Also could some one explain to me why so many of you guys start your plants in such huge pots, that right there is gonna give a noob problems trying to get the moisture right, lol.
you want to be able to pick up your pot, no matter the size, and feel the weight of the moisture content. With a two inch plant in a 1to2 gallon pot your going to be waiting for the environment to dry out the soil not the plant, lol.
experienced guys know to water just around the plant, not the whole damn thing. What you see above ground is what you will have for roots. So as the plant grows in your giant pot, you water where the rain would shed off a plant outside, if ya get my drift. So as it gets bigger ya water further out, until your watering the whole pot.
when to nute? When the plant tells you it needs food, fading of lower fans and she’s hungry. The plants in veg above in those big pots, you wouldn’t have to nute till the branching is reaching the edge of the pot imo. Just let um grow and fill the pot. Nothing but phed water for sometime yet.
I start seed in solos, upcan when the roots start to spin out in the bottom, then I go to a quart size for topping and training, once again, roots start to spin out I go to a #7 pot for flowering. Pot size depends on the size of plant you plan to grow.
so I can go in the op, just pick up the solo or pot and feel if it needs watered. which I understand is a experience thing as well.
not all plants eat the same, or use water the same. You can take two clones of the same cultivar, grow um the same and one does better. Why is that, one cut had a easier time rooting? was a better nip when taken? obviously it had a better life.
overall growing MJ is fairly easy, dont Make it a science project, try not to over care for your plants, just let um grow.
