You are in good hands here if you can weed out the ones will ill intentions. Growing is learning and even the masters are still learning something new every day. Honestly...start a journal here.

Thanks already writing it all down no way I can remember all this knowledge lol

I water once a week and feed once a week. When I do either of them, I make sure I do it until I start to see runoff.

Ok thanks I have been feeding according to my moisture meter, I feed them wait about 10 min. Check them and if they read dry I give them more and I do this daily...

 

[TheSadBadGrower]

No need to water daily unless it's coco...soil plants need a dry period too.

Ok I'll remember that so if the soil reads dry to you recommend just plain water or just feed every other day???

I only needed to water once a week and feed once a week. You dont want to over water or over feed them. Honestly....those soil meters are somewhat useless ( no offense ). I have been growing a while so I can tell just by looking at them what they need. The easiest method though is lifting the pot a little and see how it weighs. When it's really light....time to water or feed.

Your ladies are healthy and looking good so I wouldnt worry at all. It comes together with experience. Start a journal here and let others follow along.

Thanks man I just trying not to screw up my babies even if I get a small yield this time it'll be good for me while I'm learning from the pros... The weight is my reference also along with my meter they are always a few ounces lighter when I weight them every day so that's also why I've been feeding them daily... I check the soil by feel about 2" down and it is usually kinda dry the moss helps keep them airrated and them from getting water logged.

In veg in a reasonable size pot using soil, you will water roughly every 3 or 4 days, moving to 3 and then 2 in flower.

Wet dry cycle is critical in veg, a big part of getting a nice healthy plant.

The best grows transplant so root balls can grow big ans support big plants.

For lighting i reco HLG for LEDs and any of the top brands for HPS.
