Quick question about watering (first time grow)

[Mr. TBAGU 420]

Ok, so i have the seeds germinated and planted in soil, but i was wondering how much do you water the soil to begin with until the leaves begin to sprout out of the soil? I've searched around for answers but didn't have much luck. If anyone could help me that would be amazing! Thanks.

If the soil was already watered they should be good for a few days.

As long as the soil is moist, you should be ok. Check the soil with your finger to see if its dry, wet, etc. about half inch to an inch below the surface. If its dry, water it. If its still wet, it probably doesnt need water.

Do this throughout the grow. Depending on your grow room, you may need to water twice a day, or maybe once every 3 days....

Thanks guys, I'm hoping to be able to grow atleast one successful plant here. Hopefully when i get my taxes back i can get more lightage up in my grow room. I'll keep an eye on the soil so it doesn't get dried out.

Hey guys, my plants have emerged from the soil! Take a look at them and let me know what you guys think. It's my first time tryin to grow so i'm hoping they turn out good! Any advice on my plants will be appreciated. Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

you are going to have to seperate those plants.

get 3 little solo party cups and put them in there. dont forget to cut holes for drainage though...

[Mr. TBAGU 420]

Alrighty, will do. What's the best way of moving the 3 plants from the one base to 3 seperate cups?

[KingKronic420]

very, very tediously. take your time and slowly dig around each of the plants, with your fingers, until you get to the bottoms of the roots. but since they are so young right now they will be fragile, so take your time and be careful.

good luck bro, and ill try to help answer any questions i can but im still a noob too.

[Mr. TBAGU 420]

Alright, today i planted 2 of the 3 plants into little stirofoam (SP?) cups and they seem to be doing good for the most part. I have some pictures that i took that i'm going to post so you guys can let me know if they look healthy and alive. And oh yeah, how long does the veg. period take in the growing process? Thanks to anyone who can give me good solid advice. :thumbsup:

Make sure to put a few holes in the cup, around the bottom and a few on the sides. Try to avoid over loving your plant- overwatering, over analyzing, and generally over doing everything. It should do just fine on its own, just give it good light, water and it will take care of the rest. Good luck.
