The best way to water outdoors... as the sun rises the plants sucks up nutrient and moisture from the soils/mediums, at night time the plant release moisture. Infact plants are heavier in the day time due to this. Watering in The morning is important, also to water in the afternoon amd the evening depending on temps & only when it's dry. Your plants should be soaking up all moisture by the next watering. Thats my option on the watering. (Outdoor, in ground)
Important note: Plants being heavier during the daytime (lights on) doesn't mean that you should harvest then. Plants are heavier due to water weight and water weight is not what you want when drying. You want to cut them before lights on when they're their lightest, even though it seems counterintuitive. This gives you the best dry time and least risk of mold.
I am going to set up a drip line to my plants from now on. I got a bunch of 1/4 medical tubing from an retired nurse. I water all my plants by hand. Durning mid bloom every other day I water. Maybe I need to set up sip buckets and try them. Just trying to make it easier for me. Grow dots and Recharge has made it easier. My wife just told me I can redo my grow room. Putting all my electric for the grow room on two different breakers. I don’t think she realizes how much I am going to do lol lol lol. I am going to kick this cancer ass so I can get busy!!!! 😁
Love the discussion on watering. Question i have is, plants develop roots to search out water and nutrients, i was told to always water from the bottom of a pot, that way it makes roots extend downward, increasing root volumes and they suck up what they need. This also stops the top of the soil from getting too wet, reducing the chance of mold, plant gnats, do you have any experience with bottom watering only?, whats your take on that please. Much love. Thanks for great videos.
In previous grows I used the AC Infinity self-watering base for my autos. I used double the wick lines for a couple of weeks. You still need to top water during the first couple weeks of veg. The plant's roots hadn't grown down to the water yet. After a few weeks, I changed the pots out and used the regular amount of wick lines. By then the soil stays moist. Even the topsoil stayed moist for a long time. The plants just grew. During flowering the plants could deplete 1/2 of the water in the base. No need to top water during flower which is great. Only top feeding. Plants seemed to have loved it.
Here's a tip for deep moisture watering in ground or in big pots. Get a 2 litre or half gallon juice bottle's then add a one meter or so length of pipe glue it on. Don't forget to put a small hole or two in each corner. Now you can bury them as deep as you want, but i have found that if you just bury the bottle to it's depth. Now you have three litres of water at the perfect depth to keep the subsoil moist which is key for getting roots to grow down for the moisture. Also once a week is good. Then you only really need to top water to wet top dressings if needed. Green love from Australia 💚🌲🌏🙏
I use a wifi power strip and have my pump on that. I can do it either on a schedule or manually from anywhere. With a wifi security camera to view it all too! Works great for being out of town for a few days or so!
I started watching you guys 2 months ago and (my LSD autos is coming along well) the information has been so good my 1st grow is doing very well! I'm so dial in when feeling the weight of pot for moisture levels. Thanks guy's. Love from Australia. Big shout out for Banner ❤
I put 2 of the single blumat carrots in a 3 gallon & the y crushed! Moisture is key. Using the blumats really helped me see how much water is used daily.
My 12 girls are in old supersoil with growdots now and recharge. 100 gallon black fiber pots with alfalfa cover crop and cedar mulch up on wooden pallets wrapped in cattle cages out in field in N michigan. whew!!
thank you DGC I moved back in fall it's been so much work I haven't listened to you in a while but just started listened again You've guys got my morale back up
Ollas, you can do them with unglazed clay pots, they leech water out of them. For my pothos I poke holes in the bottom of water bottles, loosen the cap for a quicker flow if needed and stand them in the pots.
Great show. I water everyday to run off in cooco and perlite. Get 4oz for 1x auto with ts1000. Years ago watering every 3rd day ill get 2oz an auto, same tent, lights, nutes. Growing a photoperiod next. Witches Wedding ✌️❤️
I think when you're crop steering, you don't water to runoff right away. The runoff comes a couple of hours before the light shuts off. Figure out the field capacity (or the maximum saturation) (it should be between 10-20% of your pot size) then you divide that number by the number of fertigation events throughout the day. I think one of the reasons to use it is so that when they get watered there's enough of the rootzone that will always have enough oxygen and they won't have to wait for a dry back to start absorbing the nutrients more efficiently.
I love this show but what first brought me here was the mixture of laughter and top notch grow advice backed by science. Dude and Scotty provided the personality, Guru provided the real knowledge and was the fact checker. I feel that’s the missing link to this show. Of course I only speak for myself. Don’t get me wrong, you guys are knowledgeable, but it’s not the same. Let’s be honest people like Guru and Jaren from New Mill are just on a different level. Love you guys and love the show I hope we can get a regular guest in here who fills that gap. Doesn’t have to be the same person but I think having someone who can take lead of the grown talk is so valuable.
