How long would you go without watering? I have one auto and two feminized. Not in the place to have a hydro or automated watering system. My plants are 4-6 weeks old. I’m going out of town for a week, can I “overwater” before I leave and they’ll be ok?

Might buy some time but no direct experience with those :man_shrugging:t3:

Plastic. They retain a lot more than cloth. I usually soak and forget. 1 week wont hurt. Wont need water for 5 days at least. Droughts outside can last longer.

Just wanna chime in that i agree with @MidwestGuy that a week unsupervised is a long time IF they go dry. However, im using big ol plastic pots too, and its taking me maybe 5 days from a good run off to water them again. If you have a decent amount of perlite in there, and more importantly if you k…

Yes I have a small fan set up to push air across the top of them even if they grow a few inches a this week.

If you have an exhaust fan on the go then aim your fan a little more down, but not directly at the soil. The air will circulate its way upwards anyways, assuming you’re in a tent.

@Gl1tch @MidwestGuy @Autos-only @DEEPDIVERDAVE @Storm @Dinky @Low A week on vacation did them some good. As I said slight over water with nutes. Water bulbs, plastic pots and air on. Light was 18/6. I came home to plants that gained 8-10 inches in height. Replished water and nutes today. Before a…

Yes you can. I do it on a continual basis.

Genetics, grow medium or soil, PH/PPM, and lights. All play factors, as does temp. Vegetating at 65/55 is nothing like growing in 80/70. [GROW PAR CHART] Any incidence of trouble, distorts the time trajectory of growing. and possibly retard future growth. Maybe it is our problem or reason fo…

A little training will go a long way. With cannabis the highest node wins. If you can train them all on the same plane then they all win. Also looks like you could use more light. That would reduce the distance between nodes.

Lights - style and good practices
