not too much at all...just make sure it's real humid, like 60%, and the soil should be not soaking wet, but moist...

for my current grow i didn't water my seedlings for almost a week...i kept them in starter plugs in a humidity dome and would mist in there and spray the plugs a bit...you want the young roots to search for water, this makes for a great young root system!

it's tough to give an exact number per week! could change due to alot of dif factors..just make sure the soil isn't too saturated, and if it get's a bit dry that's ok.

I just keep the soil moist and keep a eye on them every day and when the soil is dry I add more water but I always wait until the soil is dry before I add any water after about a week you can kind of tell when and how much water to add I water twice a week one time with nutes. and one time plan distilled water but I'm not a long time grower but it's worked for me so far I just can't get rid of these damn spidermites

at first
about 1/2 oz a day
then by day 9 1-2 oz of h2o
To this point I have been only using water (H2O). But now I mixed 5ml of FoxFarm's Big Bloom (0.01-0.3-0.7) per gallon of water. This is a one half mix but in a week or so I'll be over full strength.

I too have 20 seedlings in light warrior, there working on ther 2nd node but they dont seem to be to happy, there all green but there growing kinda slow. I guess my ? is how long do you keep them in that soil. Im using happyfrog for the transplant but i dont want them to get burned either.

So my 20 seedlings are not doing so well, like i said before there all in light warrior soil & in little party cups, (The Kid Size ones) and there starting to yellow, I not sure whats going on, i have been trying to find the best way to start out, but everytime they get to there 2nd node they just stop growing, I just got some white widow, purple power and G13 Power Skunk, but dont want to hit the dirt with them till a find a good way to get them going good, My 20 are bagseed, and i veg under 48" florecents 24/7, but cant seem to get them going, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
