1st Northern Lights Auto

Now, I must say for anyone going into a grow for the first time... I had no idea what I was doing. I had grown other flowers and vegetables before but this was new. I had no real set up however it went ... ok, and I’ve learnt a lot for the next time. So, this was the 5 weeks mark. It was growing very well, and It was noticeably growing everyday. I was told by a friend that he waters his every other day, so I adopted the same method. If someone could let me know if this is a good idea or not that would be great.
