When do you water/feed in soil ?

Post by Greenfingers »

Good day all, what your thoughts on feeding/water in soil during lights off ?
Some believe it can cause more rot or mold issues as it up's RH in your tent/room.

whats your thoughts ?

I have watered in soil just before lights on quite often and/or just before lights off. I had no problems with mould etc..

It's a bit of an art watering soil, everybody seems to have their own way?

I water at lights on, 7am.

I get to do my morning yoga stretching stuff at the same time too... Ready for a hard day at the coal face.

They photosynthesise during the day, so it makes sense to give them a hearty breakfast for the task ahead.

They still uptake food at night though, they're always uptaking fluids... osmosis.

We are all osmosis machines in the universe. Finding a balance and excreting our fluids.

My watering starts around 1hr 40mins after lights on. I agree with Chad it can causes more issues.
