The larger plants use more water than small plants but also the size, there are many other variables that dictate water consumption of a plant pate. The age of the plant, the container size, the texture of the soil, temperature, humidity and ventilation are factors that help determine water needs. If any of these variables change, water consumption will also be affected.
Good ventilation is essential to encourage fluids circulate freely and proper breathability and rapid growth. The healthier you are the faster plant growth and increased water consumption.
Small plants with extensive root systems little, which are small sized containers must be watered frequently.
You have to water the ground or inorganic mixtures as soon as the container dry land. Do not go to extremes: Neither let dry lot or re-watering if the soil is still moist. Excess water can be harmful in the early stages drowning plants and slowing growth. Marijuana is not much like soggy soil. A substrate is kept too wet drowning the roots, not make room for oxygen. This causes a slow development, and posibñes fungal attacks.
The flowering marijuana high water use to perform rapid formation of flowers. Reduce water intake slows the formation of inflorescences.
Relationship between wind and cannabis
Marijuana plants are subjected to wind dry much faster. On a hot and windy, the amount of water consumed by the plants that are outdoors, on terraces and in courtyards can be multiplied by three to four times. Use automatic irrigation systems can be of great help.
Techniques such as padding reduces evaporation from the substrate.
Recommended time to water marijuana
It is advisable to water plants early in the day, before the sun squeeze harder. Watering at night may promote the development of hongps and fungal attacks.
Watering pots slowly
Weight ratio of the pot and irrigation water
After a few risks, it is very easy for the farmer to take a reference weight of the pot. Simply pick up the pot and hold newly watered. At the time of watering the pot will have the maximum weight. From that time will lose weight until almost no effort cost us lift (perfect time for the next irrigation).
Excess irrigation of marijuana
Over-watering is a common problem, especially in the early stages of the plants, where hardly drink water. Too much water drowns the roots by cutting off the oxygen supply. Signs indicating over-watering are yellowing leaves and rolled down saturated ground water and soaked, mold growth and slow development. Lso symptoms are subtle and may not appreciate inexperienced growers well.
Contrast between watered pots and unwatered pots
Lack of irrigation of marijuana
It's a minor problem that too, but quite common especially in small pots. Small containers are dry quickly and may require daily watering. If the tender hair roots dry out, they die. In a drought the plants can take time to recover.
