==Under/over watering symptoms==
Under-watering causes leaves to wilt due to a loss in rigidity as there is low moisture content. They will feel very thin as a result. Over-watering causes leaves to wilt due to the weight of excess moisture content. Feeling the texture, thickness, weight, and flexibility of the [[Anatomy of Cannabis#Petiole|petiole]] will help you determine if the plant is over or under watered.

== pH ==
The ideal pH of the water applied should be between 6.2 and 6.7. Note to also measure pH after adding nutrients to the water. If it's too high for too low, the nutrient intake will be blocked. This is an especially important rule to observe when using nutrient formulas as to not waste them! It's important to note that pH is a logarithmic scale, meaning that 6 pH is 10 times more acidic than 7 pH.
