I’d say an average of every 2 days or as neededHow often do you water?
Absolutely not.A good tip is to water in a circle in the beginning when the plants are small. All they need is one ring of water hug the outside of the pot and dont let the stream even touch the center.
i don’t disagree with @Backyard_Boogie as i kinda do the same watering, a bit different from his but i don’t give people that advice as you really need to know what your doing. soaking it all than letting it dry out before watering again is the proper technique.Absolutely not.
Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it
Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...www.thcfarmer.com
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...www.thcfarmer.com
Thank you! This helped to much.Yes on that one it was probably overwatering. Keep in mind in the beginning they need much less water almost always when there is overwatering issues they usually get started right in the beginning when the plant is just taking off. Of course once the damage is done it becomes a struggle cuz your constantly trying to fix it but the plant is already sick and stunted and once you go past a certain point its almost not even worth it. This happens because in the beginning there is much less roots in the pot to suck up the water that you keep adding. So basically the pot stays wet all the time especially deeper down below the soils surface. Now once you have grown a big beautiful healthy stud plant then the root ball is so big and powerful that it sucks up the water quickly so the water isn't allowed to stagnate at that point. Its the stagnation and lack of oxygen that rots the roots and kills the plant. A good tip is to water in a circle in the beginning when the plants are small. All they need is one ring of water hug the outside of the pot and dont let the stream even touch the center. Just the wicking will moisten the soil enough. As the plant gets bigger and the roots more developed you can water a little bit more and more and start bringing your watering spiral towards the center more. Once they are full size and sucking it up like crazy you can just flood the pot it doesnt matter as much cuz the plant is in full guzzle mode and can suck up water at the same pace you add it to the pot. I do see you are using fabric which is great continue to do that but in the future at the first sign of overwatering you want to back off on the watering. Then lift that fabric pot a bit off the ground rest it on a metal cookie sheet or put a few blocks under there with a gap in the middle. By getting some airflow on the underside of the fabric pot it will help dry out the bottom much faster which is where the rot very often is worse. Good luck!
Does this plant even have any chance of making it to harvest?i don’t disagree with @Backyard_Boogie as i kinda do the same watering, a bit different from his but i don’t give people that advice as you really need to know what your doing. soaking it all than letting it dry out before watering again is the proper technique.
Is there anything I can do at this point to get it her to harvest?Yes on that one it was probably overwatering.
