¿ Maybe every other day if your temps are high..... If I did that I'd have issues.every other day for me too
so do you add more perlite and castings. im going to use the same soil and it has that in alreadyi water every 6 days nd i use ff ocean forest w/ perlite n worm castings
Excellent response, my pet peave is over-watering.How much and how often you water depends on a few things. Temperature, humidity, soil composition, size of the plant, etc.
A moisture meter makes watering foolproof. Just stick the meter down into the soil (all the way to the bottom of the pot) and when it reads "dry" all the way through add some water!
My plants are in 10" pots (about 3 gallons) and get watered (2/3 of a cup) every 4 days or so. If I watered every other day like these other posters, my plants would drown.

It can and will kill your plants, and you can't take it back. Moisture stress will slow growth, lock up nutes, cause root rot. A moisture meter will help you avoid all of this.
+rep for your excellent response!
