Grow Mediums fist grow help with watering

[gazza71]

Hi all, this is my first grow, been smoking the wonderfull herb for years. Recently getting more pissed off with the crap bud and deals around these parts. How can people sell this crap, rant over now.
Finally decided t av a go myself.
Growing in 1.2x2m tent
600w hps
8 pot Wilma system
6" rvk n filter
Canna pro coco
Ionic coco grow,bloom and boost
H@g root excelarator
Plant magic magne cal

germinated 2x auto mazar and 2 think different. They are at day 48.
All has gone well up t now, plants have been lovely green from day one.
I've been watering first thing in morn up t now, but the last few days wen checking them in morn the have been droopy. The coco still feels damp. They have started flowering a week ago.
Should i b watering more now say twice a day, im using 11l pots. As i say pots are still damp after 24hrs, didn't want t water again as worried about over watering. Any help would b much appreciated

If your pots feel heavy and the plants are wilting you are probably over watering. Only water when needed and pots feel light.:stylez rasta smoke:

Water your plants when nearly dry, if not roots will not stretch and possibility of mold is higher

Hey gazza
I'm a hand water like the folks above, so as they say, i water when the pots are light.
I've never used a wilma or drip system, but check out the sticky called "what truu knows about coco" here https://www.autoflower.org/f126/

There's a little bit of drip watering info there.

Hope this helps a little

All the best
Blue ^_^

Thanks for the replies lads. Bit more info, after I have watered in morn (using diy drip rings) the plants buck up in a couple of hrs, my lights go of at 12:20 for 4 hrs back on at 4:20 an hour later they look well happy for the night . But as I say by morning there droopy an wilted again. Temps for night time seem fine rnd 24c. As i say they have been on bloom for a week and throwing pistls all over. I have read one feed a day in flower is not enough. I know its trail n error for first few grows. I'm bit of a perfectionist in all i do n would like t c my girls happy all the time.

Hi Gaz

That sounds kinda normal, as long as they pickup in the day and the leaves go flat or raise themselves up to the light - thats fine. Check out some of the time lapse videos on the Dutch passion site, you'll notice the plants leaves, drop then raise then grow etc etc

I've personally never watered twice a day during flowering, but with have read in the coco forums how more regular (lower amount) feedings can benefit plant growth.

Thanks for that blue, put my mind at rest a bit. Maybe im worrying over nothing as growth is good.
In fact I've had no probs at all up t now. I have lst'd in veg and thrown a scrog net over them, have loads of tops.
EC is at1.5 at mo with bloom n cal/mag, wen should I start on the boost?

You can start the boost when the flowers start forming
I would go in gentle at 1ml per litre (upto 2ml when she gets big)

You can use it right to the end at that level.

Tagged for removal. The original poster has a week to let me know if you want to keep this on here. Thanks for your time. Bromeo

How you keep your humid level at this stage? its probably the problem.. you should still be around 50-60%.
