Just a few watering questions

MADbudz · #1 07-04-2008, 10:10 PM

Im planting my clones in the ground tommorow, and im wondering:

1. About how often to water them in the great outdoors?

2. About how much water do you give them at a time? (all the guides I have found have been for pots so i have no idea here)

3. I heard its not good to water them the day you transplant them into the ground, is that true?

4. For the first three weeks I will watering them with just tap water, should I bring fresh tap water every time I water them or is it ok to keep a big bottle of water at my grow spot hidden in a bush for 3 weeks?

5. Same as question 4 but with tap water mixed with miracle gro ferts?

1. When the ground is very dry and cracked.
2.Give them a good amount, you want to saturate them well, dont worry about giving to much water, just about how often.
3.You must water them when you transplant to get all air pockets out of the soil, water till it's muddy.
4. Use fresh water
5. First try not to use miracle grow at all it's horrendous, and mix fresh stuff when ya need to water. Remember to leech with alot of fresh water the last 2 weeks of bud.

Thanks alot bro, but what did you mean by the last sentence. Like when its the last 2 weeks of flowering flush the plant with just fresh water to get rid off all the current nutes? Also do I water the ground around the stalk or the actual plant/leaves too?

yeah he means to flush(leech) with water...what it does is it dillutes your nutes so much that they arent being used and the plant is living kinda natural you might put it....that is done so the bud isnt harsh i believe....also you dont have to do it to the actual plant/leaves just water the soil and yes around the stalk....hope this helps....
