Indoor Northern lights auto seedling in large pot watering advice

[leafymoon]

Hey

I am currently growing an auto northern lights in a 20 litre pot (well...bucket) with 7 litres compost and 3 litres of perlite. I'm on day 4 from sprouting and unsure where to go with watering.

I had flushed the soil before planting the seed and haven't watered since then which was 6 days ago now. I have been spraying water twice a day up until now but feel the soil has dried out almost to the bottom and I should start watering properly.

which method is best to use given its a small seedling in a big pot. Water small amounts round in ever increasing rings or water the whole thing til run off now? Or none of the above haha.

Thanks

Water a large area and wait the 6 days..no need to spray twice a day unless you're trying to keep humidity up and even then I use a small humidifier if need be no spraying.Also, no need to water with runoff yet. As the plant grows just increase the water, water slowly and a large area. Everyone has a different method, but this works very well.

Hey cheers.

I watered her a little bit last night just in a circle directly around her but not a large amount at all. About 4ml in about 4 inches of the pot. Is this enpugh though should i water a little more (not over what i done yesterday but outside that) Im worried the roots will be searching out and itll be dry...but I am a total newbie and have no idea hoe far they would be by now.

I was spraying as things seemed a bit dry in there. Still do to an extent but ahe is growing pretty well so I'm maybe being overly panicky.

It's a bit tricky cos of the large pot ans the little seedling...lesson learned maybe
