Watering Everyday

[potrocket]

I grow Jack Herer outdoors all year round. During winter, I grow her in 50 ltr tubs so I water each plant 10 litres each day,

WOW sly i have 60ltr containers and only use 4-5 litres max every 3-4 days during summer bro ! Ya think that 10ltrs every day might be a waste of nutes ? Although i do use 50% coco which holds water extremly well ! Just a thought !

All the best !! THC .

Mate,

If you saw my plants, you wouldn't think it was too much! I've been doing this way for years. For a start you live in Tassie which is way cooler than here. Where I am we get days of 46 deg + on a regular basis during summer. They would be dead here after 4 days of no water. During winter it still gets into the 20's regularly. I get very minimal rain. How much do you get per plant??

Yeah sorry for the confusion sly ,

You are probably right mate

You should give your plants more nutes and water mate with those black pots .

Note that i only use 4-5 litres of water/nutes every 3 days because my pots are painted white (hint hint)

And i never allow rain on my plants anymore.... i used to but i dont like droopy plants .

The temps in my geenhouse havent been below 42 deg celcuis for 2 weeks !

And i'm in SE QLD mate .

Yet i wish i was in tassie because their daylight hrs are longer and if i was there my bubblegum plant

would have a longer vege time (pic 5)

I'll show you overwatering pics and the reason i don't like rain ...

And coco mixed with soil in a 55-60ltr pot painted white to retain miosture and give you a few tips

on how you can save money on nutes and flushing every 2nd day with 10litres of water to prevent salt build up !

Peace and All the best ! I'd like to see your pics to mate !

Where do you live Billygoat, Under a bridge?? Last year we had 10 days in a row over 42 degrees. We had several at 46 + and a couple of days at 50. Do you want proof or don't you believe anyone?? Edited December 8, 2012 by slysloth420

Hey potrocket,

I reckon I would be embarrassed to post pics like that! I think I will stick to my way of doing things thanks!
