Bro that’s killer info to share .... Similar to the way I do but I go for outside corners and then a spray or two near the plant. I’ve also will employ a Turkey Baster and little squirt in the corners or where I think it’s needed.

I thought it to be quite valuable information. Will basically 95% prevent over watering if you pay attention to how much your actually squirting into the dirt. Do it evenly for best results, it’s about every 3 days I do that until they get large enough to take a full on watering without slowing down at all

Targeted Watering

Good stuff

My seedlings are kicking ass right now, their just starting off and already have 4 side branches each on my Sour Cracks. Excellent genetics Mephisto!

Have been using turkey baster on my vegetable starts since the Carter Years ..... I’m new to indoor gardening, kinda, I have always started my own plants inside under T5s or window or whatever light I had, but, as far as a full grow insdie a tent, I have a long way to go but I’m working on it.

Any edible vegetables in your tent??

Most plants die for two reasons:

1. Too much water
2. Too much fertilizer

Just a reminder of week 1 checkoff updates have a few days left and then week 2 updates will start on February 8th.

Sounds good. I started on the late side, so my weekly updates will be on the late side of each week. I appreciate the reminders, I am old and my memory is not like it used to be.

I really like to cut my soil hardcore with perlite. My nine three gallon pots have half a bale of pro mix to two garbage bags full of perlite. It drains excellent. To field capacity. So basically I can water and water and water, and it will always drain out to the exact same water content. You can also use river sand, crushed shells, or even small gravel for added drainage.

@Moabfighter Good Point - By doing so you’ve eliminated one of the two most common reasons for killing a plant, overwatering .....

I would also like to add small lava rock to your cut soil list!

Awesome, note to others you can often find lava rock in the grilling section at Lowe’s Walmart etc. it’s commonly used for water smoking meat. I’ve actually only ever seen lava rock in the grilling section. It may be around garden stores I don’t know. Thanks for the info I’m going to check prices on lava rock when I go out. Perlite is expensive if not bought in bulk. 8 quart bag for 5 bucks doesn’t do shit..

Lava Rock won’t float or move in the soil either ..... I picked up a broken bag at “home cheapo” in the garden section for a $1 but it was the larger stone until it met Mr. Hammer ..... got some rock dust outa the deal too as Mr. Hammer was a 9lb sledge ..... feed dust to my gardening buddies, the worms .....

Found a really good source on water / dirt relationship .... Worth Checking Out - Knowledge is Power

If you do nothing else, check out page 7 and 8 .... Highly Educational and Recommended
