Since you are using airpots and add to that the fact that you aren't watering with much water and that's why your soil is drying out pretty quickly and you are watering every 2 days. You really should fully saturate the pot so all of the soil is moist. If you are worried about overwatering, don't worry that much about how much water you use. Overwatering happens when you water too frequently and keep the soil too wet. as long as the soil drys out a fair bit between waterings, fully saturating the pot won't cause overwatering. Does the plant get any more light other than the sunlight you are giving it outside? If not, you really should give it longer hours of light. Only 7.5 hours of light isn't a lot for cannabis. It really wants at least 16 hours when it is vegging. If you need any other advice feel free to dm me! Good luck!

I always water with the same rule of thumb: each watering is with 10% of the container size So for your 12l pot I would use about 1.2l every time my pots feel really light..in early veg I sometimes water only once a week,depending on the weather outside..if it’s a really sunny day they dry out quicker especially in airports..if you water next time you can pick up your pot to feel the weight..still a bit heavy wait a day longer,feeling light just add water,this way you get a nice wet/dry cycle So oxygen can get to the roots so they don’t suffocate ✌️And happy growing,stay safe 🌱

Hey buddy :-) let it get a little drier and lift the pot up, then you will notice how light it is. Then you pour and lift it up again, then you realize how heavy it is. Only when it is as light as before, water again. Carry on as you can 👍😂🍀

Hello, I don't think it's too much; you still need to moisten the 12L of soil. How does the plant react to the 250ml of water? I would at least double the dose while also watering well on the sides. If you can take your plant out earlier in the morning, I think it would be better for its growth. So I would give them 500ml, increasing gradually. I hope this advice helps you!
