Pineapple Express & 2 Auto White Widows

@Jaindoh, thanks dude and btw i saw your diaries.. how do you get your stems that strong, mine is puny compared to yours... also how often should i be watering and do you think a gal is enough?

@3percos, I always followed the GrowWeedEasy (corny name but good site) guides, and the watering guide always said to let the top inch dry out (fungus gnats lay their eggs in moist top inch). The roots need to breathe as well. The fabric pots help a lot with that but you only really want the bottom majority of the pot wet with some air getting to the topmost bits of the roots. With one plant I'd be surprised if half a gallon every 3 days wasn't TOO much. Gardeners always say "water infrequently but thoroughly" and I find cannabis in soil no different. As for trunk diameter, I use coco coir which gives a lot more vigor than I got out of bagged soil. Living soil I've seen give really good results like coco but I don't have a compost heap with 200 bux of amendments lol. Training increases stem and branch diameter, as well as supplemental potassium silicate (though this is much less needed in soil). That combined with my strategy of keeping the plant low contribute heavily to their trunk/branch diameter and vigor. Bigger trunks = better water/nutrient flow. Add a healthy root system, good humidity/temperature (so important, affects how plant breathes/wicks moisture from medium), and dense nodes from keeping your lights close, and I get good results.
