Im having another crack at Royal dwarf cos the last one hermed on me.Touch wood all going good so far,just starting to flower,although this time il be watching it closer than ever.

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.

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

[MagicMike66]

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

Fabric pots dry out quiker because they can breathe.

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?

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.

It's good to dry out

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.

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

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
