People keep telling me the importance of not overwatering & letting it "dry out" before watering.

 

Well 3 of these cups weight 130g right now (one weights 121g) & a dry cup of just soil = 120g.

 

Is it dry enough yet? Will the plant tell me its dry by drooping etc? What happens if i wait too long to water.

Hey man, pot weight would work better when you get into bigger pots, a lot easier feel the difference in 20L of wet soil then dry, not so easy in small cups. 

They look like theyre doing pretty good so whatever your doing ain’t far off the mark 👍🏻 

How much and how often have you been watering up to now?

Last watering was 4 days ago & it was a single shotglass (44ml) each.

I think the new 6" fan is drying them out quicker, previous watering lasted 6 days.

I can’t remember where I got this advice, but it has worked for me…

Soak the medium before planting seed. And don’t water again until 7-8 days after the seed has sprouted out of the soil removed link Then water till runoff. Then feed 1/4 strength nutrient mix for the first couple feedings… about 3oz per solo cup, everyday after… until it needs more. ✌️ Hope that helps.

Ocean forest soil should be fine for quite a while. Cannabis is not a huge feeder so just water for now.

@gonzo333 they’ll start needing more now they have a root base down and some nice leaves to make food. I’d try maybe 100-150ml every 3 days or so, increasing volume as they need but keeping similar intervals, there’s no hard and fast rule. For me I usually water Mon/Wed/Fri, gives them an extra dry out day over the weekend. Good luck 👍🏻

I don't think amount of water is as important as how often. I water until I see some run off then just let it dry out over a few days.
