But with just 1L its doesn't even wet the entire top surface...if I only put that much, then what happens down low? That'll create a dry pocket or since the top is so much more wet..roots will grow at the top. It takes the full 2L in with very little runoff...drops mostly.
So I moved the little heater to the floor and covered the little openings of the hut for overnight...since lights come on at 5am and I wake today at 10:30am..they had 5 hours in a more sealed area than usual since I don't block the little openings before..but I wanted the heat from the heater to stay in without having the heater go non-stop. I got up and checked..temps above the lights were 30c but humidity was down to 40% instead of the 50-52 it has been the last 3 days (they usually get up to 50% if temps are at or below 25c during the day). I see the easy bud is perking up. After watering last week it was ok..but 3 days later..that one mainly, the leaves closer to the top all droop heavily. Today they finally stood back up to be close to even with the ground lol. Even moneymaker..has been looking a little weak compared how it was 2 weeks ago..but I notice that one too the leaves have shown rigidness. Im guessing at 50% humidity and not enough power from my lights to neither heat the soil to cause evaporation or make the plants grow fast to drink more, also, the long, stretched out stems on the two flowering, seems maybe the 50% humidity was the tipping point where they don't need as much water from the soil and take it from the air instead..so I lose that pressure in the stem to keep leaves upright at the top? Im watering today as its dry now..i also poked 4 holes about 6 inches down in each pot with a thicker chopstick yesterday to help with the drying and air to the roots.
