Just wondering, I am soil grower...

Everybody says soil must dry between watering so roots are not sitting in water. But in hydro, they're in water all their lifecycle. Where's catch?
 
I don't know I have watched a seminar on one of the top Canadian Growers and he said there's no way you can over water a marijuana plant as long as your soil is amended right and draining properly there's no way to over water a marijuana plant in his opinion now if you don't have any holes in your pot or very few holes and it just hold water of course you're going to get root rot and other problems I think all that s*** came from a bunch of jackasses they don't know what they're talking about
 
I mean you don't want to sit there and pour gallons of water all day long down to the damn pot but normal feedings once a day or every other day nothing wrong with that
 
Are used Pro mix so I water once a day and feed once a day

And all I do is incorporate everything from all the different feeding schedules I check Skunk Labs incorporate their complete assist with my general feeding schedule in my growth science nutrients I used 3 milliliters of cali maji per gallon and half a teaspoon of Epsom salt per gallon every feeding
 
Autoflowers are only fed quarter strength nutrients on my suggested feeding schedule chart I start my regular 12 + 12 at half strength I keep my PPM is really really low I never go over 1600 at late bloom I'll stay in the 900 in veg no need to run your plants any higher then you take a risk of a boo boo and I don't like boobs I like dense sugary buds no hair pulling involved lol
