ok so i have just started growing in my cupboard, im using a 200w cfl. My seed has just sprouted and seems to be growing well but, i don't know how much water to give it and how often.:-(

Im using biobizz allmix and have it in maybe a 4inch pot.

As for nutes i have got bio vega organic nutes and rhizotonic for the roots which is also organic both made by BIOCANNA. Any feedback on these products also would be helpful.

At the moment im just mixing both the products weaker than directed and watering it very small amount daily, maybe about 75mls.

please, any feedback would help, if the plant survives pics will follow.:-P

When you water you should then pick up your pot so you can judge the weight and then don't water till your pot feels lite. after a while you should be able to tell by the feel of the pot when to water. I never feed my plants till they are a month old. Hope this helps, Good Luck

Water when the soil gets dry, when you do water, keep watering until a third of what you poured in drains out the bottom. I like to avoid adding ANY nutrients as long as I can. A young seedling should be able to pull everything it needs from the soil for a quite a while before she needs any added nutrients. Fertilizing too early will at best retard growth, and could potentially kill your little girl. Wait to fertilize until you start to see the lush green you probably see now, fade into a lighter green, it will continue to fade to yellow as it grows into deficiency. GL

I luv these responses! The "pick up the pot" method, the "keep pouring it all over the floor" method, too!
OK, I know that these are both widely accepted ways and are working fer you guys, heres wat works fer me: I water wen the water meter I bought fer $6 tells me to ( I check every day, 3 x's during the light cycle) I only pour half a gallon into a 5 gal pot, I only use about a quart in a 3 gal pot. I water about every 3 days (depends wat me meter says), and I flush every 2 weeks
