I do think the next feeding I will give a lot more nutes.. from my understanding of the label I should do 15ML per 1L of water.. Last feed I gave 2.5 ml for a half gallon of water.

I'm thinking I'll give 10 ml at least next feeding

Well I believe that your initial watering was fine. If I am not mistaken, your supposed to drop the dosage for seedlings and gradually increase in small increments every 2nd-3rd watering. DO NOT hold me to it though.

That you are but with my second watering I gave a very fraction of the needed nutes. I'm gonna call the hydro store and ask about the directions.. As simple as they sound they really aren't.

I know. LoL. You don't want to end up destroying your girls. I think I am overwatering again or something is wrong with my soil. Are the cots supposed droop?

take a same pot and add same amount of dry soil. weigh it. then weigh your plant when you think it needs water. now water weighs 8.3 lbs a gallon or 2lbs a quart or 1 lb a pint or .5 lbs a cup. if you only have 1 cup water in a 1 gallon pot it needs water. if you have 1 lb water wait a day.

Ok. That was nice to know. Only thing is I have been watering with a spray bottle since seed. This is day 3 and I planted straight to soil. Very first day cots wanted seed off (cuasing it to limp over). I helped it by spraying it with water, waiting 15, and it was off. I noticed that right where the seed was holding on to the cots, were two tiny little slices on either side of the leaf. That exact leaf is droopy. The rest looks great though. Just that cot.....?

i only mist several times a day clones. till they get roots. every other day is enough if your humidity is high enough. seedlings like a bit above norm. so over 50%. you plant has to drink from roots. so it requires water for the roots to drink from.

is it in soil? does it have roots? if its in soil and has roots then no need to mist so much. unless your humidity is super low. unless you have a foliar spray for seedlings.

I have been misting 3 times a day ( 8am, 4pm, 11pm) everyday for 3 days.

Yeah I would say the same. I did it daily on my first seeds and quickly learned it was too much

the main reason to mist is to remove dust and such from the leaves so they can work better at turning light into energy. so misting 2 times a week is okay up till flowers start to grow then stop.

Please cross your fingers that my seeds come in today. If they're not here by Monday I'll have to do a tear down

Yeah, my humidity is always at 10% unless I mist as often as above. I can keep it between 30% and 55% that way. Mostly doing the lid, not the plant itself. Very lightly in the soil once a day. I have 2 sprouts. One is doing pretty good, the other not so much. I decided to experiment with the younger one (not so good looking one). Today I added nutes to it, 1/8th reccomended strength of Fox Farms Big Bloom. .75 of a teaspoon for a gallon. Watered lightly. Checked her a few min ago and definitely looks better. Straightened up and opened. Had been a closed cot for 3 days now. No nutes on the other one. Looks good as is. Will start on day 7 ( We are at day 5). Oh and I removed the lid on both.

Fed them today. Gave the two the remaining half gallon of tea from last week however I added 10ML of nutes and another half tablespoon of molasses. I might have over done it but I'm getting impatient. The recommended dosage of nutes was 20 ML.. last week was 15 but I only gave 2.5ml so I drastically increased them.
