I hope your right, I really do because if it is the one he is thinking it is, you wouldn't believe the filth that was used to attack people. I mean, you definitely wouldn't want your kids reading the stuff. But in any event, may be you are right. Let's give everyone the respect they deserve until they give us a reason not to.

you shouldnt water with a schedule. water your plants, until you get some good runoff. lift them. feel how heavy they are. then let them dry out, lift them again. they should be alot lighter. this is when you need to water. as your plant grows, it will take in more and more water, making it so you need to water more and more.

That's exactly how I do it too brother. As you gain experience you'll learn pretty much when they need water after a while.:weed:

ya, you get to where you dont even need to pick them up. you just know that they want water. when you learn how to read what the plant wants, they will THRIVE and yield very well.

How do you know how much to water it if its in the ground and cant lift a pot..... I'm watering a 5-6 week vegging plant about 5 ltrs a week..... I have 3 bottles upside down with water spikes (the apparently release the water alot slower) and have also placed those water crystal which absorb the water for slower release as I can only get to it once a week..... thoughts?

wait until you see some leaves and some stem drooping, a sign of underwatering, but not the whole plant,just a little bit of the plant. then water.

What do you guys think of the water olants or of the water crystals that people talk about? It would seem to me that it would make water even more confusing, what do you think?

I used to use the water crystals when I did guerilla grows. It was great for that. Not sure about growing in containers, indoors. If you are looking for something to retain more water you could try some vermiculite or some more peat moss in your soil mix. You could even give the crystals a try on 1 plant and see if you like using them. :weed:
