For the time being, you'll just want to water to a couple of inches out from the stem, and definitely not enough to saturate the entire pot. As it grows, the roots will spread out further into the soil, and subsequently you'll find yourself needing to water more frequently. Next time, I'd maybe think about starting out in a smaller pot, then transplanting to the 4gal after becoming rootbound. That's usually when my plants start their first true growth spurt.

And probus: No offense taken, bro... but plants grown in quality soil can generally go through about four weeks of growth before needing any extra nutrients. Unless you're working with a soilless medium, like peat/perlite/whatever, it's usually best not to fertilize until the plants start to look like they need the extra nutrients. Lots of soils are already prefertilized, so you have to be careful in the beginning not to burn the seedlings.

Take care. :jointsmile:
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . How much longer? This is my first grow. This plant, a bagseed from Jamaica, recieved inadaquate light for about 3 weeks and showed almost no growth. Adding a bunch more of cfls and mylar, she quickely showed improvement in size within days. I found it remarkable, the day I put her in there she grew more in a couple hours than the past week. Anyways, there's starting growth under the outer layers of the leafs and I was wondering how much longer until rapid veg growth. ...pics Rating: 5
