    Default question about watering

    my plants are 38 days old and been in flower past few days have only been given them about 2l of water per watering since I started and they are in 15l pots and starting to show signs of under water I have just gave them 4.5l of water and just need to know what to do with the run off as there is 1.1l of it, shall I just pour away or can I put back through the pots as I I still don't think 3.4l is enough in such a large pot but I also got told they may be a build up on nutes in the soil as I haven't been watering the soil enough so don't really no what to do with it, shall I throw away and give another 2l of fresh water ??

    I gave 2 ltrs every 2 days when using 13.5 ltr pots. So i would imagine 3 should be good.

    Punctuation helps as well

    I’ve grown in 16L pot before and was giving 3L each at a time.
    I’m under the impression that you don’t want loads of run off in soil unless you are flushing. Just a dribble of run off.

    Also I use a watering can and give 250ml then spin the pot, wait a few moments and give another 250ml and repeat until I’ve given a litre then repeat this on all the plants. Then go back around doing the same until they have all had 2L, then again.

    At the moment I’m in 12L pots and mine are going through about 1L a day. I’m giving 2L every 2 days

    the amount of water they drink depends on how big the plant/root mass is
    if you have been watering correctly wet/dry cycle through out they should drink plenty

    im in 6.5lt giving almost 2lt every other day, that will be changed soon to 2 smaller waterings a day vs one large soaking to slight runoff

    You don’t want run off with organic nuits mate, if you’re using salt based nuits, you still want run off to push the older shit out
