my plant is 6weeks into flowering will it be ok for 3 days without water? i feed her friday and i cant feed her again till tomoro do u guys reckon she will be ok??

im using an 11L pot
 
yea you will be fine then bro they take up less water in flowering i water every 4 days in the same size pots
 
I would think you should have that figured out by now. I have had some indicas that will suck a 5 gal pot dry in a little over 2 days and others that can go almost 4 days. By the time I am 6 wks into flower I know my plants so well that I know how much time I can spend away from them.
 
yea mine wouldnt be able to do that .. well they would .. but I would also expect some droopy plants and maybe some yellow bottom leaves ..

I need to water atlest evry seccon day .. ok I got a littel high temps (82-84F or so .. as summer hit us)
but still .. got em in 7 gallon pots and they are thirsty .. and hungry ..

5 week in to flowering and mine use a lot more water now then in veg .. but agin .. also got high temps now ..and a HPS insted of T5s

if it was me I would mostlikely raise the lights a bit and maybe see if I could lower tems a bit (give em some "cloudy" days)
and water good of course .. slowely and give em a littel extra a hour later .. can easily hold a bit more if you do it that way/slow .. soake the soil a bit ..
 
just get a bottle poke a small hole in bottom let the water just drip out that will help with the watering
 
sounds like you are just looking for some reassurance since you cant get to them until tomorrow.

how often were you watering before?
is your ventilation running and or circ fan?
whats the temp and humidity there?

finally my humidity has went down so i am expecting to have to water today. in 3 gal pots

if there is no way for someone else to check them, then its up to the plants to hang on till you get there.

good luck and let us know how you make out.
 
yes...it is better to let plants in flower dry out, because THC is also produced to help the plant survive drought...I let all my plants get really really really dry before I water them in flowering...and when I water I use a little Pro-Tekt silica...which is also supposed to help with drought...blah blah blah...these are a plant that can easily survive drought...they are designed to do just that...
 
water every 4 days no vent or circ when lights are off cause shes in the attic and temps would get to cold and the temps are 25-29 lights on and maybe 15-17 light off
 
just get a bottle poke a small hole in bottom let the water just drip out that will help with the watering

When I go on vacation I take a one liter bottle fill with wather and turn upside down and jam in the soil. They make something for this and sell it at lowes but the bottle works just fine
