Hi all! What is a common watering schedule and how much do you supply to each plant? I'm using 3 gal fabric pots. I've tried using the every 3 day schedule but the plants don't respond as I think they should. When I try to adjust, I get yellowing leaves and tip curling. The water is pHed to approx. 6. Thanks.

What is the ph of the runoff water rtfdc1? Do you have any pictures?
Higherthehigh I wouldn't recommend watering daily. How do your plants look?

I'm with The Germinator on this one. I'm only on my first grow, but the only time I watered my plants every day was when they were in their first pot, and that was only a 1/2 cup per watering. After I transplanted to 3 gallon air pots I watered them a half gallon of water every four days. Eventually, as they grew they began looking droopy on day 4, so I upped it to every 3 days. When they started looking droopy again I changed to every other day, but I also cut back from 1/2 to 1/3 gallon of water and that's still where I'm at now. I get only a little runoff which usually evaporates by the next watering. But experiment and see what works for you. Perhaps The Germinator will correct me
but I don't think you can do any harm to your plants by letting them go a little droopy, so long as you then give them water. Peace!

I run 3 gal smart pots, i have no set schedule. When the pot is light, like it's tried out I water. During veg I only have to water about once a week. In flower about every two to three days.
What type of soil are you running?
