Default Girls Still Damp After Four Days?
*Sparks a joint*
*puff puff pass*
*exhale*

What'd up people!

Ok just need some quick answer for this weird scenario. Last feeding was four days ago (end of today will be four) and its like about half dry a bit more maybe. Usually I would water them every two days or so. I hope I didnt over water them. My main concern is how much water (ml wise) do I feed each 2 gallon pot? Other then that my girls are great! Also I jst got two Hempstar girls

All them girls are happily chillaxing.


Closer shot of them girls.


Og Kush to your left and Hempstar to your right. Enjoy

I had the same question myself, growing in 2 gallon pot. My not so scientific search found 1 quart of water per gallon of soil, or about 2 liters. It's been working well for me, my waterings have been about once a week. How often is going to depend on soil/temp/humidity so each situation is different. And water slow, that ensures you get a nice penetration and some flushing with each watering.

True said about each situation being different.

2 litres of water and once per week? I guess it works for you because I like to tend to them so I would like to water more frequently. I usually use 1.5 litres and it takes two three days to dry depending on the temperature outside. I even think thats too much water.

All I can do it wait for it to dry....patiently!

AWWWW CRAp...I forgot to plug back in the lights after some tuning and they had 9 hours of sleep. Is that going to affect anything to my girls?

I think I know what the problem is. Its too wet in there. The humidity is at 68% and the soil isnt getting dry. They dry metre says 5 and today is day 5. My girls looks like they need food, light green and a little wilting. I cant feed it when its itnt dry yet! Over water!

I know a dehumidifier can solve the problem but will a small one solve the problem. Because these things are expensive, and I cant find any small ones. Only the huge ones with 350watts!!!! jees

As far as the 9 hour sleep, that might not be a killer. Depends what schedule you had going. Was it 24/0? A timer is a big help, less than $10 for the most economical ones.
Humidity is tougher. Can't think of any cheap way of getting that down. About the only thing that comes to mind is setting up fans to blow at the soil. That might increase the evaporation rate. Actually, it would have to increase the evaporation rate, but not sure if it would be enough to make a difference. That's my best shot at it.

I actually have a timer, it was sleeping time so I unplugged it (stupid me) and plugged something else in and forgot to replug it back in. As for lighting, it is still on a vegging lighting at 18/6 schedule. But now I have this one mess up 9 hour sleep situation that could mess things up or am I being over concerned?

After rearranging them, I am really concern with them not getting the nutrients they need. They are clearly going lighter green (bottom centerish) as the other are flourishing (top row).




They're even starting to have small amounts of brown spots. whats happening? It better not be those Hempstar!




I also think when I mixed my batch it wasnt half and half like i usually do it (perlite and soil). It was only 1/3 of the mixture so this is also why it might retain water for a longer period of time. This would mean I would have to use less water per pot. Damn my girls need food.

The 9 hour sleep isn't great, but probably won't matter much as long it's the only one. Your big problem is the nute/water situation.
At this point, I think you best option is to foliar feed. I don't have experience with it, but I have seen some examples on riu that are miraculous. Maybe someone else can suggest another option.
