Uh.....hmmm....let me try another angle take a gallon jug and slowly pour it for 5 seconds or so around the base of the plant, stop wait for 30 seconds see if water comes out the bottom of not repeat, it might be a gallon or half no telling how much it will take to come out of the bottom.
I agree, I don't just dump water in one spot I circle the base of the plant then stop and wait to see if bottom of pot starts dripping. Enjoy the time with the ladies I take my time and enjoy working on them....I might be nuts but you can almost hear them whisper a thanks at times.
It's different with different grow mediums ,I just finished watering 3 ladies in 13 gallon pots 50% coco 50% soil. I took 3 gallons total. Water a little wait a minute to see if water comes out the bottom, when you first see water come out of the bottom...... STOP!
Two basic ways to tell if you...
Yes, what I was doing was starting sprouts under 2'T5 HO I am trying the next batch under LED. I usually let them stretch in the first week then replant up to first leaves and put under LED then no more stretch.
I use a Rhino grow 400. They morphed into Progrow I think, mine was $650 new. Most LED on EBay under $200 you need to watch out for.In our commercial grow we only run LED with American chips....we avoid the Chinese ones
I would use the Botanicare line its a simple and effective nutrient line. I am using the Kind base,grow,cal mag and liquid karma for veg. The Liquid Karma is fantastic. My Ladies are DARK green and glossy.Little known fact the organic fertilizers don't do as well when growing with LED at least...
