What should I consider to determine over watering or underwatering
When I made beer I had a more hardy guy then I tell me about making my own malt and that is what I did.
I first tried in a shallow plastic tote, no air moldy rot I learned to turn them but it took a while before I knew to do it often enough and light enough to not knock off to many shoots. Shallow layers in a dark space with a cloth to stop shit falling on the grain, not preventable just manageable. Eventually I could sprout half a bussel of grain and not a smell of mold just all green sweets. While learning this I also had to learn less water the better they need air.
I found the thing being the grain and root had enough water in it, just needs enough to make things dry but living you know? The grain will use its starches, water and enzymes to make sugar and in turn cellulose (less dense starch?). Being the root until it forms the leaves and begins to photosynthesize q-1.
Tldr I got to put my brain in the setting or I lose track sorry, has nothing to do with cannabis.
The plant has enough water and the substrate isn't made of salt until you make it like salt, I like to think of the roots being in a damp fog when you stand between 2 tall buildings the air is different from being in the open, dirt is that but much more concentrated. Root hairs catch that fog with air and shit, if the hairs are drenched they aren't as firm and droop, if they are only collecting water droplets they look much better. Can overwatering present itself as a nutrient deficiency depending on substrate or even just the level of overwatering q-2.
q-1 What parts of the plant get cannibalized for its water first?
Smack the fear of underwatering out of my head..
q-2 Can you chronically overwater your plants into a nutrient deficiency without realizing
it sounds funny
