Seedling Watering Advice

[echdk3]

Hey guys! First time grower beginner advice needed please. How often and how much should I be watering my young seedlings pictured here? I’m growing in FFOF and perlite under a Black Dog LED Phytomax-2 600. Thanks guys!

I like to wet the entire pot full of soil and keep it damp this helps the soil ph stay stable. Then right around the little girl I give it about half a cup of water and wait until it is dry on top then a whole cup let dry again and add more water as it grows always allowing it to dry between watering. One more thing don't pour the water right on top of your plants pour it like an inch away all the way around it. Over watering doesn't happen because you give em to much water at one time over watering happens when you water them before they get dry

Thank you both! I think I’ve been watering too often and with too little water. The air is pretty dry in the room this time of year, and thankfully I have pretty good air flow in and out of the tent, so I’m going to try for one good thorough watering a day for now. 24 hours really does seem like enough time to dry it all back out again.

Daily is gonna be to often, if it's drying that fast you are not giving em enough. Check out the link that Farmbuck put up there or you are gonna run into trouble

Overwatering is easy as a noob. Ive done it multiple times. Every other day will be too often. Maybe every 3 if the soil is dry down about 1" to 1.5". Only water when dry and definitely don't add any nutes any time too soon. They are way to little.
good luck
