![]() ![]() If needed to wet the entire pot bit still gst 0 runoff i will use 2.5L per feed. Once they are drinking 1L of water a day I up it to 2 over other day or as needed and use the pot weight to judge this. I up the amount of water used by 1/2 L as needed as the plant grows. I begin seedlings with 1/2 liter each watering as needed and only water at the root base straight to the bottom of the pot in attempt to get the tap root straight to the bottom as quick as possible. This also helps prevent root rot and other root destroying problems. ![]() It also saturates the H2O with oxygen and the more oxygen getting to the roots the better. I start seedlings for 10 days with plain water that I sit out and bubble for 24 hrs minimum prior to use to rid of chlorine to not kill some of the tings we are trying to put into our soiless mix. Understand that salts will build up quicker if not watering to run off and allowing some salts to be washed away but we'll compensate for that later with a flush before going into flower. For me nutes are too expensive to be running 10 percent of them off into a catch pan. Imo this allows me to feed 6.0 ph and as the pot dries and ph slowly creeps back toward 7ph the plant is able to absorb nutrients in all ranges in between. Pro mix bx is a SOILESS mix and I feed it just above reccomended hydro ph and just below soil ph. I add dolomite lime 1tbs/gal to help balance the ph to a neutral 7. Others are just as good I just prefer soiless mixes with little to no nutes so I'm in control of all feeds and how much, and promix is very light allowing those roots to travel anywhere they please with little effort. ![]() Imo that's one less day of flowering and with auto's every day counts. I don't want my girls to be root bound by a smaller container for even one day. I also germ and then go straight to final pot. So if you want small concealable stealthy plants by all means use a 1 gallon pot. With auto's and any other mj the quickest way to stop growth and keep plants smaller is to limit there root growing space. Air prune with air pots essentially kills the tip of the root when it gets to the edge of the pot forcing it to branch out along the root stem and form a larger mass of roots instead of following the path of the edge of the bucket to the bottom and not branching as much. I use smart pots but really any airpot or pot that forces the root system to air prune itself. the first place to start is the pots and soil. Ok here's my planned setup and feedings and why This is from an old thread of If you aren't familiar with the name google it buddy as he will be an awesome source of knowledge for you mate ![]()
