the GSC another week to catch up.

So the weigh thing doesn’t work for me for some reason and I don’t know what to do when watering. I got shit pots to begin with I feel like the drainage is horrible bought at the local grow store. I water once a day but I drench the coco till I get 30% run off and it seems to stay moist for a whole day I’m in “late” flower I believe Lmao they are autos one was definitely stunted 😔 she smells good but small. I’m in 2 gal pots 70/30 bio 365 brand coco using advance nutrients sensi bloom any ideas on what I should be doing when watering? Also I have ten EC pens no I have four one aspera and three Amazon 15$ special and man they all say different shit lol it drives me nuts!!!! Any good ideas on that? I know the thread is old but I’ve been reading for days everywhere and I’ve seen some ideas but none that would help me. Trust me I’ve been doing my due diligence but seem to be stuck at the end of the tunnel and for some reason the lights aren’t on yet lol!!!!

an automated system with a 50 euros pump and some pc drippers is a must

water twice a day only work with a well rooted plant, in a relatively small pot
if you grow a 3 weeks old plant in veg in a 3 gal pot of coco, of course you wont water everyday

keeping the coco moister push the plant toward vegetative growth, which is not adequate to grow flowers.
in flower you need to let some dryback (the top layer of the coco change color, becomes sand color) to let the ec increase in the medium and stimulate production of flower

you will also keep the gnats at bay, because larvaes live in the top layers of the medium.

to sum up there is no rule to how often water
after transplanting they can spen 4 days without watering, and in full flower in a small pot you will be able to multifeed
