I once grew a 6 ft. plant on my backyard porch in a middle-class neighborhood in an illegal grow, and no one even knew lol it turned out to be a male so it didn't stink as bad but it still had a smell being that big. I have no idea why I did that. It was my first time, and I just wanted to see if I could actually get it to grow, and it just kept getting bigger, lol. I wish it was a female because that thing was huge and thick with twin stalks with a shit ton of off shoots.
Just soak it one good time,(lift plant, it should be heavy) now leave it alone until it's dry.(lift plant, should be light) works well with fabric and plastic pots. ( This is not a preferred method for organic grows.)
heheheh there is a solution to everything… i use a system where the plants regulate their own waterring so if they use more they get more and if they dont drink they dont get it keeping the soil at a steady moisture level not to wet and not to dry …. and my ladies love me for that giving me the best fruits 🙂
So I recently started growing and I fimmed my plant and one of the leaves on the new shoot went white and very easily broke off what could that be from also it caused another shoot to be weak I’m not sure if I actually did it but it split down the middle I’m assuming it’s because I may have had the light to close but wanna make sure
Make sure you have proper ventilation in your grow space. If not, the soil will take much longer to dry out and you'll probably end up over watering. A small fan on medium setting is fine. That "top inch of the soil" method is useless for determining the moisture of the entire root zone. Also, every plant will be different so pay attention to what they're telling you from day to day.
Yeaaaa no, wait for the leaves to tell you when to water, this is the best way ive found to prevent overwatering while giving ur plants enough time to dry out. The leaves will go from nice and perky to slowly sitting lower than normal, thats the key indicator. If the leaves are damn near dangling from the stem then u waited too long and you might be underwatering. Overwatering on the other hand is how often you water not how much you give at once. Leaves on an over watered plant will curl down and have a claw appearance, this is also normal when you hit them with water after the dry period but they'll raise back up in a few hours or less. The top inch of the soil is just the top inch of the soil, think about the rest of the soil where moisture may be present. If the soil feels bone dry and the pot feels light but the plant looks happy then leave it alone. Let the plant tell you when it needs something, pay attention to when it speaks. Happy growing👍
Also gonna point out that these plants won’t drink water in temps above 90 so skip watering during the highest heat of the day because otherwise mold will try to grow
Funny… I learned this the hard way. A few ruined grows but this is actually how I do it. Also as the plant matures you have to increase the water amount to the size of the plant
The leafs will tell you when they need to be watered.Once they start to hang down and if in a pot you can pick up one side and see how heavy or light they are.Also find out whether they are from a desert dry climate or Mediterranean area.
I water once a week with a Little nutrients. Except the 2 in Organic soil. They only get water. Some videos on my channel. It's my first grow. Mind you I'm in a Legal state.
Watering properly is essential for growing organic. My current method.
25 gallon fabric pot. Sits on a raised platform. I transplant from red solo, half gallon, five gallon pots.
Then I put her in the 25 gallon pot. 2 gallons of water/touch of cal-mag. Once every 2-3 days for the first month. By the end of flower, she will take two gallons just about every day.
Good point about easier to correct underwatering than overwatering. I tend to over water my 5 gal buckets. I know I need more drainage. Pearlite, I know. Thanks for the tips.

First time grower and it’s hard to judge I don’t know if if mmm doing enough then I think I did too much

I dont agree with the top inch. Lift the container ifs it’s lite water it. Water it til 20 percent run off. Your welcome always.
When in doubt drought
Legalize it!
Top inch test is dumb, cannabis experts…..

Probably shouldnt be growing it in the ground either because of metals getting into the plant

They have no problem telling you one thing, and skip over how much water, nutrients, they tell you one side of the whole story!!!!
Step one/ learn to grow in coco or hydro stop being a noob
Amen

I was watering every day now I'm doin every other day then I'll go every 3 days max
Dry time is important to help the roots grow so skip a day or 2 in between watering
