New Grower Finally after 5 year of waiting, decided it's time for a new Grow.

Hi Bob, thanks mate.
Yes 10L pot, about 3.5 litres to run off.
I'll mix up that for the next time I water.
I should be able to use a hand pump sprayer with a narrow spray angle and low pressure, as this will be a slow watering?
Like it's raining gently

Never used a air hose.

Hello alll,
well I added @Bob's Auto's tonic to the Ravenberry last night so here's hoping it does her the world of good.
Watered 4 litres of the solution slowly and had 400 ml run off
Took another handful of leaves off her to open her up.

This is a couple of pictures of the Ravenberry before Bob's Biotabs tonic.

The above were taken a few days ago, just wanted a reference point.
And here's a picture of the tent today, light off, flash on.

Got a question for everyone/anyone, is it better to wait to water the whole pot or is it better to water a little bit often?
This is mainly for flowering plants.
Thanks

I’ve had more success watering with small amounts more often. It works well with living soil because the top of the soil needs to stay wet.

But i’ve also heard that having a dry back period When you’re growing in some thing like Coco is good. I suppose it depends on your medium.

Thanks for the input guys, I'm in soil using biotabs organic water only method.
I was thinking either way was ok as long as they got watered when needed.
Not sure now

By lifting the pot and judging if it's rather heavy or rather light, I find this method really accurate.
The attitude of the plants will also give you a good indication.
In any case I wouldn't soak the pot with water to run off, at the risk of losing the good stuff.
Just my two cents (d'euros)
