hey
Im not sure this is done right.

but

41inch is getting 400ml's of water every other day and its in 4th week of flower. it looks good but drooping some. is this enough water,, does it need more or less

You dont want to water everyday, you need to flood it, then let it dry.. then flood it. I water mine about 1-2 gallons every 3-4 days. Depends on the climate however, mine are outdoors, with alot of sun. But dont water them a little bit everyday. You need the soil to dry out to let the roots get oxygen. So watering a little bit everyday is not good. Just wait till the soil is dry, stick your finger in it about an inch or so, if its moist, then dont water, if its dry, then water. Make sure it is dry though, if its a little bit moist, dont water. Good luck, and grow on : )

I was giving my plants a litttle every day and some times they did good and sometimes they didn't now I know why.

I gave you + rep check. I like it here and don't want to be a trouble maker.

Sorry my problem was the fan was drying out the top of the soil and I thought they needed water. They needed air.

You people are teaching me and for that I Thank you

Make shure you have drain holes in the bottem of the pot you are using! Just a tip

ok lets say that i water it 400ml .. and give it two days without water. and on the third day water it,, will that hurt it?

You can get a moisture meter at walmart or garden center for like $9.00

No catch that will not hurt it, but you cant just stick to that water schedual, becuase certain things will affect how much water they need. If its outdoors, a sunny day is going to take more water then a cloudy day. But once every third day should be a good time, but make sure you still feel the soil to make sure its not moist, if so, then wait another day.
