I stick my finger in the soil about an inch in a couple different spots. If my finger comes out fairly dry, then I water. Never fails.
Sorry but that is an incorrect method and if u used a mosituee sensor youll knoe why, better of picking up the pots and agter time u learn the feel for the soil type in pot
@@dannyarmata8878can't pick up a pot if the plants are in the ground.
The finger method actually works, people have been doing it for ages past.
Facts bacause water can still be in the middle or bottom...@dannyarmata8878
Marijuana is a very fascinating plant
It is very!😅I'm growing my first plant, 1 of 4 seedlings 🌱 from hydroponics to soil, I think I'm doing well, plant is healthy, started in March.
I didn't top! Alot of thin branches, flowering small and sparce. Somebody help, lol, can send pics and a video of the plant.🪴
I switched to cloth pots this year and they are fantastic. These allow airflow and drainage like there’s is no pot there basically. I water my fully mature plants that are flowering probably about a gallon or so a day and feed them advanced nutrients 3 part every three days.
A gal. of water seems like a lot, but not knowing the humidity I guess it is possible.
I wish it was an app you put strand in and it tells you specifics about the plant, how to grow detailed, and how to maintain it all way through.
Watering by weight is amazing. Water is very heavy so when the plant only weighs like a pound and is very light, you can water it a decent amount.
I think that over watering is probably the most common mistake that organic or livingsoil growers make. Especially when hand watering.
When I'm watering, I go by the weight of the container. I lift the container both before and after watering. You quickly get a feel for how much water is needed. Usually between 5% and 10% of the soil volume in my "supersoil" mix.
To avoid over watering, I never exceed 10% of soil volume.
Happy growing! 💚🌱🔥🧬🌿💨💨
Edited for spelling
Depends on your soil. This is why people tend to fail with in-ground growing. Potting mixes help maintain proper moisture and prevent overwatering, at the cost of losing nutrients everytime you water. Native soils hold moisture and nutrients a LOT better and should be watered and fed a lot less
Great teaching video I an a grower an I tell people this people all the time
I just use my finger. But typically after a few weeks when I learn how thirsty the plant is, it just becomes routine. And of course hotter days automatically get water in the morning.
Hello, my flower is drooping. Is it due to excessive watering? And what should I do? Can you help me? thanks
@@TonyMontana53921 Is it outdoor or indoor? If it's outdoor I'm assuming it's hot. How often are you watering them? How much at a time? I need more specifics.
My auto plants are in a 3 gallon cloth pot and I water 330ml every day.I learned that this is called high frequency irrigation.This irrigation is nutritionally fortified, so it is not pure water.I have never had any problems for about 10 years.I drain the drain water at the end of the day.I recommend you research this topic.good luck .
The problem I realized doing the finger method it might be dry on the top but moist in the middle and bottom ..lifting the pots is a good method .. but dont let it dry out completely.. they do like a little dryness here and there
If my plants stay green and grow big sticky dank flowers that get me baked have I done something wrong? Is it just somebody else trying to convince me that gardening is rocket science and I need to spent $1k on some new gadgets?
It’s usually the latter.
Preach. I’ve been growing good stuff for years on straight river water. They’re in 5 gallon cloth pots and I water every other day. Feed once a week. It’s not nearly as difficult as some of these guys make it out to be.
@@jimmyglea just when I get over confident with my watering routine with liquid nutes I switched to top dressing organics. I’m in uncharted territory as I can’t water to runoff doing it this way. Two photos in solo cups and two autos in three gallon all under two weeks. It’s like have four newborns in the house. Seedlings freak me out and I hover over them like a new parent. 😂
@@StanMNdirt You’ll fine with the seedlings as long as you remember to keep your hands to yourself. They and the sun know what to do. Top feed nutes are great (you won’t need much if you start with good soil) and as long as you’re not completely flushing them out, seeing water seep from the bottom of the cloth pots isn’t a bad thing.
@@jimmyglea they’re indoors and I am experienced with liquid nutrients. I’m using the Coast of Maine Stonington Blend and planting seedlings in Bar Harbor. So far it’s been easier with less guessing. The main difference with organic is having to work it into the soil a week earlier as opposed to liquids.
@@StanMNdirt I start my langbenite as soon as I pot the soil and don’t add the other nutes until flowering starts. I enjoy seeing how other people do stuff! As long as you’re having fun, it’s working.
I go by weight or signs of slightly drooping leaves
Hello, my flower is drooping. Is it due to excessive watering? And what should I do? Can you help me? thanks
@TonyMontana53921 depends if it's just the leaves drooping or if the stems are drooping as well. If just leaves it's over watered if I remember correctly. The other is not watered enough.
