???how about a self watering systm???
hi yelram
yeah drip watering and feeding is quite easy mate, just use a large water container, suspend it high enough above the plant, use a i.v. drip the same that you get in a hospital for drugs to be put into your veins, and just adjust the flow via the control valve, you can ajust the flow rate down to a tiny amount an hour, or as much as you need, just make sure that the end of the pipe line is buried deep amongst the roots or it will evaperate before it gets chance to do its job, its best to dig a good deep hole before you plant like this so the roots get a chance to go deep before the water runs out, once the roots have established and are deep enough they will find any moisture that is present in the earth, cannabis roots in the right conditions can grow as deep as the plant is tall, you can buy water retaining crystals, these are mixed up around in the earth, when these get wet they will expand greatly and hold water, i dont use these in my potted stuff as they will also hold nutes that i feed , and it can make it easy to over feed, but they give young plants a great start if your growing wild,
best of luck ........... peace ............. happy ...................
