Any tips on getting soil to dry?
Hi all, this is my 4th grow and this time around I decided to not be as easy on the nutes and watering. I have had no problems in the past, but feel I have only got to use little amounts of nutrients. I want more density and just better bud in general.
This time I transplanted after 3 weeks into a 4-5 gallon square container. I gave it 1 gallon of water w/ 1tsp of Grow Big. No burns or anything, but it has been 8 days and the soil below the surface is still wet. The plant is growing great, but since it is an autoflower I have even less time to give nutrients. At this rate I will only be able to water it 5 more times (2 of the 5 should be flushing). I had 5 - 3/8" drainage holes in the bottom, but today I put about 20 more 1/8" holes around the side near the bottom. My last plant I watered too soon and it developed a mold, but that was taken care of with peroxide and water. Still don't want that to happen again.
The humidity is about 30% and temps range from 75-84 degrees. HPS 150watt. Intake and outtake fan, plus one inside to move air around.
I would still like to give it gravity (3 weeks after beginning blooom?) Also would like to give molasses, snowstorm & Big Bloom. Is it okay to mix all these items together (less strength on Big Bloom)?