Very simple. Just look at the plants. After a while, you just know I mean. Wait until it dries out and then give it more water. Overwatering seems to be the number one killer of new plants. You’d be surprised how long these things can go without a water

@@Owlshadow.A little bit of stress can trigger more trichome and cannaboid production. 🤏
I grow my stuff in bags and watering is very different than pots.
I germinate my seeds in plugs and have been very successful doing so, I then transplant them into 5 gal bags and grow in tents. I don't water my transplants like large or flowering stage and I don't think it makes anydifference to the plant what size the pot is as long as it is not too small for root developement.
My opinion is watering is worried about too much. I also understand that the water requirements change through the life of the plant, obviously a mature plant stretching after flipping the lights will require more water, I also read somewhere a long time ago that a more arid environment cause the plant to make morer terps as protection from the sun.
Every1 just buy an ecowitt or better soil moisture sensor and sensor placement is critixal and varies depending on pot size
Simple effective advice. Thanks!
Video starts at 1:00
Watering in the evening can be an invitation for snails and slugs and who knows what other little invasive little buggers...Best to just water in the morning and if need-be, late afternoon so that the top soil dries out before dark. Just my 2 cents.
great video. always use a water meter and trays.. .good advice
Please make a video of growing cannabis in pot without drainage hole and using compost only
Depends on where u live and in or outdoor
Also the strain... the health of the plant... in ground or in a pot.... the kind of soil...the kind of pot...
I love hp promix I can’t lie lol I can add whatever I want to it.. love it
I'm using Mother Earth GroundsWell, seems to be doing good as far as health but requires nutrients be used since it's fairly neutral
@@purplepunch4204 bro for real, even if they drop, they end up praying in a hour after watering.. I agree with you!
I'm using mother Earth as well but I was told to use 80% mother earth organic soil 10% perlite and 10% Coco
@@AskChris the GroundsWell has perlite mixed in, it's very fluffy when working with it so plenty of space for roots to thrive, just requires more watering
I always thought the best way to water cannabis, there was one simple rule, Only water when dry.
😮 actually I find the water filter funneling the photons right into the leaf awesome. Of course this is a tedious task to help my weak grow lights.

I water every 4 days. Just perfect time when it drys
Idk. Big plants even outside can suck the soil dry in 1 day if it's really hot. Water and grow space is the real bottle neck when growing.
Perlite
And not only are they better for the making process but rice halls actually give some nutrients to soil wile giving good drainage wile perlite has zero nutrients and is bad for the environment to make
Excellent content thank you
I totally overwater all of the time! I can’t help it! I can’t get enough of visiting with my plant and trying to get the right amount of nutrients, but I always overdo it but my plant looks great for the most part. I need help. My plant secretly tells me she is thirsty, probably because I have so many lights. I got plenty of air blowing on her, but the soil never wants to dry out even though I’ve drilled several holes in her container.. I don’t even smoke weed. I just love to grow plants. 🪴 I love the look. I love the smell. I need help.
Is in your head. I think your plants are just fine. I go through the same battles. The mind is just crazy lol
@@022v-mustang I’m not sure if you replied to me but we quit growing 10 years ago. I only grow a couple at a time with cheap little grow lights now. We sold everything several years ago.
I order everyday when they get a little bit bigger I order twice even three times a day even from seed soon as they got four leaves I water twice a day
I go by weight by lifting them. After a while, you will know what your girls need. Changes every grow
Hello, my flower is drooping. Is it due to excessive watering? And what should I do? Can you help me? thanks
Or just grow in coco & feed as often as you like. The more often, the better. You can't overwater in coco.
Hello, my flower is drooping. Is it due to excessive watering? And what should I do? Can you help me? thanks
Could be overwatering. If the leafs are drooping and have a “claw” formation (tip of leaves curling downward).
If the are drooping like tissue paper then it’s probably a nutrient lock out.
If A-stop watering for a few days.
If B-flush your pots
We are in a heat wave right now and my plants are getting sun-baked. I have to water heavily every day but have slowed down on the nutes. I mix up the nutes every third day at this time!
Get an autopot...no.need to worry, the roots seek out the water and take what they need
I water at 3/4 dry
Little n often 😉
prefer to grow smack to be honest. how do i stop my mate from down the way ripping all the heads off the day before i was going to?
Grow them in a tent, in your basement. Hell, you could fill a 4X8 with them. I don't know anything about the yield though. I guess you could have your own opium though. I am going to think about that.
Well said my friend......well said
Basically more water the bigger the plant gets and less water is always better then over watering. Pick up the pot with no water and soil and thrn pick it up with water to tell the weight difference also use your finger in the soil to tell if its wet also you will be able to tell by color when the soil is dry on top.

Прекрасный канал!!!!!! Сам выращуюю!!!!! Курите братья Андрон!!!!! Привет из Сибири!!!!!
