  1. Hi guys,
    Im growing my plants in 3 gallons pot under 400 HPS for the frist time and ive read alot about over water them. So, i do like water them every 3 days but i dont know if it is actually too less. How often do you water, just estimate i know it wont be the same for everyone.
    Thanks
     
  2. Quick question, what's the diameter of your 3 gallon pots? Nothing tells me volume when I buy :( But am looking for 3 gallon pots.

    But basically what people suggest is to lift the pot, and feel the weight difference, here's a decent post on it.

  3. That works for most people if you use small pots, but with big 12 inch 2 1/2 gallon pots, it can be hard to tell a water difference when thier young and not taking much.
     
  4. It's 11.5" diameter. I heard somebody water their plants in 3-5 gallons pot every other day. So, im just not sure if ive been watering my plants too less.
    Thanks
