So pour water till I see water come out the drain holes? Seems like a lot of water. If it’s to much won’t it rot the roots ? Just asking cause I don’t know.

Those roots you just buried will be seeking water. Pour at least a half gallon or more in there till it runs off. Then stop. Don't water till the pot is light in weight.

Yep. Bout a 1/2 gallon each. Have run off. How long will the run off keep going ? Thanks man
Won't take long. Just be sure they aren't sitting in it. If they are...when it stops ya can use a turkey baster to suck up the excess water or just dump it. Best to elevate them from the catch tray.

ok thanks agin. So in a few days when pot is lighter just put same amount of water in ? Sorry for so many questions.
Thats correct.
Questions are fine. I'd suggest ya do some reading. There are many here with journals. Checked them out. Find one that looks like their style is what you'd like to do and copy them.

Won't hurt to leave the door open on the closet when your lights are on, either. If the plants use up all the CO2 in the closet, the extra light hours are just a waste of time.
We need oxygen. Plants need CO2.

My first grow as a kid was in a tiny room under the basement stairs. I left the door closed 'cause I didn't want my folks seeing it. I'd go in there and get an instant head rush from all the oxygen. I'd sit in there and marvel at the beauty of Redroot Kali growing. They appreciated the CO2 I was exhaling.
Damned brother came home from college and told 'em that the plants weren't hybrid tomato plants. Mom gave 'em a shot of bleach in the hydro tank. Bye bye plants.

Dang. That’s crazy. I remember when I was a kid was at a party and evryine was passed out went in basement and seen several pot plants didn’t know any better and I took all the leaves off the plants like an idiot.
Don't hesitate to post pics. It helps us see what your seeing.
Those elevated leaves reaching for the light is what you should seek every time. This is what's called good posture. Anything less and you start going through the checklist...water, nutrients, environment.

I see your secondary branches starting to form. New growth looks good.

Crazy how it happens over night. Wonder that the timeline is for end of vegetative state and change light schedule. ?
Ya got about 3 more weeks of growth to go in the veg stage. It will be mature enough to flower.
I do a lot of training with young plants. By bending them over and spreading them out you develop a wider plant and the stems will become fatter. Spreading of the secondaries is the ticket. These will be big contributors to your harvest.
Early training...

Yeah that’s nice. That’s what I want to do. Just not sure how to. Afraid I’ll mess it up.
