Thanks for your reply. I’ve also heard that too !! When I planted seed the pot was fully saturated, with 3 litres which caused a lil runoff. I sprayed the top down first week and slowly increasing the watering up til 1.5litres recently and I do plan to water until slight run off in the near future I just ment as for now I’ll stick to the 1.5litres if I’m wrong in doing this I’d like some advice also ? Should I water until runoff now I don’t know how much of the pot the roots have taken yet ? Hence the slow increase ?

Thats really up to you. The big issue for seedlings in the first few weeks is over or under watering. Its very easy to over water, and its just as easy to underwater because you are worried about over watering!

You don't want your seedlings sitting in water, it will cause rot.

I think a good rule of thumb is to water every 4-5 days heavily, until the plants are about a month old. In between that, I mix up some foliar spray and give them a good spritzing every day along with the surface of the soil to help keep humidity up.

Once my plants are a month old, I water until runoff every day.

I am sure someone is gonna come a long and explain why I'm wrong. But I have always operated under the notion that you should water until your soil is fully saturated. Then let it dry until it needs watered again. Don't try to measure amounts of water to make it just right. Water until it comes out the bottom. Then let it dry out. This will force the roots to dive deep for water, instead of staying close to the surface.

I fully intend on watering until runoff down the line my thinking was though if the roots need to search for water in the early stages up to week four then why would watering until run off be needed before the roots have found the bottom of the pot ? Surely with light watering which runs to the middle and the bottom of the pot making it moist would be enough to encourage root growth as the excess water the roots don’t take would keep the middle moist, then as you slowly increase water the water would travel further down the pot encourage the root to travel further down the pot ? I’m still really uneducated on the watering situation and like most people say it comes with experience and is different with every plant and environment but in orderfor me to get a slight understanding on my first grow of how much Too water measuring would be the only way to give me some sort of safe guesstimate to what works and what Dosent. Like I say I have zero experience in this and I’m all ears.

And I do plan on watering until runoff around week four everyday. But like you said people over water and underwater in the early days but I’ve also heard that overwatering is far worse.

3 weeks old today how they loooking ? I’ve made some mistakes over last couple of days trying to lst..I snapped a lower branch. I also tried tying down another plant and accidentally topped it a node down from where I’m supposed too? It’s growing fine so I’ll see how it goes ive decided not to lst other than leaf tucking in this run. I gave them there first feed the day before yesterday and just tucked some leaves…

two of my biggest plantsalso have these yellow spots on there two biggest leaves? started around a week ago before there first feed so I’m hoping its fine now ? Deficiency of some sort should I take them off ?

2ml sensi grow A&B2ml vodooo juice.

The 9 sisters are 2 days shy of 4 weeks the stretch has really kicked in now the girl I accidentally topped is sitting at 20cm the largest is 50cm growing fast, they’ve had 2 feeds so far I’ve started taking the odd older leaf’s off the bottom. One here one there nothing major…Next time I’ll add more soil as the pots look half filled when dry and watered lesson learnt for next time… how they looking ? Should I start to defoliate abit heavier ? What’s peoples opinions on this please ?

34 days old and stretching like crazy all but one are between 60-80cm and all except 2 are in early stages of flower there still on veg feed I’ve defoliated all bottom growth and some top fan leaves. The colours of the 2 lsd 25 are really starting to pop how they looking guys ?

I gave them there first bloom feed today straight in at 4ml a 4ml b, 1.5 cal mag alongside 2ml bud candy. Hopefully right on time as Some of there leaves are showing signs of what I suspect is a cal mag deficiency. There growing stronger than I expected I’m real excited now !! the lsd lady’s looking sexy asf..
