Plants hardly using any water. 6 weeks flower

  1. During the beginning of flowering I was watering every 4 days. Now they are in their 6th week, and on the 4th day the soil is pretty wet like I just watered the day before. Ph is around 6.5, and they have been looking pretty good, just losing leaves like normal during the end of flower. Temps 75-78 under fluorescents. Humidy 50%
    Trichromes - 80% cloudy No amber
     
  2. Is is straight soil? Or do you have added perlite? For good drainage you need some other medium mixed in with your soil--this also helps some air get into the soil and to the roots when the soil is dry. I wouldn't fuck with the plant since it is so late in flowering, but on your next grow make sure to mix a good amount of perlite so you don't run into drainage problems which can slow growth.
     
  3. he's right, next time make sure you have enough perlite and/or vermiculite mixed into your soil (so it doesn't get over wet and clumpy like mud).

    is the plant losing a lot of leaves???

    because if so i have read this can affect the "hydrostatic pressure"

    i'm not a physicist though, so just throwin that out there
     
  4. It sounds reasonable, less leaves, less transpiration (i think that is the word):smoking:
