More Frequent Watering for Cannabis Plants
More Frequent Watering for Cannabis Plants
Whether you grow in soil, coco coir, or some other grow media, or if you water with water alone or a nutrient mix.
The case for more frequent watering at smaller doses per watering.

Turns out as of now. Studies show that a 40% dry back adds to trichome production…. definitely don’t let the microbes die.
It really depends upon the poise of your soil, the more robust facultative anarobes and airobes populations that you have the greater your plants ability to handle the swings. Dry and hot is oxidative or acidification, wet and low air flow is alkaline or reductive or anerobic bacteria either extreme will lock out nutrients bc of the metabolic process’ of the microbes found in said environment
What about drainage ? When does that happen… i normally feed to drain so if i feed twice a day do i feed the second time to drain ?
Sorry buddy got nothing better to do than to sit around my plants and water every 30 minutes come on
I’ve been following this for the past 3yrs to great success in Outdoor grows. I couldn’t think of doing it any other way!
what about root rot and fungus gnats and things that also thrive on moisture, pests, mildew etc..? What about dry spots in the soil? Why rely on a machine to pump the water, when in nature water comes sporadically, forcing plants to store and release energy at different intervals strengthening cell walls and pacing growth cycles and over achieving long term goals? I’ve always let my plants fully dry out, Leaves will usually give you a 24hour warning sign before you do any irreversible damage. Don’t overwork yourself, take a day off if you want.

What if you stay I the pacific where it’s mostly red dirt. Almost like clay.
Automatic watering is great for synthetics as your able to mix pre batches and be fine but if your using a nutrient line like nectar for the gods which is 16parts and can’t be premixed bc it’s organic and natural products unless you make a batch in the morning and have the time to hand water 12 times a day this is irrelevant information about watering. I currently use 2 qrts every other day at 2000ppm and my ppms drop to 6-650 every other day in the soil. Two qrts in 5 & 7 gal seems perfect and my plants never get dry or hydrophobic
some nice plants
Lol every hour
I am watering every day about 2dcl and noticed how roots are staying high. Just dig 2cm with finger on top and i can see roots. I like this. Better oxygenation and keeping moist constant.
Yeah mind blowing very good info useful thanks
Food for thought for soil growers — observe the plants’ leaves instead of watering on a prescribed or regimented schedule “every few hours” or “every few few days.”
They tell you when they’re thirsty. Watch the leaves. When the plants show me they’re ready for watering, the leaves begin to wilt instead of praying. So when they wilt, they will get watered/fed. One to two hours later, the plants show me they are satisfied and happy because the leaves will be back to erect position — praying to the light.
This sounds similar to my,"just enough, just in time " method that I use for my greenhouse. I find that it helps boost potency early, and requires less feeding later on in flowering stages. 😊 great information…thanks
I don’t know everybody that Waters everyday has no nodes and if you’re going to water every day it sounds like a full-time job
Water 1 side of pot…Don’t drown
The most helpful video in cannabis community🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is some deep knowledge right here. TY!
ptrides
10 times a day with an auto feeder
it works best for low RH . ITS COMMON SENSE. if you don’t know that you have no buisness growing.
@growboss
Oh you water your plants? Noobs.
this is the secret and how you manage dry backs vs ec bcuz you can stack nutrients in tight root zones for quick and constant uptake of nutrients which maxes out flavor and potency all learned from jungle boys but this video gets you in the right direction for sure
I want to know who talked to a plant and asked it when it drank water.
Obviously for synth growers
Someone tell this guy that you don’t get paid in the shade! Lots of long petioles and fluffy flowers.
Makes sense, it doesn’t rain once for 20 min every two days.
Lmao! Dry farming for the win. Build a proper soil bed and let the rain water and never waste money and time watering again!
30 yards from a stream, 6 feet above crest level, in quality native soil….
…..I never water…..the tap roots make it to the water table, and she takes what she wants.
So much conflicting info for new growers out there! I grow outdoors in containers and was just told, "Don’t over water, just every 4 days are fine, fill to overflow, then leave it till you can pick the pot up and feel its bone dry then soak it again!" Now this! Uggh! Who’s right who’s not ?
How do i get a hold of peter? I got a bunch of surplus of no till meds.
So crazy to see how far we have come in so few years.. we are going to all look back at this video & these comments and laugh at how naive we were 😂
All I have to say is fuck pm and don’t overwater
one word,well i guess three—-SIP
thank you
use wick watering for a consistent level of moisture available to the plant.
like the bud by his arm
Waste of water…in ground can go days w out water…in pots go by weight.. know your plants.look for first signs of thirst..
I found using 15 gallon fabric pots with 75/25 mix of ocean forest/ happy frog, then mix that with 25% perlite.
Water every day 1-3 gallons per day. After 30 days add a tablespoon of fish emulsion per gallon once a week. Super easy.
Love the video and the info!
Amen
Water is love.
I seen a huge huge difference bu using saponin
ASwesome stuff thanks for the Vid 🙂 . I seen this many years ago and just had to come back to it . Big help. thanks again .
