It's kinda early to tell. But as long as you're treating it the same as the others, you'll learn a lot about growing.
On a side note, when you're starting seeds, you typically will germinate them in smaller containers first and then move them to a larger pot after a bit more growth...that way you can control the moisture better, keeping it consistent throughout the soil and it also helps develop a good root ball early on, which in turn promotes healthy growth.
How, when, and what you water with are very critical to a good garden, no matter if it's cannabis, carrots, or cucumbers.
But remember, a lot of water less often, is better than a little water all the time.

I think ill start water tomo until i get some run.. theb wait 3 days and do it again.
Unless you're growing in the sahara...watering a 5 gallon to runoff with that size plant, you will not need to water for 2 weeks! lol The plant is tiny still..give it just what it needs..no need to keep the entire medium wet as it cant dry out properly. If the soil is dry about an inch down near the base of the plant, giving 2 cups of water will be enough for now!

2 cups of water?!!!! That may be all it needs, but there's no way to deliver it in such a large container.
No way to deliver it? You take 2 cups of water, and pour it around the base of the plant, voila! Not rocket science! Why wet an entire 5 gallon container when the plant doesn't yet have the root mass to start absorbing it everywhere..it will just keep the soil wet and put it in an anaerobic condition. Roots need oxygen, they wont find it if the medium is kept wet!
