Yeah depending on your conditions ,they can go a hellava long time before they need water -feed, but when they growing good you want to make sure they got plenty now, to keep them growing good, I don't let mine get bone dry. -
Same here OJH. I was just saying in a 3gal with a small plant watered to runoff it takes more than 3 day’s to dry out in my conditions. But I have noticed in the last few weeks they start to drink substantially more as they grow. Also I was topping and bending and all the rest so growth was slow also affecting how much they use I guess. If it wasn’t for you guys here I’d still Be overwatering I think. I would have never let them dry out as much as I am now! Thanks all -
Hey Blue if my girls don't need water on the 4th day, I think something is wrong, as the grow crawls along I increase the amount of water to my girls but just enough for 3 full days .I dont water to run off if something happens and they stop feeding then I flush and that takes care of it -
Pura I think that ok for week 5 of bloom as the plant run out of n the fan leaves are the first to show it and I think thats what it is, I'm in week eight and have some leaves like that to it happens -
Hello PuravidaC, I hope that damage is from overwatering, when did you notice that ?
I remember some of those cfl,grows you did, they turned out nice didn't they. -
Well your post says morning of the 18th so watering on the 14th only gives 15,16,17th without being watered! I want your plants to grow great and strong lol where is Nebula! -
Just filled humidifier and saw this on a couple of lower fan leaves. Is this just damage from overwatering or something else? It can be difficult to compare photos in sick plant tutorials. Autos are in week 5 and diffently flowering.Leave a comment:

No worries, Blue! I appreciate your input. I know I'm splitting hairs but I watered the morning of the 14th and didn't water again until the evening of the 18th, so about 4 1/2 days between watering. I did get a moisture meter and it showed soil "dry" in several areas before I watered on the 18th. Growing autos for the first time and all I have read is don't stress them because of short grow period. Well... 😅 -
Thanks DAAS, this is my first grow with 315 and trying to get everything figured out with new grow space. I have yielded 6 oz per photo plant with CFL grows so my expectations for 315 may have been overly optimistic. Otherwise I'm really pleased with how I can control environment in grow space, if I can just figure out watering these smart pots! -
I have left a plant I thought needed water for days just trying to see it wilt or “ask”for water but in my conditions 17°-20°c night 20°-26°c day and 40-50%rh it didn’t happen. I have a ton of air movement through exhaust fan and a 6” in the tent. Can’t keep RH above 50% even with humidifier. Just trying to give you some insight on my setup and how hard it is for me to underwater. I would almost have to try to underwater. -
According to your posts you watered on the morning of the 14th then again on the morning of the 18th really that’s only 3 days without water. In 3 gal smart pots I often wait longer than that at 45%RH about 18” from a 400w mh. Just saying... I think these girls never dried properly. It will take a lot longer then 3 days for an over watered plant to dry out and recover. I’m no pro but I really think your still overwatering! Just trying to help -
Good Morning PuravidaC, they should be doing fine in a day or two, maybe still rushing a little bit. I would do exactly like you did except I'd raise my 315 to about 22-24 inches away, an then just stay away from looking at them, that's like watching a red tomato get ripe, the more you watch the red tomato, the longer it takes to get ripe.
