I have a basic watering question.

[BDH420]

When do you like to water your plants? Do you keep the time consistent. Say you water at 5 am on Sunday. Would you then water at 5 am the next time they are thirsty? I have only had to water them twice since transplanting. The seem to go 7 days before they show signs of needing anything. Does cannabis like structure?

I always try and water right as lights come on.

I water my soil grows when the pot is light. Could be 10 days while a seedling and every other day when larger. No structure other than what boomgagem does, at lights on.

Thank you both for the quick responses. Perfect. Since I'm doing my first outdoor run in many many years since the 90s. I'm full of basic questions.

You might want to get some pest control since it's outside and spray preemptively. Just a suggestion. My plants were deluged with caterpillars, thrips and aphids outside.

What genetics are you gonna grow?

We only water when they ask for it.

Watering for Soil Growers Only

Watering in Soil Watering plants gives many new growers anxiety issues. Because we want our plants to do the best they can, we over water and some even underwater. To help relieve the stress and confusion, this is sort of a step by step of what to do and look for when you grow in soil...

I'm growing 2 pounder crossed with Durban Poison called Texas Time Warp. I won them online. Its supposed to be a 70 30 Sativa Indica mix. Even though I dislike the terms. I prefer narrow leaf drug cultivar. They are looking more wide leaf then narrow leaf, They are not growing how I would expect this cultivar to grow. It must be just made by some guy as I cant seem to find much info on it. Here is a pic from this morning. Its raining today which is good I was going to water today as they looked like they needed it.

They look great. Good luck on the grow!!

I notice a couple of strips under them. I'm guessing you did a good swiss cheese job on the bottoms of the buckets?

I only water when I can pick my five gallon put up easily with one hand. Then water till I can’t. Lol
