water to the soil is wet 2 inches deep . if shes in the ground I would feed her 5 gallons of water that's me . more water the better right before she gets over watered . its in the ground so we don't know what kind of dirt it is . rule of thumb or fingers lol you should put your finger in and if its no wet 2 inches deep its time to water . or not wet should be damp from the water .

do you ph all that water budley ? water here out of the hose is 8.0 steady . and a lot of bleach in the water can taste that nasty stuff but we drink it . drinking higher ph water is healthy but all the bleach taste in it im sure is killing us slowly .

No I don't, it's well water but lately I've been using my lake water due the drought :(. My well water is 7 @ .2 EC and the girls love it, they don't seem to like the lake water as much but still grow well with no issues

I bet the EC of that lake water is off the scale!
I'll let you know lol, never checked it and been here a very long time :). Used it for the swamp grows for years :). I noticed the difference when I moved indoors for soil grows and plants did better in the well. The lake is spring fed so yup probably

If there in the ground really all you need to do is water them every few days when they need it .... How many people use a meter in there veggy garden? But yes your right it couldn't hurt, just seems a little anal is all. Hell u got to mine yesterday and they were all droppy and it was a horrible sight lol. Watered them and within an hour they were all prayin at the sun :).

They are looking at you :). And yes I could filter the water with RO but it's not needed really. When I say they don't like it as much well they still like it just not as much. Outdoors doesn't effect them really it's inside where i notice the difference. I use the well for the hydro res.
