Am I still overwatering?

Waxwingz · Apr 15, 2020

Hey guys,

coming along on my first indoor grow. All seems to be going well but my girls are still a little droopy. I know I had over watered them not to long ago, and also transplanted them,but still curious if I’m doing something wrong here. Any watering advice or any suggestions on plant health would be appreciated. Thanks all

I'm not a led fan. I have used them and know the plant grown under them use less water than those grown under HPS. Just make sure they dry out between waterings.

Right, I had waited until the top soil was dry and then she went droopy right after. I think I’m shocking the roots, guess I need to water slower and less often. The soil deeper must be retaining enough water for longer than I thought.

Don't let it dry to the point of wilting. I use a soda bottle with 10 little holes in the lid to water evenly. Plants that size in one gallon pots get watered to runoff every 3 days under MH and HPS. Different soils may need watered more or less often than mine.

Because I water by weight, adding when pot is within 1 pound of pot dry weight (11 lbs.) and keeping 1 lb. under saturation weight (19 lbs.) I use a 16 oz. squeeze bottle. I know it seems anal, but it works for me.

You need a wetting agent otherwise you'll have a wet column down the center and dry on the outsides. Big problem with new growers, then you look at the brofessional soil mixes they use, no yucca.