I joined the discord channel!! My first discord server!
I have a friend whom has out door, more often than not it goes over watered because of rain and then wonders why his buds become or turn fungus.
I haven’t seen his soil ever or even get near dry. I feel for him as he does it to save money, not sure how to help him.
Any suggestions?, I tell him about this channels and others not beating around the bush here.
But you can only lead a horse to water, or a bro.
Tell him to use coco and a perlite mix (min 25% perlite) coco is fantastic at preventing over watering and aerating the substrate. One down side it has no nutritional value so he will need to atleast use a fair amount of fish mix throughout the whole grow- 2ml per litre and upward. When it's time to flower add a phosphorus rich nutrient into the feed schedule too.
I'm from the UK aswell so our climate is horrible and we have to deal with unexpected rain, but if its never drying toctaht extent he csn feed it comfortably he'll be best to get dry amendments and top dress the plant to feed it that way. Also tell him to stick to Sativa or Sativa dominant hybrids if he's anticipating mould problems etc as it will minimise it. Been setting up grows in the middle of no where for years in the UK. Put them in pots as they'll also finish a few weeks quicker than being in the ground directly if you tend to buy fast flowering outdoor strains👍🏻
@@callumludlow856 Thank you I will let him see this reply. I so feel for him as he puts a lot of work in. I even purchased two bags of those clay balls for him to put in the bottom. He didn’t use them tho so don’t know if that would have helped.
Sir female plant how to do chose
Should i be giving my plants anything else besides water. And mines are outside. 1st timer
It all depends on your medium and if you have added anything to it, what did you put it in?
Bro for my outside in ground and in buckets I've always used PETERS 20-20-20. JUST BE CAREFUL & don't think if a little is good more is better
@rickeyhorstkoetter632 Should try BioBizz or cannas organic range for outdoors, or even go down the route of using 'living soil' dry amendments I had a 7ft+ monster using dry amendments and putting directly into a pre dug hole filled. Easy application just top dress every other week and when needed then water in. This is after your initial mix with the growing substrate in your hole.
Depending on your country I'd say give the biobizz outdoor pack a go as yo can use fishmix for vegetation stage then bloom and top max for flowering (can use fish mix the whole entire grow) if you're in the UK you can get a try pack for £20-£25
If anyone can tell me if I'm doing right I checked my pH on bottom water is pH @4.8 I'm pH up til its where I want it
@@stangcobra592 I know I've gotten it up gradually still low they were at 4.8i got em up to 5.5 in last couple waterings I pH it kinda high til I can get it proper they look good n healthy but there not burnt leaves no more should I lay off my nutes till the pH up more or just pH up my nutes?
Rainwater only
Always feed from the bottom 🙈🙈
I just wait until the leaves wilt!
I just go by what the plant is telling me. Otherwise its about every 3 days.
I'm a retired cop, growing my first plants to use as a sleep aid. The plant must recognize me, because it won't tell me a thing!
?????????So I’ve been wondering about this maybe someone knows. When I had my air conditioner put in my house ac guy told me the water was just condensation and like distilled water . Dude drank it in front of me told me was super clean . I routed it to my grape harbor and chickens pen. Would it be good for growing pot. Never really grown seriously. Couple times as a kid but yea. I know people say chlorinated water is bad, and then you see some people basiclly install a tap of city/chlorinated water on them. Anybody know anything here ????????? Maybe atleast it’ll save me some sleep n smoke lol
jo, this is fucking cool
Thank ya, subbed.
I'm selling cannabis in Eswatini
Just get an autopot guys takes all of it out of the way
μονο ελληνικο σπορο να βαζετε αλλα που να τον βρειτε
Top 5cm dry. Aha, for me it would mean to leave the plant 3-4 weeks alone. 😂
Recognizing the weight of your pot before and after watering, finger methods is not accurate, when time to water just add enough until the water runs off the bottom then you stop easy!
Sometimes there is a pathway created by previous waterings, where it follows, ultimately watering inadequately, since it missed most of the soil, going straight down to drain holes and out the pot. Not a reliable method
Good grow at all growers at the World from Steevewonder 🎉🎉🎉🎉
1:21 how the fuck am i supposed to know how much a plant will yeild before hand. That number it's not just absurd it's nonsense
👍👍
This series of videos generalises to the extent of confusion. Its probably AI generated (like the graphics). There are better tutorials out there.
The last watering video I'll have to watch huh. I learned that plants need water. Wtf
1.25gal. Is 25% of 5 gal. 😂😂🎉❤🎉
What are the measurements in standard?? 😂 sorry I'm a dumb American

In no fucking way whatsoever does swearing imply an uneducated or simplistic mind. Your time would be better served addressing the people who can't spell or use correct punctuation. You know, the literally uneducated.
