Hey guys, much has been tlaked about watering, eveyone has there own methods and differnet strain eat more/less then others but maybe there is a happy midlle that we can all use as a general guide..

THis is what i do, by all means its not the perfect way as im having my own porblems and am posting to compare my methods to others.

I use 2 gal pots, day1:feed,day2:nuthing, day3:water, day4:nuthing, day5:feed, day6:nuthing, day7:water..........and so on

Veg- start at 100 mls end at 350 mls( size of a can of pop)

Bloom till week 4- 700mls

Bloom week 4-7- start at 700mls cut back to 350 mls

What do you guys do and what do you think of my method?

After reading others posting about watering and overwatering som e question came to mind regarding my set up...my floor is not level so the pallets the pots are on are not level either... when water/feeding is it bad that the water/food only drains to one side of the pot because of this angle? sometimes i cant reach to the other side a pot so i only water/feed 1 side throughout the life of the bloom... is this bad when i water shoudl i be doing a circle around each plant?? and finanlly ive read many ppl say flood your pots until u see water/food coming fromt he bottom holes..isnt this called ovcerwatering???.... i rearley see water/food coming from the bottom of the holes is that bad, but i wonder if the roots towards the bottom of the pots get any food/water then???? but if i were to flood the pots i i would be water/feeding every 7 days or so??? so what is better less feed/water more frequently or more feed/water less freqenlty???

Please ad your thoughts. thanks
 
I feed every other watering, but I give them more water less frequently. I give them half their water or so, wait until they soak it back up, and then give them the rest. Have you tried placing shims under the pallets to try and level them? If you can't get them level, I'd rotate them when watering to make sure all the soil got some moisture.
 
yea im consdiering placing somehting under the pallets to level them off.. just wating to hear from others about my situation and if it would relaly affect the yeild... as right now the foundation creates a natural bolw around the light.. which is great but if all my food/water is only reachin 1 side of the pot then all the roots are going in that direction and posibly hampering my yeilds... please someone confirm or deny this???
