1gal/1plant/1week ?

[AnotherBum]

Growing in the northeastern states. Will 1gallon w/ nutes per 1plant per 1week be enough to keep these ladies happy? Or atleast happy enough to produce a decent harvest?

All information would be greatly appreciated.

depends on how big the pots are and what the nutes are, i guess.

Also, what the plant is. Some plants are serious water hogs, some are nute hogs. Some like to go light on the nutes.

Each of my plants gets about 3-4 gallons a week, about 2 of those gallons have nutes in them (For me its a combo of fox farm, molasses and guano...)

With a little more info I am sure folks will be able to help you out!

Sorry let me try to clarify as best I can.

Seeds: Good mids, bagseed.

Soil is just plain old cornfield soil.

And as for ferts its the cs17 I think its called. Have stuff for veg and stuff for bloom.

Sun whole day.

NO, straight up not enough to pull a for real crop. I have found that doing your watering this way at best BARELY gives them enough water to survive. Don't get me wrong, they will survive. Just won't give the over the top yields. More frequent waterings with maybe 2 gallons a week will produce better results. GOOD LUCK

So you think moving from 1gal/week to 2gal/week will make a moderate difference?

It took me 3 hours today hard labor to do 1/gal x plant.

But this is why im asking, if it will make a large improvement then I will attempt to do so.

So please, keep sharing your information and knowledge.

Thank you all.

explain why watering plants is "hard labor". would it be possible to set up a watering system?

3 hours hard labor for 1 gal

damn man , new spot, thats a bummer, i just finally got a 225 ft hose to my spot thru thick berry bushes to avoid having to carry 5 gal buckets every two days, i thought i had it bad for awhile...

good luck

need details about your situation, why so many hours, is water source far away, is plant area far away?

 

[JITAMON]

I will tell ya how watering is hard labor. How about when you have to haul buckets up and down hills to make ends meet. When plants are blowing up and they are in to small buckets, gotta water 2-3 times more than usual. I could go on and on, I think we ALL know " Watering a patch can be HARD labor"

And yes, I believe more water more betta

6 trips, 7 gallons per trip. to get my 1 gal/plant ratio. (5gal in arms and 2 singles in a backpack)

not incredibly far maybe 400 feet? 600? its through the woods.

hope that makes alittle more sense
