The size of the pot has little to do with this... nor the exact amount you are using. Whether a quart or a liter, just go slowly and break your watering into chunks so the soil is forced to migrate around. Later in flower, or as you stated later, all through the plants life, my method of watering changes a bit in order to take advantage of the mature roots. The early methods designed to migrate soil around while developing the rootball do not provide as much benefit because the roots have already grown into their mature size and at that stage the point of watering becomes a matter of efficiently using the roots that you took the time and effort to develop using these techniques in veg, to get the most water and nutes into the plant as possible.Yes I was referring to that... apologies. So with a 11 litre pots... would I use a bit less for example...
A quart to wet the surface of the medium first, instead of two rounds.
Then a quart at a time around the edges until a bit of run off.
Then a quart on the original root ball. Does it make sense to water this later in flower ??!
Your technique makes total sense... do you have a YouTube video on this... there's nothing like this on there.
Thank you for taking your time out to reply, much appreciated
Also to add can this style of method be used through out plants life... obviously the amount of water will differ due to what stage the plant is at. Thanks again
No, I don't do YouTube for several reasons, the first being security and the second being that I have been steadily going deaf since my early 20s, and by now I have lost most of my hearing as well as my ability to speak clearly, and I just don't feel comfortable any more in front of crowds or the camera.
