Re: How do I Determine my Watering Schedule for Container Plants?

no you wouldnt have to do anything special...you might have to go back to your grow a day sooner thats all...it really all depends...I mean if your using smaller 5 gallon buckets the lift method or the finger method may work..but I like to use larger containers to avoid rootballing at the bottom of 5 gallon buckets towards the end of the grow... and itll be wet on the bottom and dry almost 3-4 inches down...mainly Ive learned to use the finger test as an idea to how dry the soil is and then I also pay attention to the leaves..they are the sure signs of over/under watering.....regardless after the few seasons ive been through ive found out that every 2,3,4 days ((depending on your strain)) you can water...two days being the most often and every four days being the least, duh...
