Wait I water more than just a quart of water I just do it a quart at a time just to not throw it all in at once idk if I made it confusing lol
Ok. When you read these you will see that you should be soaking the soil everytime you water.
If you have a 3 gallon pot, start with 1/2 gallon of water and go up from there to fully soak it.
5 Gallon, 1 full gallon of water.
7 gal, 2 gals h2O
10 gal pot, 5 gals water......
We water a bit differently. We have a large pot the plant pot fits in. We put the plant in and fill the outside pot, the plant pot absorbs as much as it can and them we let it drain before it goes back to the tent floor. During the soak, we also use a long thin probe to make sure there is no hydrophobia setting in.
Doing it this way, the top STAYS dry. No fungus gnats.
The only time we do it differently is when we add an amendment/feed or MBE.
