Hello all,
I wanted to see what the thoughts were on watering this plant of mine.
Specs:
- Medium is KokoBop (by Fox Farms) amended with various dry organics…..too dressed periodically. 10 gallon pot
- strain is White Truffle x Okie, photoperiod grown from seed.
- Lights are 2 HLG LEDs, 470W total
-Space is a 2’x6’ closet w/ 8’ ceiling.
- Temps and humidity are fairly dialed in. Staying in a range of 77-80F & 48-52%rh (lights on) and 70-72F & 45-47%rh (lights off).
- Plant is on day 19 since flipping.
It’s not my first rodeo, I have several dozen runs under my belt and generally I’m in tune with what’s going on.
But I’ve never grown indoors in a pot as large as this…10 gal. I’ve always used 5 gal for the final phase and have gotten used to the watering needs.
My issue is the bottom 1/3rd of the medium is still very moist, while the top 2/3rds is dry enough to need water. The top 3” or so is bone dry.
So, should I give it a light watering, like a gallon or so, to hydrate the top or wait it out a few days until I see the bottom getting drier???
I’ve been giving it about a gal every 4 days, which alleviates the dry top half or so, but the bottom 4-5” never really dries back.
My leaves have those ridges, some call them speed bumps, which I’ve been told is from over watering. Thoughts and advice??
Perhaps the plant would benefit from a total dry back ???
