How much water for a sprouts in 1 gallon pots? My plants seem to be drinking everything up really fast and I'm worried about over watering them. I gave each pot about 50-60ML of water last night, but the tops of some of them are dry already. Should I water them more?

Hey man, Have you placed your finger under the soil level to check see if it’s still moist. About your the depth of your index finger nail should be able to tell you. For your first full water I read you should water between 5%-10% of your pot size. So for example 10% of 1 gallon be about 380ml. So just water when dry and build up to full watering of the pot at round 380ml. Btw what is your temp as that could be a reason that drying out quickly Happy growing. DN

wateringregime is one of the hardest parts to learn in myopinion I water my plants daily.... for me its the best way to go sure , the girls got enough even in the summertime// if its hot outside , i do it daily The goal is to have a wet-dry cycle. even if its a short one There are alot of technics to mamag a good watering One is the pot weighin method...... you weigh the pot on a scale if its dry...... then you give her water... and just water again if you reach the dry weigh very similar is the pot lifting method Lift the growing pots if the plant is dry.... try to remember this weigh.... just water again if you reach that weigh another one is the knuckle method water your girls, and then do it again if the soil is knuckledeep dry Another is the adapting method.... if you start a grow, water with small shotglasses---- then checkback with your knuckles // or potlifting ... and go on with bigger glasses if she gets bigger, and the amount is not enough Overwatering is abad thing its ainvitiation to alot of pests and issues.... but underwatering in flowermode is bad too So it will take alittle time to find your method

Heya! Seedlings I usually water 80mL until they grow a few leaves. Never had any issues with this amount. Maybe try a tad more! Cheers and good luck
