My plants are in 5 gallon buckets indoors. They are growing great, about 15 inches tall in the first week of flower. The thing is, they just never seem to need water. Next time I won't use such a big container--lesson learned. I have a moisture meter that says the bottom 1/4 is still really wet and the rest is really dry. I have not watered at all since they went into these containers 3 weeks ago, and I didn't give it that much when I transplanted. I want to water them so I can mix in their nutrients, but they just never seem to need it. Should I worry about this?

I know some strains probably use less water than others, but ... Mine is AK 47 in a mix of Scott's potting soil, perlite, and mushroom compost. The mix is heavier on perlite near the bottom of the container. I vegged for about a month only watering every 10 days in 1 g pots! When they have taken water, I have added Hygrozyme and Superthrive (for veg).

I want to water my babies!
