Day 1: woke up today and one seed had sprouted!!!!!! Not sure if I'm supposed to keep dome on or not, but I'm going to at least till I come home from work. Got home from work and the other has sprouted also. Day 2: just been misting the top of soil lightly. The bottom of my pot still feels pretty damp so I'm not thinking I'll have to water them till over the one week mark or more. Day 3 10/30: Not a whole lot of progress. Plants are getting bigger just really slow. Gave soil a light misting after work around 9pm. Pots are starting to feel lighter but I think I'm gonna hold off a couple days on water. Day 4: used some soil to propped my larger seedling up slightly. It was semi leaning to one side. Day 5: not much to report. The bottom of the fabric pot seems to be drying up. I think tomorrow is going to be their first watering. Maybe 2 days away. I will update. Keeping Temps and RH consistent. Around 75 each. I definitely see more leaves about to sprout out the top of seedling. Day 6: seedlings are getting bigger. I'm still thinking about holding off water for another day but I'm not completely sure. Update: Definitely going to wait till tomorrow night to water, I'm still seeing decent growth so imma let it go till tomorrow night. Then I'll do the first water of this seedling. Day 7: leaves on top are getting bigger. I will do my first water around 7pm tonight. Going to start with roughly a gallon and see if I get a little run off with that amount. After first water I won't water them again till the pot is completely dry. FIRST WATERING: I watered both of my 5 gallon fabric pots with about 0.4 gallons of water each. I was able to obtain run off with this amount and the whole bottom of my fabric pot is wet. I will not water again till my pot is dry. My dry weight of my pot is 12 lbs. When I hit that mark I will think about water again.

Bigdaddybluestarted grow question a year ago
What is the best way to water a pot of this size? It seemed like it nearly took the whole gallon before water started coming out the bottom. What amount of water will I be using in a week or two when I do my first initial watering?

You can use the finger test and actually pick the potter up to judge its weight. 1 gallon of water is 8 lbs. So you will notice a considerable difference between wet and dry substrate.

I dump 2 liters of water in a 3 gallon fabric pot and that seems to wet everything nicely. Plants are happy and in need of water every 3 days. For 5 gallons, try 4 liters of water. If you want some runoff then maybe 5 or 6 liters. Depends on how you apply the water too. If you just douche it in fast you'll get some that leaks through the fabric and out the sides. Pour it in more slowly and it will penetrate the soil better and more evenly. If you are growing Photo Periods i would not plant a germinated seed into a 5 gallon pot right off the bat. You'll likely over water it and kill it. If it's auto's you intend on growing, you won't need a 5 gallon pot. 3 gallon is a much better size for auto's because they don't grow a huge root mass. Your roots will likely never touch the sides of your 5 gal pot or the bottom.

About to do my first water, 7 days in with seedlings. Using mother earth terracraft soil. 70% soil 30% perlite. How much should I water? Should I water till run off or much more lightly? Keeping temp and rh around 75. 5 gallon pots. Don't want to over do their first water.

I was recommended to use 500ml water in a ring around the plant, about the width of the leaves, until big enough to fully water the whole pot.. but Iโ€™m really just here to wish you good luck with your grow because I have overwatered and stunted every single plant ever started in a too big pot and Iโ€™m afraid of autos now

Hi bro, hope you enjoying your grow so far ๐Ÿ˜1 week without water at all? I would recommend you to start with approx. 100-150ml around the seedlings and moist entire pot surface with bottle sprayer. Keep spraying the surface every couple of hours and keep watering every 2-3 days. Keep humidity above 70%. Hope this help. Best of luck โœจ๐Ÿ€โœจ

Big pots for a small plant(I know....autos) will wick moisture away from your small root zone. Small frequent watering in a small ring around your plant is probably the best way to start. Increase as growth accelerates. Once your plant is big enough to truly be "feeding" is when you're gonna want to water until you get runoff.

@Herbie101, thanks. I'm sure it's going to be an interesting experience. I'm sure I'll learn a lot. Seeds are about to go into soil.

Coming along nicely. The plants will tell you when they need water. Droopy leaves is sign of over watering and additionally under watering. As seedlings they need very little water and over watering can stunt their growth. Try and aim to water every two or three days depending on relative hungry, temperature etc. Pop me a message if you ever have any questions, Iโ€™ll be happy to assist. ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’š Cheers, Golden ๐ŸŒž

@Bigdaddyblue, well not feeding GH grow definitely seems to be working out for you! Everything seems super healthy โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿฝ๐ŸŒฑVery interesting... I'm growing hydroponics (coc/perlite only) so I'm using all the trio of course.. I'm not worrying about nitrogen toxicity as I'm giving low dosages, and keep my EC low (through the entire grow btw, I never go above 1.4-1.5) And yes you're right about letting your soil get dry a bit, just make sure you doing some runnoff a bit to dismiss any salts build up โœŒ๏ธ๐ŸฝโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿฝ

@1_Plant_Wonder, I also wait 4-6 days between each watering, or until the pots feel light or until the plants look like they might droop soon.
Bigdaddyblue
Bigdaddyblue
@1_Plant_Wonder, I am using General Hydroponics micro and bloom and calimagic. I didnt use the grow because I heard about how easy it to get nitrogen toxicity. I've only fed twice, first feed was 1mL per gallon of each. 2nd feed was 2.5 mL per gallon of each. I assume I will be upping the bloom here soon and trying to use more of the traditional lucas method. Using mother earth terracraft soil, it seems to be great, not too hot.

@Crashoverite, thanks! Also thanks for the comment on my grow question. I didnt feed them for a week because I pre watered my soil before planting them. I also kept misting the top soil everyday very lightly. I gave them their first water last night and weighed my pots so I know when they are dry again.

Good run for the the first time. I can see you learned alot from this grow. Yes in the start it can be tricky with the watering. But in general I would say, you watered to much in the start. Also for the next run. Look up VPD for different stages of the plant. And DLI is also a important thing to know, when you grow. The is recommendations for how much DLI a autoflowers should in the different weeks. Keep growing and learn. ๐Ÿค›๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค˜
