Well, i'm just wondering... How many of you water lightly "when needed" and how many of you water until you see "run off".
Doing some google searches i'm finding a big debate issue. I've just recovered about 18 girls from over watering in the last week. In my experience the transplant into a dry/ loose medium always brings the best way to recover.
Yesterday was my first time watering (only a 1/4 of a liter)which is pretty light in a 3 gal smart pot and 2 week old plants. Most of them had explosive new growth and now a couple are wilting already.
I'm assuming the ones that are wilting just didn't completely recover. So I dug out a little of the top layer of soil and added 3 hoses into the top inch of soil around the roots that are leading to an air pump to get more oxygen into the root ball.
This is something I have never tried but just happened to think of while I was doctoring the issue. It couldn't hurt and ill let you know how it works out.
Anyway, seems I am having more problems with over watering
In the the last couple of years than i've ever had in my 15 years of growing lol. One thing I have noticed that I am doing differently lately is watering more often with smaller amounts of water.
Used too i'd water till runoff every time and I always knew when to water by letting the plant actually wilt just a little. I think I am going to go back to my old method next time around, but I have seen some amazing growers grow huge plants with faster growth doing the "little at a time" method.
In your opinion which works better, which is proven to work better, the pros/cons and dos and dont's of each method?
