N_e_Oanswered grow question 4 years ago Now at the beginning should be more often but after that try to get it almost dry the top 2/3 inches. The lack of water will make them expand their roots lookin for water what is great. U can also water from underneath. At 2nd and 3week i was watering ever 2/3 days. Now already 4/5 days without. When u water them dont do it in once, put a bit, wait till it drops, put a bit more, wait, and so on. U should be watering until starts coming underneath the pot. and that should be around 25% of full capacity of the pot. Btw, the 2 times i covered mines like u are doing i regreted. First of all if u are watering with product some of it should evaporate and get on the leafs and end up killing them.
