So .... how much water to use?
I am using 5 gallon cloth pots with an organic soil mix. The problem is, this is my first grow ever. I have no idea how much I'm supposed to water. I understand to not over water. I also understand that I need to wait till the plants are fairly dry before watering .... because they don't like wet feet.
But, the one thing I don't understand yet is ...... how much water do I use.
The first time I watered my plants after transfering them into the bigger 5 gallon pots, I used a gallon of water in each pot. It may sound extreme, but only about an inch of water pooled into the saucers under the pots. I figure the initial soil was pretty dry and needed the soaking. But, I don't think a gallon each time I water would be appropriate. But, then again, I have no idea how much water to use. So, I could be wrong.
So ...... I would like to hear how much water others use, and what size pots you are using. That way I can get a better idea about how much is reasonable or neccessary.
Temps are 75 degrees and humidity is 40%.
