Know-How is power !

SpeesCees · 05-07-2007, 12:06 PM

Everything on this section or topic by Cees (Mr.XX/Cannaplant) was written by his own experience. If you have any questions about a subject, don't hesitate to post. I tried to make the information understandable for every grower..

Imagine giving the plants only half the water they get now. I am absolutely sure that there would be more to harvest.

WE GIVE TO MUCH WATER!
ALLMOST EVERYBODY!

During rain a plant the vegetative phase will transport the rainwater to the outside of the plant, because the plant does not want to have water near it's stem during this phase. On all sides of the stem there are roots that secrete salts and / or nitrates (just look at the white lines in the pot after a full cycle). Because it's not good for a plant to have it's own precipitated toxic substances going through it's roots again, we advice the following: Give the plants water at the bottom as much as possible! Put a dish under your pots. After you have watered the plants from the top for the first time only give water in the dishes. The taste of your weed will be milder.

A reminder not to overwater.

PFlynn · 12-09-2007, 12:30 AM

Thank you for some important information.

Will so use that my first grow comming up soon.

I love this place.

I have seen so many young growers literally drown their plants with kindness. This is a very important, yet basic tip to good growing. Get your basics down, and the rest follows.

I wish their was more specific info like this with hydro. Even though hydroponics normally feeds from the bottom, underwatering is not recommended and you have to follow the plants leaf pattern to get the water phases correct. Just a reminder that some info is made specifally for soil grow cultivations and with hydro watering depends primarily on the system you choose.

Hey guys just a question related to watering when flushing..I've been flushing/watering my plants until water pours out the bottom about every three to four days..is the too much watering rule also applied to flushing???

SpeesCees · 12-10-2007, 04:22 AM

If you work hydro....and you have a good drainsystem...it's coming to the same in my eyes.
Flushing in a way that the water is coming from under will always be the best.
The clou is to let the topmedium in peace...the plant need it to set off all toxicle stuf.

Stay cool.

Smokin Moose · 12-10-2007, 05:09 AM

And watering from the bottom does not wash all those nasty salts over the roots, like watering from the top does

Billy Blica · 12-10-2007, 02:08 PM

good thing my grow bags have their holes placed on the sides about an inch above the overflow..
Im gonna stop watering them all together now since my belief is my harvest will come sometime this week..they were soaked thoroughly for a week and a half, with the water pouring out the sides and all two or three times..i'll let them chill now and await the sign..

PFlynn · 12-11-2007, 05:03 PM

Hey Cees what about outdoor? will rain screw with the plant?When I grew outdoor with a friend we would cut the top lip of a tire out,find a safe place with good sun.We would bury the tire with bat guanno and fertilizer in the bottom lip of the tire.Then we would top it off with top soil and put the plant in the middle.The bottom lip of the tire would act like a resivor for rainwater.and it would slowly feed the plant.This allowed us to leave the plant alone,and not make paths to and from the plant.

SpeesCees · 12-12-2007, 04:34 AM

Ask yourself why the plants in veg time have their leaves in internotes left...right...left...right...left...etc. ?
If 3 drups of rain is falling in daytime...the leaves will hang down directly to move ( lead) the water as far away from the stem as possible !
It's ALL bacause the plant don't want too much water around the stem. because it's there where's the buffer of toxicle shit.

Ones again...sory for my poor english.

Boss · 12-12-2007, 09:54 AM

It's so funny how we never think of things like this. So obvious once explained, but a mystery until then. Sometimes life is cool.

SpeesCees · 12-13-2007, 05:15 AM

Just think that mother nature does heve a go for anything she's doing !
Every thing that is happening with our plants does have a reason.
FIND the natural reason...and you will become green fingers !

With respect for ( my god) Mother Nature !

Boss · 12-28-2007, 09:07 PM

SpeesCees · 12-29-2007, 08:42 AM

It's a matter of thinking : WHY did mother nature create it like this... ?
Ones you understand that....it's easy to make the right prognose and to do what's best for the plants.
