[migreen]

my indoor grow room is 3'x2.5'x5'tall five 2 gallons pots, temp is 80 to 82 degrees, plant look real good except they will start to wilt after 1 1/2 days after watering. re water and they are fine again. does this sound right, i was thinking i am watering to much but they seem to need it, plant are about 1 ft tall and bushy...thanx migreen

a lot depends on Room Humidity to determine how much water there transpirating.

 

Make sure you water until you see some run off under the pot. After you water pick up the pot and take a mental check of its weight. Later you can pick up the pot and try to judge how much water it used based on how much weight was lost.

 

1 1/2 days does seem to be pretty often, are you in something like hempy buckets or soil?

I agree 100%

 

Watering becomes second nature soon, and you will feel with weight.

 

and don't sweat it. as long as you have airy medium you will not kill. i like to mist with a fine spray it's like a tropical rain and I feel confident the plants have H20..

 

keep it up bro. Gardening is an adventure, and it is an addictive passion.

Um hmm and your reading your plants need by watching for the drooping leaves good job.

I would really watch out about letting your plants leafs droop to often...its a bit of an unneeded stress factor, and I have caused hermi's due to poor watering habits.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh the early days.....lol
