Frequent Watering vs. Once Daily: HUGE Difference - Growing in Coco Coir - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

NPK · 04-15-2007, 10:07 PM

So, I recently put ten Shit seedlings in my veg space. I only had nine one-gallon pots, though, so the tenth stayed in its 4x4 pot--too small for a dedicated feed line. I've been hand-watering that one for the time the plants have been vegging (about ten days).

These plants started out the same size, but they sure didn't stay that way:

No doubt about it: frequent watering is extremely effective!

Nice!!! I'm switching from hand to drip watering after harvest and was wondering about this. Nice to confirm what I was already thinking.

Ya gonna keep the thread going throughout the grow? If so I'm getting a front row seat.

I agree coco will take freq waterings and shine.... should try a clone side by side

I might have to try and see for my own self. Not doubting you. I like hands on experience. Good comparison.

Yeah guys, it's been an eye-opener. The are eight other larger plants that also testify to the effectiveness of more frequent waterings. Granted, they also had more root space to spread out in, but I still think the more frequent watering speaks for itself! It can surely shave several days off one's veg time.

Mojo, my little ole outdoor thread is enough to keep me busy here; this is more of a quick "check it out."

two things the plant is def bigger lol but the internodes dont look as tight... maybe watering has an effect on stretch and finding the right water pattern is the key to getting good size and tight nodes.
