Hello, I am new to this forum however have been reading it for years. Just so you guys know i am very knowledgeable about growing marijuana as i have been reading for YEARS... I also have the bible.

anyways to my question.......

I have white widow seeds i purchased from a netherlands seed bank which are about 2-3 inches tall. All growing at slightly different rates. (Germinated 4, 3 came up). Started them in peat pellets and now transferred the pellets into small starter containers that the roots can grow through. I know i am not supposed to water too often but can someone give me a rule of thumb as to how much to water or somethin. I know the dry top soil rule but its hard to tell as the peat pellets are only like a cm down under soil... i put soil under and on top of the containers about 2 cm.


Also please let me know if something looks off... 400 watt metal halide/hps conversion (metal halide right now). its about 3ft above seedlings.

wanted to add that i have been watering via a spray bottle from hardware.. i have been watering like twice a day and i hear thats bad but every time i touch the top of the soil it seems pretty dry... i try to keep it rather moist to the touch whenever i think about it i spray it a few times

sry i was really baked when i typed that i got way too into it... i was just tryin to figure how to tell when to water when the peat pellets are in those containers basically... cuz it kinda makes the "feel the topsoil" way obsolete...

those pots are the kind that the roots can grow through.. so i imagine i wouldnt need holes? I just always get the feeling that i am overwatering so it scares me. Topsoil feels dry all the time tho... maybe because pots are so small i guess...

Home depot has a tri meter probe that takes moisture content, soil pH, and it has a thing that shows how bright your light is on a scale of 0 - 2000. Good luck

when they are very young spray the soil with a spray bottle..be sure not to spray the plant or it WILL TIP OVER AND DIE...i have had 1st hand expierence with that..when they get older water it 2 times every 3 days..towards the end of the flowering stage spray the plant itself..the roots tend to fail to bring in water towards the end of the plants life
