As much as it is a basic process of cannabis cultivation, it is a fundamental part and must be done correctly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We would love to be able to tell you exactly when to water the plants and how much water to give them, but it is very relative to our crop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marijuana plants are mainly composed of water, up to 80 or 90% is H20, which means that they are very dependent on watering to perform all their functions, such as photosynthesis. Therefore, if a cannabis plant is not watered frequently, it will wilt and die very quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get a general idea of how much water to give your plants, a survey of professional growers found that the average water requirement for a plant is 4.5 liters per 500 grams of post-harvest buds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it is the first time you grow a strain, it is difficult to know how much your plant will yield once harvested. In these cases, the ideal is to monitor the plant day by day and see how it evolves, but in addition to this we leave you some data that will surely help you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distintas_etapas_de_nuestra_planta\"><\/span>Different stages of our plant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first weeks of the plant, we recommend using a sprayer to water, so that we avoid bending the stem or branches in this delicate stage of the plant. Ideally, spray 2 to 3 times per day and always wait until the plant has absorbed the water before spraying again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, once the plant is an adult, switch to watering and do it whenever you notice the substrate or the soil is dry. If the first 3 cm of soil is dry, it means it is time to water it. By following this rule you will most likely find yourself watering your plants once a day or once every few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another point to take into account is the soil we are using. A denser soil will retain moisture longer and will require less watering than a lighter soil, for example. It is also important that if the plant is in a container, such as a pot, it should have holes in the bottom to drain excess water and thus prevent the formation of pests and fungi due to excess moisture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good way to know if the water you pour on the plant drains well or not, is to notice how long it takes the soil to absorb the water you pour on it. If after 3 or 4 minutes there is still water or if after 3 days without watering you notice the soil is wet, it means that it is not draining well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often the effects of lack or excess of water appear several days later, so it is always good to be attentive to these details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El_tamano_importa%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Size matters...<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important point in determining how much water to give your plant is the size of the pot. Ideally, start with a small pot and change pots as the plant grows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pot that is too large in the first few weeks can lead to the plant drowning. On the other hand, a pot that is too small for an adult plant leaves it with no room for its roots to grow and can cause them to knot and tangle, which is detrimental to the growth of our plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the last tip of today's note is the following: when it comes to cannabis, it is always better to underwater it than to overwater it. If it lacks a little water, the plant will recover quickly once we give it, but if we are giving it too much water it will kill the plant little by little.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you...
