Watering

[HellValley]

Question on watering. Plants are 2 weeks old. Should I be watering just around the plants in 5 gal pot or should I be starting to water the entire pot till run off. Running a promix all purpose mix with added perlite and vermiculite. I have only been watering every 3 to 4 days. Today I watered about 3 1/2 cups just outside of the plant leaves diameter. The medium around the edge of pots is pretty much completly dry. Attached pics of 2 of the 4 plants. Roughly largest and smallest plants. I added nutes today for first time. How often should nutes be added to water.

Why are they in such large containers? 3-1/2 cups for plants that size is probably too much in those containers. Are these autos?

I use my 60ml syringe i water a 3-4 inch diameter around plants leaving the very center dry if possible

Also i water every 2-3 days. Its usually much dryer at the point and takes water well

Yes all autos. Planted in them from seed

Since they are so small in large pots you should continue to do what your doing in giving them small waterings right around the plant. I would do 3 feeds in a row followed by straight water.

You should plant in jiffy cups or small containers first and transplant 2 times.
This makes the roots go looking for water/moisture and gives you more roots which equals more yield
I go from small pots to 6L then into 20L fabrics to finish.
