hey mr.x

 

I give my plants 1.5lts of water a week, each that is, and like you carted it in by backpack, i had to trek in 8 x 1.5lt bottles and added some maxi-crop with them too, just a bit, so i didnt want a massive backpack either.

 

never really had any problems, the plants all grew 7ft, which was my restriction and some up to 10ft at another site. it really depends on weather, if it was raining on and off with sun, i didnt bother watering them, they were growing just fine, and in the intense heated weeks i would do the trek to make sure they were well watered.

 

i guess in the back of my mind, i figured, they were "weeds" too, they grow pretty dam well in most conditions.

 

just my thoughts. cheers.

Thats cool indoor in flower mine usin lot more than 1.5 liter a day, i find it very encouraging that it can be done with such little water, since our summer heat is so fucking hot......planin on doin outdoor bush grow this year n was thinkin i needed haul in drums every 2nd or 3rd day

It depends on so many factors that its pointless to try figure it out just have a crack and see how ya go.

 

Its not just the rainfall u get while ur plants are in that is important. With good off-season rainfall a soil profile can holding lots and lots of water especially a clay soil. Also plants use deep soil water much more efficiently than they do top soil water, because the roots in th dry top soil send signals to say shit close your stomata (pores) its dry while the bottom tap root provides water. This cause greatly reduces water loss.
