couple pics of the whole Garden Sorry about the Quality as I said wasnt really feeling well.
With me using the clay balls as a topping for the dirt to prevent gnants it's hard for me to actually tell when the plants need water. I was watering them like i was when I was growing outside but these inside plants dont seem to need as much. How much Water should I be giving each plant a day in 5 gallon smart pots. Outside I would have to water twice a day a gallon at a time but our summers are really hot with most days in the 90's. In the basement it stays a constant 69 F.
Right now my only issue seems to be figuring out the correct watering.
one other question about Ph I've never phed my water before but wanted to do this right so I bought that cheap ph treatment kit. Lucky me this thing came with no instructions on how much solution you are suppose to use. I store my water in a 32 gal trash can. First ph test was dark green so I added some ph down to the water. with no instructions I ended up adding to much phdown and then test results turned Dark red. so according to the chart I way over adjusted. slowing started adding ph up. Seems like it took twice as much solution to raise it to the yellow color. Finally got it to yellow so I think i'm ok.
Last question does the Ph stuff make your water smell like fishtank water. i've never had that smell to my water until I tried phing this week
In my experience a five gallon pot would take a gallon, maybe a bit more. The best way to water them though is to wait until they start to wilt and then slowly water until you get runoff, wait ten minutes and do that again, just until you get runoff.
69 degrees is a bit on the low side for temps. I usually try to get into the low 80s if possible. They'll grow for you, especially given the fact that you have them under that beautiful light and it's light that drives the grow, but if you can get the temperature up there just a bit you'll likely see benefit for the effort. Maybe a couple CFLs on there somewhere to generate a little heat?
I'm getting ready to check ph for the first time myself, so I'm of no use to you. Interesting that the treated water would smell like fish tank water. Fish tank water is one of the better things you can use in a cannabis garden. The plants love fish shit. Something tells me the smell in the treated water isn't from the same thing.
