Just went up and watered mine again. The droop wasn't as bad as before I upped the watering from 18 litre to 27.
Used the meter and it said it was dry, although the probe is only 8 inchs long and my holes are 18-20 inchs deep so fuck knows if it was dry right at the bottom.

If the probe is 8" down likely its dry down there as well. General rule of thumb is, if top 2 inches dry, time for water.....
Mother fucks, these big bitches are such high maintenance hahaha.
Indeed, but at the cost of my poor back haha. Allg though, i just want some bud.Its good they are eating, the bigger they get
"When the soil becomes too dry, the plant wilts. Plant cells are kept rigid by the pressure of their cell contents, which are mostly water. With the water gone, they collapse. First the bottom leaves droop, and the condition quickly works its way up the plant until the top lops over"Its good they are eating, the bigger they get

Maybe I'm not underwatering? Because the bottoms leaves are fine, just the tops are a little flimzy.

That is why I do more plants, and let them get by on their own, kind of. This Spring crop I'm doing now get more attention than normal. I take food and water once a week. Five gallons of water for each patch.
Indeed, just want to get it right for them as they are beginning to flower

I love the fact that i have a 3000l tank of fresh water 5 metres away from my plants lol
Ive only bucketed the water previously but this season i ran a hose to the sour kush hole and fuck me its worked wonders
If it was more out in the direct sun with no restrictions id guess she would pull close to 2.5/3 lb

I havent watered mine for over two- three weeks....We have been getting good rain like once a week and its not been to hot at all.
I use a watering meter gauge thing for pots but not in the ground. The tap root would be down way deep.
I
I've had no rain my way :/

Water guage would evaporate correct me if im wrong ?
Yeah the tap roots would be a fair way down but these water meters have a 30cm spike to drive down and as vnsmkr stated before if the soil is dry 2 inches under it means dry enough to water...i generally go by say 4-5 inches
I guess the way i think it is i dont want a "pause" in watering wet/dry in other words if the very bottom of roots is wet but 8 inches above are dry i want to water asap so the tap root gets a continous drink without pause and without flooding it to much so it just sits there...
Hope this makes some sense
I also water around my biggest plant in different areas each time and a fair way away from the stalk so as to encourage root growth as wide as possible
These methods are working for me this year very well

Dont get me wrong guys. im not arguing with anybody. Just letting you know what im doing. Ive had the droopy tips in pots before and it was due to over watering. Which is why i got a water probe thing- fantastic for pots.
Also keep in mind that ive got kitty litter in my holes as well. Diff strokes for diff folks and all that jazz.
Cannabis doesnt need allot of water. Berries use a hell of allot more and as well all know over watering can be a huge problem with growing.
