I've got a few two-footers in organic / perlite in 3G pots.

I just set up a timed drip irrigation system to feed them, as I'm out of town for a week at a time.

Q: I know how much water these plants need, but I generally watered them about every two days. Would it be better to set the drip to:

A: water once per two days
B: water once every day
C: water once every twelve hours

Keep in mind each recipe will be giving the same average daily water. I'm currently on option C, which is apparently working fine, but I'm just curious if there's any reason to not constantly feed. Local hydro shop sez at least daily.

word.

option C would be my choice also...... just remember the bigger they are the more watter they nead... you may want to consider movin it to every 6 hours or so depending on how fast the drip is and how concentraded your chems are

yeah at the moment the pump is a bit overkill, and my timer runs from 8:00-8:01 AM and PM, so I'm limited for now on how often it can run.

for anyone interested. i just returned today to find that watering 8:00-8:01AM 7 days and 8:00-8:01 MWF seemed to make a few girls very very happy.
