Hempy bucket question

Hempy question. Assume week 4 flower.

Assume 5 gallon bucket. Coco and perlite with 2.5" reservoir. Plant drinks like crazy. Feed every three days with runoff.

Bucket light as shit, but medium is slightly damp. Assume reservoir is dry.

Do you water? Damp medium, but dry reservoir. I would worry about dry root tips.

If your res is dry the medium isn't far behind. At week 4 flower, I would think they'd suck that residual moisture out of the medium fairly quickly. I'd water it, and then try to do regular small watering so the res never goes dry.

Thanks for the confirmation. I figured it would be bad to let it go dry, but wasn't sure if top still had moisture.

yup, you want to water them at least every other day, and you want to see at least a little water coming out of your drain hole. doesn't have to gush, but you want a little fresh water to push out some of the old stuff every time

i have an auto feed system for my hempys. once/day in veg, twice/day in bloom. growstones as my medium

if you are using coco, don't let it dry out at all.
