Barely needing water

[steelersfan]

Has anyone had plants go through a cycle where they barely needed water for 3 or more days? The girl is flowering at around 5 weeks and looking great but has stopped needed water recently, should that worry me?

i've had soils that took two weeks to dry.... it all depends. most of my outdoor plants only get watered when it rains, the other outdoors get watered when they wilt....

it depends on the soil mix, plant itself and its strain for the plant side. on the other side stays in addition the grow room itself too. a grow with strong ventilation and lights needs far more water for example.

I have had the same thing happen with hydro. Some days they don't drink so much, some days they drink a TON. It does seem odd at 5 weeks of flowering, but I am kind of going through the same phenomenon at 4 weeks. I haven't had to top up my resevoir all week.

Isn't it preferred to water MORE QUANTITY, but with LESS FREQUENCY? I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen some suggestions that way.

Thanks for all the advice, I'll keep my eye on it. Recently I began adding the molasses, maybe that had something too do with it.
