Hows often to water plants?

Just curious, first time growing in a tent and my temps are way cooler than they used to be.

23.5-25.5 degree with lights on during veg.

Is it normal that the earth is still very wet after 3 days? (Used to water every second day)

Thanks :)

Yes 72 to 82 ideal for lights on and 65 to 75 Is ideal for lights out .

Where ypu talking Celsius above when you siad 20 s ?

I just checked and converted to Fahrenheit, my temps seem to be in middle of what you wrote exactly.

They used be above 26 always before so i guess the heat would dry them more?

Does 2 degree+ make that much difference?

They look healthy/young and the potters are good size compered to there size . a extra day inbetwwen waterings in not a big deal by the looks of you girls. If any thing just water less when you know cooler temps are coming if you cant control temp.


6 cups for each plant ?

Ya 6 cups per plant. Is that too much?

I'm also able to control temp easily actually, but i feel these are the healthiest they've been at that temp, at 6pm there flying upwards looks like they're dancing haha :D

Ill give less water then on the next watering, thanks alot man! :)

i lift every pot every day. have forever.
so lift a pot when watered notice how heavy it is.
then when you lift a pot and it is light is time to water it.
is a good way, some pots/ plants use less or more water.
hope this helps

Try watering half of your plants with a certain amount of water and use a little less for the the other
half. Eventually, you'll see what works better in your situation and then you can adjust accordingly.

Converting Celsius to Farenheit and vice versa is easy if you know the secret formula. :peek:

Temp in Celsius X 1.8 and then add 32 = degrees in Farenheit

Temp in Farenheit - 32 and then divide by 1.8 = degrees in Celsius

:tiphat:

Overwatering. Number one Newbie mistake. Good of you to dive right in though. Best way to learn.