Depends on how well established the plant is. If it's in full veg in a bigger container you don't have to water nearly as often. They prefer a hard soak. Rather then seedlings, and young plants need smaller amounts more frequent.
Blumat for the win ! I use them when on vacation. Two liter bottles last me a week using three gallon containers. The siphons feed one gallon pots for that same week. One liter bottles fill in the mids. No moving parts !
stick a shipping scale under your pot and weigh your plant the day after you saturate your medium, then you'll have your base weight.. Keep it under your pot. Perfect tool for dry back or just for keeping your watering spot on. You can get a pet or shipping scale on a....n for 50 - 100 bucks
36:52 Grambo getting deep with the alien hitchhiking method of Panspermia. Man that dude is a trip. All y'all are on point... lol, perhaps not High C, but he'll get there 😅
I have 100mg cans of grape & strawberry/lemonade drink it wasn't bad but like Grambo says if you eat before you drink them it hits hard. Empty stomach you may get high 6 hours later.
It grows great in water. The foot of the plant just has to be dry 8” or so. You can make a 3’ tall pot and grow in 18” of water no problem. Just amend the soil to the ph of the creek or swamp pond lol. The problem is bud rot at the finish.
Hey guys lots of people are showing plants and full grows on the tube these days... please don't use it as an excuse for a paywall.. the real ones will pay regardless
What do you think of ....to determine when to water and how often water then wait till she shows wilting in need of water and measure the time. Just water accordingly before she fades
21:41 25-50?? I know I’m late to the party here, it let’s remember that liquids absorb WAY more efficiently than solids. That’s why eating table salt is not nearly as impactful on your body as drinking a salty broth. 100mg edible gives me a good buzz, 8mg drinks do the exact same and quicker. Not to mention, how often to you hang out with your buds for a full day and have a single drink? 8mg is standard in MI for drinks and, tbh, it makes sense. After 3 I’m absolutely BAKED. 23:02 well 💩. I was late and early 😂 Dude knows what’s up
In my experience I use to be heavy handed on watering it never worked out well. Now I always make a point to water less and just water more often just watch your plants they will tell you what they need.
We have some beer flavours! The Mollos! In Canada the 10mg is sometimes frustrating because it feels like you’re just eating a regular gummy from the corner store, it’s nice for a social setting yes, but on nights alone when you wanna really let loose.. you’re gunna get a sugar hangover 😕
Great upload. I'm using small pots at the moment, 7 litres,i water to run off every 2 days, one plant takes 0.5 litre more than the other two. I was thinking about bottom watering next time. Should i be careful as i use mineral nutrients? Next project will be in a 15 litre pot.
How do you get on the app? Just download it and it asks for username and password. Then says not found. Is there somewhere that you sign up externally?
i water more i dont like the water sitting in the pot to long have had plants doing very well then water heavy cause i was out for a few days and they did not like it so i try to stay at a 500ml a couple times a day of needed if the top is dry i dont always water cause the bottom has lotsa moisture down there for them to take from remember we wanna water the roots not the top of the pot
I have a feeling, I just put 14" drip pans and leca balls under my two plants. I will slighty wet the top with nutes mixed with mosquito bits as i have living mulch going on and bottom feed the rest as they are drinking more.
I just give the plants what they want in veg, but in flower I do about 5-10% of the container size once every three days. Any more than that and I start to see guttation.
Always a great show guys truly appreciate what u guys bring to us everyday with the show so much entertainment and fun it's always one of the best parts of my day!
So I have the lil carrot watering things that you screw the bottle on to I’m trying them for the first time and so far I like them my last grow I kept forgetting to water and. Getting dry backs but the way I have been using them because I’m not sure is I fill them a 1/4 the way with just ph water but iv been emptying them a day before I wanna feed because im not sure if u can put nutrients in the do you guys think ?
Nice show, been digging deep into cannabis info and been watching you guys a lot. Honestly like the podcast but your titles can be a little click baity. Said with love bro, that's the only part that erks me
Tell dude he almost pronounced my last name right 😅 👍 it's more like have than fave. I think half my teachers in school fucked it up and on another note I got on the app a couple of days ago.wish I could make it the 1200 miles up to Colorado for the dude cup but it's not to be this yr maybe next yr .
Whos popping what soon? I have 2 fastbuds FF, one Tropicana cookie and one of the special mystery FF. End of the month, beginning of june. Watering seeds/seedlings kills me. I will try a grow kratky style as i do leafy greens for my dearded dragons. Scotty throw them in a pan and fill with water, walk away a few hours, come back to fed plants.
