[darthstoner09]

Hey, I have a plant, just about over a foot now. But I dont know what is the best way to water it. How much water should I give it a day?a week? any help you have will be very much appreciated. Its indoor being grown in a closet about 4x4 ft. with aluminum foil surrounding everything, soon to be replaced with mylar. So any watering tips would really help. thanks!

Here is very useful info from THE CANNABIS GROW BIBLE (Chapter 5: THE INDOOR GROWING OF CANNABIS).
Btw, highly recommended book.


WATERING
Water your plant ever second or third day or better still when
they dry out. Never let the soil dry out completely for long periods of
time. The following method works best with good size pots.

Day A - watering, Day B - let dry, Day C - let dry, Day D - check soil and water if needed.

This really does depend on the size of your pots though. If you
pick up your pot when it is dry and pick up the same pot when it is has
been watered, you can tell the difference in weight. This is a good way
to judge if your pots need water or not.

It is easy to see signs of over-watering. Watch your plants
after you have watered them for the next 2 - 3 days. Do the fan leaves
point outwards to receive more light? Or do they wilt downwards and
look like claws. If they wilt then you may be under-watering or overwatering.

Check the soil. Is it dry? If it is then add more water. If itâ??s
wet, then leave the soil dry out for more time until your leaves pick up
again. You will eventually understand more about your plants needs as
it grows along. What you need to do is form a pattern or relationship
with your plants watering needs.

Over-watering does kill plants if the watering continues. If
this happens let it dry out and hope for the best. Use a fan near the
surface of the soil if you can. You may find that you need to water
everyday because your light may be discharging a lot of heat and your
soil might be a quick draining type.

Your plant needs all the light it can get in vegetative growth.
Leave your light on 24 hours a day and enjoy watching your plant as it
grows.
