When to water and what kind of water???

Okay right now I'm using Ozarka 100% natural spring water. I do have a water well at my grow area. Should I use well water or keep on with what I'm using. The ph of the well water is at a constant 7.0.. Also when do I water? My plant is about 1.5 weeks old
 
Either is fine, as long as your ph is good. As your plants like a ph of about 6.6-6.8, but some strains like a different ph, depending on where the strain came. But that usually isn't the case. What strain are you growing? And water also depends on the plant. A good test is to stick your finger down to your first knuckle if it's dry it needs water. Also, get used to the weight of your plants before and after watering, and you'll get an idea of when they need water. Usually every 2-3 days, but that also depends on how big your plant and container are! Bigger plants require more water, and smaller containers dry out quicker! Make sure your pot/container also has good drainage as you don't want and water just sitting there, it can cause root rot (which is no fun). If the water isn't draining then you need more drainage holes! When you water you want to make sure it runs out through the drainage holes, that way you know that ALL of the roots are receiving water. Also under watering Is as bad as over watering, it's very easy to over water and it's not good. As it drowns your plant, and deprives it from oxygen, which is VITAL for you plants survival and photosynthesis. If your using tap water then try to let it sit out for at least 24hr with no lid or anything if it's in bottles so that any chlorine or additives can dissolve. How old is the plant? Have you started a nutrient program or going organic?
 
Oh she's just a baby! She (hopefully fem) wont need any nutes for a bit still. Looks good so far! Is this your first grow?
 
Nope it's my first kush grow man. I've done 17 bag seed grows and this is the weirdest strain I've done so far. My profile pic is bagseed. And she is a female. I got 6 nordic jack seeds, 1 white widow x big bud, 2 lemon kush and 2 super skunk all femenized!
 
Right on! How many of those are you growing now? Kush is one of my favs, growing and smoking haha. I've got OG Kush, Purple Kush, Strawberry Kush, White Castle (White Widow X Ice) Bubblicious and a strain I crossed myself that I am calling Kushalicious! So any questions or concerns you have you can add me as a friend and I woud be happy to help whenever! That's good there fem. Saves ya the trouble of picking out males..my white castle are fem. And I haven't had any trouble but some people can if they stress em or mess with the light cycle they can turn hermaphrodite. But as long as you treat your girls right, you wont have any issues!
 
Today someone told me twice a week, but I've been doing twice a day as needed and they seem healthy so I dunno. But looking forward to seeing more responses.
 
I only water once every 8-10 days but I have alot of peat moss in my soil so it retains a LOT of water. I think its best to water a little more less often, so that the roots will "work for" the water and develop into a good strong root system. Alot of people go by the weight of the container (pick pot up when you havent watered in a while and it will be alot lighter than if you just watered) or stick your finger into the soil, alot of people like to water when its a little moist about 2-3 cm down. Its good to keep the soil moist but not too wet too often so that the roots can breathe. Hope your grow goes well, I miss kush Im gonna need to get some seeds sometime its my favorite.
