Fabric pots and watering

[ImDrMonkey]

Do fabric pots increase the amount/frequency of watering? I’m thinking it does? My girls are in flower, I feel I can water them every day instead of letting them wait a day or so…. Anyone?

In coco,yes in soil twice a week is plenty. You wanna let em dry out a little for a breath of air in between watering's

Even with my fan pointed basically at my pots? I use a box fan in a spare room to circulate air.

I believe they do dry out quicker than regular pots (not a bad thing). I water smaller amounts but daily and give them a large plain watering once a week but I think I am in the minority. If I were growing in soil instead of coco I would water less frequently.

It's good to dry out

A simple tool I use to know 'when' to water is to pick up the plant.
In a 3 or 5 gallon bag, the weight of water used will be quite noticeable from saturated to dry.

Fabric pots dry out quiker because they can breathe.

That’s the point of a fabric pot. Better air to the roots

george66 can i ask what strain of dwarf auto your growing?

 

[ImDrMonkey]

I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t crazy. I water about 3 times a week. I use the pick up the pot method. Thanks everyone. I didn’t want to hurt my yield.
