He could write for max yield. I guess I’m trying to find out weather light frequent waterings vs less frequent drenching are preferable. In the past I’ve had to really drench promix to avoid salt build ups.
how did you know my middle name is "max yield" LOL just kidding fellas.He could write for max yield. I guess I’m trying to find out weather light frequent waterings vs less frequent drenching are preferable. In the past I’ve had to really drench promix to avoid salt build ups.
I didn't write that. Just sharing some one elses work. I don't have a link for the source it wasHe could write for max yield.

yes sir each strain and or pheno will have different nute requirements and moisture levels. What may be too much water for one may not be enough for another.Oh yeah. And no there isn't no magic number that you can start with and finish with. You have to adjust as the plant grows and each plant is different

This is one reason I profess that to be master grower level, one needs to fight the urge to pop flavors of the month and muckle on to a few favorite strains and get to know thy ladies inside and out. This with taking notes is the only good way to run multiple strains and limit your headaches with a varied strain run. Then you can run a group of genetics that you know have the same requirements and how finicky each strain is. Just sayn.
from a genetics standpoint, a plant will slowly alter its genetic makeup over time based on the environment it is bred in. This may take many generations to happen. So a landrace equatorial thai sativa that thrived in very moist hot conditions over time depending on where that genotype was continually bred will slowly adapt to its new environmental conditions. Now how long that takes is a mystery to me. That would be a question for a geneticist that works in botany. In closing even tho you may have say afghani based genetics, how long has the strain been worked away from its landrace origin. So if it was once used to hot dry more arid conditions after many generations of being bred either indoors or in much different environmental conditions its needs and what makes it thrive will be different. I hope that made sense.With what you said , how does one know if a plant likes or dislikes a certain humidity or heat. I would tend to think a northern strain can handle more water, and colder temps where a southern strain likes a drier soil and more humid climates. Does a strains lineage hint twards where it the location it originated from ? With ice cream , cake, dosi ? It's not like jamician red or afghani kush . Those names would indicate the region it originated from.

indeed.Have you ever noticed in your own rooms certain conditions may bring out different tendencies in plants as well?I’ve grown plants advertised as 100% Indica End up with more of a hybrid look and results to them. even growing 80% sativa’s directly beside 80% Indicas i have noticed they kind of end up quite similar although you can tell the difference It’s not as dramatic as I was expecting
What benifits do u see with this method vs just waiting until your desired WC. Then watering until runoff? Also, where did you come up with 100ml seems calculatedI hope this helps: Our drip system basically goes:
In Veg we like to get to roughly 70% wc and dry back to 50% (Start watering 1-2 hours after lights turn on & last feed 2-3 hours before lights turn off)
In Flower we get to about 60% wc and dry back to 35-40% (Start 1-2 hours after lights turn on & last feed 3-4 hours before lights turn off)
- approx. 100 - 105ml shots but depends on the number and length of feeds you prefer.
The chart below shows how the block water content should look. I always check mid day for a small run off.
