JacareGrowsstarted grow question 5 years ago
This my first grow. I watered the soil on the first day, then after 3 days i watered again with almost 250 ml , the pots are 6.5 L . Should i water the plants until water comes out under the pot ? And then water again when the top is 1 inch dry ? Thanks and good grows. 😀

250 ml should be enough for at leat 5-7 days. I do it like this with lil seedlings. i give tem every day a small amount and soe foliar feeding that means 20 ml water and some spraying with water and aloe( before Light turn off) correct waterregime is for me one of the hardest thing to learn indoors. I messed up my first indoor totally with overwatering To train your skills you can go with the Potlifting or pot weighing method. That means.... fill a similar pot with ry soil and try to remind that weigh ( of put it on a scale).....here you have your refeernce weigh if your pots with the plants and the water reach the weigh of the dry,,, you can water again Its good you took plasticpots, because here you get a good drinage. Smartpots are better for the Plant, but they keep the humidity and water very good inside ... bad if you overwater Iam sure you get used to your wateringregime, by using this technic. I know some more , if you are interested.

The best way to water in my experience is to do one good watering and see how much it weights. After 3 days pick it up. If it’s super light add water till in runs out thru the bottom. Replete as needed. Side note. What soil are you using? Did you mix anything into it? There are things you can add to the soil to keep it more wet. Or even using a cover on top of the soil is a good idea. I use bark mulch. Untreated. No color added.

be careful not to give too much water and soak the soil too much, this will block the roots and plant's growth and it may dead. Give water in small quantities 100 ml, they don't need more than that.let the substrate dry between waterings, tries to guide by the weight of the pot, the substrate when it is dry is really light. good luck in your grow mate
