watering**
An example of a normal watering would be
130 ounces of water to a plant kept at 78 degrees... in a 3 gallon pot with a 70% soil, 30% perlite mix..
for a 45 day old plant..
Now there may be a lot of variance to this.. BUT... 7 ounces... NO WAY..
lol - this is not to say that you can't grow a healyth successful plant watering it 7 ounces a day.. but "they" say the way to water is "flood and DRY"..
water you plant with a shit load of water.. and then let the soil dry... then water again with a shit load of water and then let dry.... and so on..
this allows the roots to comfortably use the entire pot for its roots....
when the top2-3 inches of a 3-5 gallon pot are dry. thats when you water...
you can also tell caus eth pot will get real light... you don't want to wait until the leaves droop! yikes
hope this helped
love the KNOWM
