I got a little 3 week plant in 100% peat mix and I'm still not sure on the correct way to water it. I been watering/feed every 3 days and the plant is growing a bit slower than usual. Anyone with experience in watering/feeding 100% peat ?

Pot size matters as well as plant stage
I water peat to full soak and then allow to dry
But if you don't stagger your potting you can over water a small plant in too big of pot

I didn't have a pot at the time so I used a liter Pepsi bottle. Do you feed with every watering ?

I guess you could say you don't even have a pot to piss in

Haha man it's hard out here in the country. They don't have shit for growing. Even the peat moss isn't really peat moss. I just measured the runoff from a fresh batch of this same peat moss and it's +3500.
