Noob needing help please!

Hey guys I am growing in soil and have two seedlings that have popped up.How many times a day do I water them?The soil is Miracle Grow do I still need to add Plant food or will the Miracle grow soil be good enough? thanks for any comments I appreciate it!

dont use nutes yet. the soil is allready rich with it.i'd say wait atleast 3 weeks until you start feedin em.
and dont water everyday bro, only water when soil is dry. the top soil gets dry pretty quick so dont just scratch the surface. put your finger down about 2 inches and check if the soil is damp. if it isnt, water. water very little too. water until a few drops drains through the bottom.

man i went throug smae prob, get some better soil, MG is great for tomato's not so much for herb.
you need to let em go for 2 day without water then lift bucket or use a scale, feel the weight, then water them and feel the difference try to keep that going.
also i was watering every day!, biig mistake as it caused water damage.

i also started adding a weakend nute solution during the second week. they reacted badly to this from the yellowing and burning. so i dialed my waterings back to once every other day and they have recoverd and all look much healthier since then. short answer every other day.

and the fact that they are seedlings means they are gonna need alot less water.

i water these 2 every other day, each get a a 20oz bottle of water that has sat out to let the chemicals settle. these girls are only 7 days old

the stems are a little weak but still doing decent, im watching the stem for rot and just giving em the 20 oz waterings, . hope this helps man, every other day worked best for me. ps they dont need nutes till 2 weeks earliest. soil/ h2o thats what they want right now

it depends how big his pot is on thw watering question. small pot = water more frequent. large pot = water less frequent.

and if your stem is weak, you could have a fan blowing on it or snap the stem at the bottom. just pinch it until you hear a crackelin sound. this will damage the stem, but when it uses its energy to recover from the injury the stem bounces back twice as thick and strong.

better make sure you dont have the moisture control or timed release MG or watering will release more nutes than expected and burn and kill your plants.

I use Ocean Forest so I dont have that problem.

duur, cant believe i forgot about that... when they were in little potting cups i was watering alot more frequently. like 3 times a day, till there was runoff untill day before transplat. thanks for the correction Stinkmeaner

I have to diagree and somewhat agree with you there. I have used MG moisture control for acouple of grows and they never harmed my plants.... Yes the MG might give your plants a small amount of burn if you do not add a mix to the MG and over water your plant. I use MG moisture control and Vermiculite mix and never had a plant die on me ONCE! Maybe you had a bad expiernce or something with MG but alot of people still use it and get great results. Im one of them. Good Luck And Happy Growing!

Indogrower is that your candybag avatar? if it is, how many plants you'd have to grow to get THAT sick ziplock?
