Thanks!! When I transplanted my little ones into the auto-pots I did a full water/feed with about 2L also. Thank god I only have to do a few hand waterings until the auto system gets turned on..hopefully I cant do TO much damage
After your transplant and first drench do you hand top water or hand bottom water (in the pot base)? I caught a little something on one of hans grows where he said something like "last bottom feed until auto pots go on"?? I'm wondering if it would be good to get the ladies used to having their feed come from the bottom a few times before the pots go on.
Also 2stoned2care has a grow where he doesnt water/feed again after initial pot drench for about 10 days! wow. Yes, I have an issue with overwatering, hence the reason I bought the autopot system :smoking:
Sorry so many questions, I dont want to hyjack your thread hon, please let me know if I am....I am just SOOO into growing, and the only way to learn is to ask and share, yes? LOL......
First of all, you ain't hijacking nothing, love having some activity in the thread, especially if it's grow-related. So, just keep droping questions, we're both learning that way .
Second, every watering was from the top. The logic behind this is that the roots haven't still set in the whole pots and it will be easier for them to drink. However, you could say that if you bottom feed you're making the roots "search" for the water and they will establish themselves in the pots quicker . For now, I'm sticking with hand watering them from the top, haven't had any problems with that and the plants seemed fine .
It seems to me that coco holds moisture longer than soil and that you can go "more" days without watering (depends on conditions, of course).
