All,
I have a quick question on watering/feeding. I have several grows under my belt; all of which I ended up needing to either feed or water twice a week. Plant's would generally dry out in 3 days. This was when I grew in a basement scenario that was <30% humidity. I have changed setups, making things a lot smaller in a 4x4 tent. My humidity is about 40%. I have 6 plants 4 are using 5gl felt pots and 2 are in 3gl plastic grow bags.. they are not right next to one another.. about 4 inches between each but it is a bit crowded. I have 6'' vortex pulling air out into my crawl space and passive intake at bottom of tent right next to my dehumidifier. Temps are perfect.. lights on 75-79 lights off 65-70.
The problem I am facing now is for some reason I only need to water/feed once per week. My plants are not drinking as much liquid as normal. The thing is.. they look fantastic. Everything is going just as good as previous times.. only less water/food. Same amount of veg time as before. Same soil.. just different strains. I did the math and if things continue I will be providing them 50% less food/water in an 9 week period than before.
My questions are.. is this a bad thing? Any ideas? Should I expect less?
Thanks for any advice,
