So my first grow was with clones, now I'm starting my own from seeds that I ordered , what is a good watering regiment for new plants. I've got a watering system I can use but not sure of how often they should be watered and for how long the water should be on for the watering. Anyone have thoughts

I'm a beginner so I maybe be I'm wrong idk..just speaking on my experience. I don't use a schedule. I feel out what the plants needs of that makes sense.. I got a small grow going 3 plants . I water as needed , I check the soil , see how the leaves look. I water one to 2 times a day..not alot . I'm going on week 10 got 12/12 lights going.. the way I'm doing my plants are working great for my plants..from what iv been reading, and talking to amazing people on here. My opinion is each plant and grow is different..my tip is get to know your plants and get in tune with them. I talk to mine and play music for them . they really love it .I water till I see water coming out from the bottom..for me until i see a small puddle then i stop . usually first thing in the morning then again in the evening.
Sometimes only once that day and then spray the leaves..

Ya that's kinda how I've been doing it as well but I've also been told to be careful doing it that way cuz it could cause mold to grow . I've just started a new 3 plant grow myself and been watering about every other day depending on how the soil feels and the humidity in the tent is a little but it's about 40% give or take. I was just kinda wondering if even using a watering system was even worth the trouble.

Dude, you ignored the most important question, which is what medium are you growing in? You're not going to get the best advice if people don't know what is in your pot. For example, unamended coco is very popular now and takes a completely different watering protocol than traditional soil does, so you wouldn't want to water it like you would soil and vice versa.
