Why does grow med. stay moist so long??

Hey guys just a quick question.. I have 6 ladies in 5 gal. pots with 1x1000 watts and every time I water it takes about 3 or 4 days til my gm is dry enough to water again. Why is that? Also my buddy has same strain and uses same nutes and he waters every other day BUT hes got 4x1000 watts. Both rooms have pretty much same temp. & hum. so please enlighten me guys.

Pretty sure this shouldn't be in the UC forums.

Also, you are asking why your buddy with 4x the lights has to water 4x more often then you?

Use less water when watering so you have to water every other day. Try .5 gallon per plant.

there are probably a few variables not disclosed that are the reason for this....

first of all his plants are using water faster because they are absorbing more light. C02 increases water usage as well. also the root masses could be different. and maybe watering different amounts

3 to 4 days a watering sounds better than every other day imo anyway

hope that helps
