Cannabis hates wet feet. Overwatering kills more seedlings than every pest combined.

Over- vs under-watering
Overwatered
  • Droopy leaves with curled tips
  • Yellowing lower leaves
  • Pots stay heavy for days
  • Slow growth, root rot risk
Underwatered
  • Droopy leaves that perk up after a drink
  • Crispy edges
  • Pots feel light
  • Recovers fast — less dangerous
  1. 1
    Water until 10–20% runoff
    Soak the whole pot, not just the top inch.
  2. 2
    Wait for the pot to get light
    Often 2–4 days indoor, 1–2 days outdoor.
  3. 3
    Water again
    Wet/dry cycle drives root growth.
