OK COOL. im in doors im seeting up my tent but i have it in the tent at about 18/6. and i have the light roughly 18in high. dont know if thts correct? and the light is on high. and im a little confused on watering i watered it last night pretty good so im trying to figure a water squdeule?

lots of indoor tent growers here so you will be getting a lot of good advice

on watering , here is a good tip if you dont have a schedule

pick up the container when you know it is dry and needing water

feel how light the container is…hardly any weight

then give it some water and pick it up agin

a lot heavier now

pick up your containers every day , maybe sometimes twice a day

feel if it is heavy or light and then go from there

after awhile one learns how much water to give the plant based upon age of plant , genetics , grow medium , and size of container

it is a learning process

all the best

Your plant should be fine in that container for a bit longer. Let it dry out a bit before you water it again. Over water is the biggest first timers mistake. They plants like a little dryer time between watering. You can lift the pots and tell they are light and need water. What kind of light are you using in your tent?

 

[SubmarineGirl]

Yes, what big said

 

[user 60570]

it is interesting to me how some plants use more water than others

also , i would rather error on the side of under-watering than to overwater

it appears the plant can recover from underwatering better and faster than it does from overwatering

another way of saying that is it is easier to kill a plant from overwatering than it is to kill a plant from under watering

hey so i did nt hook up my timer yet and last night i forgot to shut them lights off for the 6 hours cuz its on 18/6 so i useually shut down at 12am and turn on at 6am since i forgot to shut off should i turn them off for six hours or let them stay on till tonights shut off and be back on track? also these are current pics fron this am, they kinda look droppy to me but what do i know,the pics on the thread are from yesterday when i posted this..

 

[Lesso]

Just leave it on

 

[captain23]

Just leave it on

Just leave it on

ok. and then tonight shut them off to get back on track? i added pics of what they look like ..they looked droppy to me compared to the pics i posted with the thread.. thx

 

[Lesso]

Yeah thell be fine. They don't droop if you only leave the light on too long. Droop is usually water related

 

[Lesso]

They don't look droopy to me. Let them dry up a bit before you water again

 

[captain23]

ok cool like i said im new learn as i grow.. but yea i just did a good watering on sunday so im paying attention on my water times..thx

They look amazing my friend. A good way to avoid overwatering in the beginning is to just weight everything. Put your pot in a scale every 24 hours so you know how much your girl drinks aday. Then you can calculate your waterings. I used to do that until i could easily feel my pot is dry when i lift it up . Sorry for bad English
