Hi people!

After screwing around outdoors ,
I was lucky enough to get a pack of Casey of the Bay


Now I really read a lot about indoor growing (Somas Organics book lots of icamg )


But still I have now clue on how much to water the plants.....
I know it sounds stupid but all I have haerd about it is not to kkep them too wet
or too try, but what i am looking for is a precise description on how much to water each day preferably adjusted to the pot size (i will be using 4,5 liter pots), is there some kind of formula regarding this?

I figuered as this is a head veriaty this was the place to ask..

Please icmag -growers help a newbie :P

Thank yall in advance and stay green

I'm going to repost this in the soil grow forums as nobody seems to care/have an answer...

There is not a dumb question you can ask when it concerns your plants.. I am pleased you choose casey as your indoor grow... The basic's of watering indoor plants can be found Here! .... post no5.

Over watering

Over watering is one of the biggest mistakes new growers make, reason for this is, because they feel the need to give there plant everything and will overdue a lot of things and one of them is over watering. By over watering your plant you soak the roots so much, they can’t get enough oxygen and slowly die. The plant shows signs of over watering by: Wilting, droopy look, yellow and or dead leaves falling off, which includes leaves that don’t look dead falling off. One of the best ways to tell how NOT to over water is by, picking up the pot when it is dry and then picking up the pot after you water. (This is a reason why it’s smart to use light pots.) When you water, you want to water just enough to where you see a bit of water coming out of the bottom, not gushing or pouring out. Just enough to see a little bit, then you know the plant has enough water. To prevent over watering you can either: add more perlite to your soil, add hydrogen peroxide to your water for extra oxygen, all the while killing bacteria if any in the soil. After watering, wait a few days to water. Mj plants like a good watering and then a couple days to dry out in between watering. So it’s very easy to over water. Besides the weight of the pot, another way to test if your plant needs water is to stick your index finger a couple inches into the soil. If the soil at the tip of your finger feels almost dry, then it's time to water again. The top of the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings if it's still moist the plant does NOT need watered. You can also use a moisture meter which will tell you the level of moisture down in the soil. You can buy them at most garden supplies or hydro shops.
Here is a picture of what over watering looks like:

There are pics in that thread...

Under Watering

Under watering can show the exact same symptoms as over watering can, they show the droopiness along with the top soil being hard. To avoid this make sure every other other watering you give your plants a good watering, like use a bit more water then you normally do, because sometimes your plants will need a good quenching once in a while. So doing this will help the bottom roots and root hairs get enough water to produce newer growth. For new growers they tend to do both over watering and under watering.
More over watering then anything else, they tend to be to "generous", and then you have ones that are to afraid to water them to much and then they get the under watering symptom. Under watering seems to droop more than over watering does, the fan leaves will droop closer to the stalk and won't be as yellow as over watering looks like, under watering looks like this picture below, only way to stop under watering is to water when the pot feels lite. Make sure few drips of water come out at the bottom of the holes, that way you know the plant has enough water.

There is also a lot of other useful information in that thread not just watering... Things to look out for in your garden... so happy reading!


.....ohhh and...
You may want to check out other casey grows to see how much they stretch in particular conditions... just copy casey jones in the the search button and you can read about that too....

Good Luck with your grow and any more Q's are welcome..

Thank you Ms Head! I somehow knew that one of the heads would answer

I already checked alreday checked all the casey threads, thank you for the advice!

Its just really really hard to find anything on watering on the nets...
From my understanding there is no formula as there are too many factors concerning this. Im really exited for Your casey and hoping for a nice Thai sativa pheno (sour thai woulndt that be sweet :

Anyway thanks again really appriciate all you do for the community

What you should know is any plants you intend on growing indoors requires you to do research... much depends on your method and environment you plan on providing for your plants...

Ok H3ads up
Today is seeds cracking day for me :P
So here are my next to questions:
As Casey is supposed to be somewhat nute sensitive, would nutes in every watering be to much?
ANd secondly is it possible to take clones with out hormones (I do have Hesis root stimulator tho)?

Proper watering is easy...
Use coco.
Water often, at least once per day, with a tiny bit of runoff.

Check out the coco thread in my sig for more coco info...
