New Grower Watering question....

[atpmixx]

Gearing up for the first grow. Im following FD's Guide to Growing Hefty Autos in Small Places. I have it all down, just not understanding the watering schedule. He says: Week
1 pH water only

1.5 add in Big Bloom to the mix at 1/2 tea spoon

2 1/2tsp Grow Big 1/2 tsp Big Bloom

2.5 3/4 tsp of grow big

3 1tsp grow big and 1/2 Tiger bloom 1/2 tea spoon Big Bloom

3.5 1/2 tsp Grow Big 1/2tsp Tiger bloom

4 1tsp Tiger bloom 1/2 tsp Grow Big

4.5 Clean pH'ed water to clear out salt build up

5 2tsp tiger bloom 1/2 grow big

5.5 1 Teaspoon Grow Big

6 Begin Flush for the final weeks. At this point i can flush for a week before i begin to see yellowing of the fans.

Do I assume you water twice a week based off what he says? And how about when you have a seedling? (Im doing those in a jiffy cup). Thanks!

No matter whether it's a plant or a seedling you should only water when the soil has dried out. Best way to tell is by the weight of the pots. Get a feel for how much they weigh when dry and only water again when they feel like that. Depending on your soil, lighting and humidity, that could be anywhere from every 3 to 5 days.

Thanks Muddy! I figured as much, but being a newbie I didn't want to anger the ganja gods by over/under watering.
