When they need water. You can't really set a schedule cause there are too many factors. Like how big they are, some strains drink more than others, heat might cause more water to evaporate in some setups, what size pot you have them in etc. You want a good dry period inbetween waterings so the roots get lotsa air. Use the lift test, just pick them up and judge as best you can by weight. you'll develop a feel for what's proper after awhile. Like so many things in life, growing is part science part art and only experience will teach you everything you need to know.

Learn to recognize the first signs of underwater, the droopy somewhat limp fan leaves, and see how long it takes, then water 1 day before they get like that. New growers usually over do everything, nutes, water etc. More is not better in this case.

Ok thanks for the advice. I water everyday & the 6 plants looks healthy, 1 plant does have leaves like claws, i think i have over-watered that one, no to worry though, il just give it less water on the next feeding.

Everyday is a bit excessive unless they really suck that much water out of the medium. Get a pot, the same size as the ones you're growing in, fill it with the same dry soil mix you use, pick it up, that is what they should feel like before watering again. They'll obviously be a little heavier cause the plant has weight to it, but you get the idea. I usually aim for 3 times a week, 2 times plain water and 1 time feed. But again, I don't set a real schedule. If you really have to water everyday cause they're drinking that much water than it's time for a transplant to a bigger pot.

peace and good luck

Ok cheers, when I water everyday, I just give them 50-70ml. my pot is 10 litres, i water when the light is off for 4hrs also. I watched this video... Top quality home growing & this dude waters his plants with 200ML a day. If anybody wants too, i can send them the video though msn... [email protected]

Some fish emulsion would help you out a lot with your yellow leaves, it's organic so it won't burn the plants easily, and high in Nitrogen: 5-1-1

Hope this helps
