I find that letting roughly half the water weight evap keeps em pretty happy soo far my self my large one was @ over .5" of vertical growth day haven't measured that with the others but they seem to be @ the same rate that plant was @ 2 weeks ago and i haven't fed them anything for a cpl weeks besides bone meal i had on hand and this cal i amended my dirt with .

Looks like a handy bottle of cal you have there , I use a lot of crab meal , fine and coarse the coarse is more for drainage my soil is soilless coco and peat based so maybe letting 50% dry is better
>...............................................................

I am now starting to think to continue the double end watering as so far its worked better , th plants are big they are a good shade of green , , they will be bottom watered top fed i am thinking
 
scallop sugar super food for microbes , adhd microbes will love this , it would send me into hyper mode lol

scallops soaked with sugar for about a week , added some rain water today , shook like mad , sieved into a pot , boiled , stirred as it got thicker , reduced right down , sieved again , will bottle up and use some next feed, hopefully will help with flowering stage , its great mixing a chef with the gardening , i shall serve it to them on a silver tray, might as well be a waiter too :laugh: i just need a couple of violin players , hands up who can play the violin :ciao: i cant :Rasta:

well these 7 gallon pots do feel heavy even when dryer , i put it in for a bottom watering and the medium took 5 litres in 15 mins , i then added a litre to the top

the seaweed, and comfrey smoothie i made yesterday looks awesome :cheesygrinsmiley: its already really black and looks to be a nice feed

Hey Nutty, I've been re evaluating my watering techniques and have thought like you that keeping an extreme dry/wet cycle is to combat fungus gnats more than anything else. I believe there is a "just right" amount and frequency more so though in veg. Just not so severe. I've sickened a few by drying em out too much. Gotta find the balance.

I think finding the best humidity to match the watering is a big key also . having a good steady environment, ive chopped and changed a bit in this grow , i need to focus on that balance , i have a dehumidifier going and an exhaust trying to get the plants to sweat more so they use it up , organic keeps you on your toes ill tell you that for nothing lol
its fine tuning and sticking to it is the goal :ganjamon:

no worries , if you find somewhere , with good trees a little forest , look for the best looking trees and collect some of the broken down leaves , this is where you get the best microbes for free , i got my microbes from 3 /4 different areas to give me a bigger diversity :)
