Hey I was just wondering, how much water should I give to my plant every few days? I have a 5 gallon smart pot. Obviously have a autoflower, it’s gorilla glue auto.
 
Also, when should I start adding nutrients, I’m using fox farm ocean forest, growing outdoors, should I wait until there is nutrient deficiencies shown? Or just start after 4.5 weeks?
 
When I was using 5 gallon smart pot it was basically 3 solo cups or 48oz every other day. It would be enough to just enough to dribble out the bottom, but not much. Useful if growing organic because you don't want to wash out all the good stuff (bacteria/fungi) . As far as ocean forest soil, I've always been under the impression is has a pretty high amount of nutrients right from the start. Maybe just think about using some guano or other similar product to up the P and K values. You really don't need heavy amounts of nitrogen anymore.

Thank you for the advice
 
For anyone wondering, I’m at day 4 after seedling sprouted. It’s going pretty well

Just water for the next 14-21days. Nothin else!!
 
Your soil appears wet instead of moist. At that age, in my environment I would water with 16oz. squeeze bottle in a circular fashion radiating from drip line out maybe 1 bottle every 2 days. Pics are day 1 and 4, auto BlueBerry Domina. Moist not wet my friend. You can't over water, the problems come in from watering too often.

Appears and reality are two different things, it’s not wet at all and it’s softly moistened, haven’t watered in 2 days so when the first inch of soil is dry I’m going to water in a circle

Sorry, forgot to elaborate, my recommendation for watering was for a mature flowering lady. Sorry if that could fused you. At that age I usually do half a solo cup
