Indoor Humidity During Flower

[Bobblunt]

Seems as though i have another issue can anybody help please? Typical, now i have my conditions dialed in here comes another barrier to get over. They are in 15l pots and drinking 3.5l of water every second day as the pots completely dry. I watered last night, they were happy and this morning one in particular is like this



Is it under watered? If so how as i water it every second day with 3.5l? Should i be watering it with say 5-6l and only every 3-4 days?

Any advice would be great Thanks all

Sorry what substrate are you using again? Soil / coco ? Any perlite added?

Do you happen to have a spare 15L pot somewhere that you could fill with your soil / coco? This extra filled pot could be a reference guide of how a pot with juice soil / coco and no water feels.

Generally with soil you want to water it slowly and gently and evenly and you want some runoff to come out the bottom of the pot. Then you want to wait so the top inch or two of the soil is dry before watering it in the same way again.

Coco you can feed smaller amounts more often, you don't want coco to get dry at all you want it to remain moist, but never soaking or flooded.

How does the droppy pot weigh compared to the other pots?

Don't feed them all the exact same amount of water all the time. Some plants will be more thirsty than others. Go by the weight of the pot. After you water them if one or two of the pots feels lighter, give them more water. When hand watering potted plants the trick is in the 'feel' of the weight of the pot. Hence why I suggest having an empty pot with soil in it to get used to how that pot feels when it's empty. After feeding till run off a few times you'll get to know how the pots feel when they're properly saturated. They should feel pretty darn heavy.

Yeah I am using soil which I added perlite too.

I usually go by the light pot water until heavy method which I have been doing. Yesterday it was very light and watered with 3.5l water and this morning it's like that ......


what does it look like to you? It's not overwatering is it? Looks more like under watered to me so maybe I am not feeding enough although there is usually a little run off.

Thanks mate!

All sorted. I gave her an emergency 2 liters before the lights out. (i do usually water when lights come on but given the situation) Lights have just come back on and shes perked up well. Guess now i will up the watering from 3.5 to 5-5.5 liters per 15l pot. Auto Blueberry is in a 30 liter and shes doing great!
