to know when to water, just poke your finger 2 inches into soil if its dry then water, to get a feel for it when you water pick up the pot to feel how it weights, then when you go to pick it up againg later & its light, you probally need to water, but usually you would water every 2-3days, & add 3% Hydrogen Peroxide @ 1-2 cap full per gal of water to add extra o2 to the roots & help prevent root rot from overwatering.
Hey thanks. FYI i'm going to be growing Big Bud. Could i clone a few and let them Veg for a week then have them flower for 2 weeks and then harvest for small amount of Weed Or would that not give the plant enough time to produce THC?
Or could i possibly do a 6/18 instead of a 12/12 for flowering to rush it a bit more?
When i water should i mist as first with something like an old Windex bottle until it becomes stronger Or should i do that throughout the plants entire life or...?
Whatever you suggest You've got the experience not me.
