Wuts up everyone im new 2 this website and im into my first every grow bout 4-5days now.

so heres wut im dealing with i germinated my seed and put it into a 4" tall 4 1/2" wide lil pot. im also useing miracle grow moisture control potting mix. i watered it so far by useing a spray bottle and just giving it 4-5 sprays on the top every few hours, 3days it sprouted "Yay" its been a day since it sprouted n its a nice lil guy bout 1/2inch tall. Im just really worried im gunna under water it or over water it. today i watered it by just taking a straw n putin it n a cup and holding the top with my fingure n leting the water slowly come out the straw nxt to the plant makin sure i wasnt gunna hurt the lil dude. But i guess im asking 3 questions

1. How often should i water my baby

2. how much water do i give "her" lets hope, every time i water her. 2oz 4oz 6oz?

3. And how should i give her the water, lyke sticc with the straw? or spray bottle or wut do i use 2 pour the water.

oh you should use a dropper to drop it and in a regular bucket half full of dirt you shoudl use approximately 20,000 droplets of water.

I would water it when the top 1/2 inch dries out. At the same time it is important not to let your plant try out especially because it is so young. I have never grown with miracle grow moisture control soil so I cant say for sure. Water it ever to every other day with 4-6 oz of water via a watering can or a simple cup. You might be able to go more like 3 or 4 days due two the moisture control aspect of your soil. Stick your finger down about an inch or so and see if it is dry if it is water. The only time you will have trouble with overwatering is if your water and never let the top dry out (like watering 5 times a day). Feed it water with a PH of 6.5-7.0 or add Fine Dolomite Lime if you can find some. If you dont have any ph testing tools them don't worry just give it tap water. Remember it is a weed so it will grow if it has light, and water. You don't need to worry about nutrients for a while because your using miracle grow.

I have heard that letting the water sit out will take out some of the chlorine but i dont think it will change the PH. Tap water should be fine my tap water PH is about 7.1. You can continue to let the water stand out before water if you want but it is not neccesary.
