I am starting an outdoor grow op outside in the summer under a pinon tree. Ive got most of the logistics figured out but I just needed to know how much water the plants will need in the veg cycle, and flowering cycle. I'm pretty worried because I cant go to see them every day, infact I will probably only be able to go up there once or twice a week. I was thinking to save water I could put a black trash bag over the soil so that the hot sun will not steal all my water, but I'm still worried that the hot sun will roast my plants.(I live somewhere in New Mexico mind you, so it gets really hot a dry.)I also have worked what will hopefully work as a three day drip system.
Heres how it works. Get your water source(idk how much water I will need, its kinda what I want to learn from this) connect a hose to it. Then put the hose on a 1/2 Gallon per hour drip nozzle, then to make it 1/4 gallon per hour drip, connect another hose to the end of the nozzle and then put that into a 3 way splitter. So then that would be two of my plants getting 1/4 GPH of water. I was thinking this would work assuming no gravitational bias to one plant or the other during the splitting phase. I was wondering:
How much water does each plant need during Veg cycle and during the flowering cycle?,
How can I help my plants retain water better?
And general input would help a lot I have read a lot of the threads about outdoor grow but they are always in places that get water from natural sources and are not hot as hell.
