Watering

Noidea
Noideastarted grow question a year ago
Hey! I'm on my first grow and went for Mimosa Orange Punch x auto. I'm 2 weeks in and all is sound, I just wanted to ask how much you watered each time and how/when you up the amount?I'm paranoid about overwatering. Been giving her 30/50ml every 3 days and a spray every few days

if you're using air pot and a good soil mixture over watering never gonna be a problem. it' might be better next time to use a smaller pot at the first stage. In any case for you regarding your question i would water on the outside of the pot till i see some drops of the runoff. If the soil is prefertilized water is ok at this stage. Next time if you really want to speed up the radication process. Small pot with coco mixture (Canna SEEDMIX is an optimal choice). When transplant break apart the roots (it will ease the formation of new roots) and use a radication powder (often called NAA). Spray algae on the leaves and the plant won't be stressed by the transplant

Your dead on with watering amount for now. Each day bump it 50ml. Water less around the plant and more outside the container. So don't water the first 3 inches around the plant. I assume you have been "as it's what it need in the first week" but once its got a couple nodes like yours, start focusing on Watering closer to the middle of the container and towards the edge. This will encourage the roots to expand. By next week I would be feeding 2 pints every 2 or so days. Then within another week 4 pints. It starts slow, but once established "like yours is" it can take more and more. Focus on expanding the roots to fill the container for now and bump the amount up each time. Goodluck growmie

The plant in your picture doesn't need much right now. I would give that baby 100ml of water and thats plenty enough for what it needs and won't log your soil with water. It will respond well. And as it grows and it's root system expands, you can incrementally increase your water volume. Just understand that whatever is above the soil, the same mass is below the soil. So take a look at your plant, and you can pretty quickly determine the size of it's root mass and the water volume it needs to be happy and not drowning. Remember that less is more when they are young and tender.
