I didn't add anything to my soil(pearlite, vermiculite, nutes), BUT I bough the best stuff the local nursery had. It boasts hi drainage, but has spagnum pete(sp) to retain moisture.
Man, I though I was the worst waterer. I did the opposite and let my pots get almost totally dry...then the 1st set of leave tips got white and crispy looking. So I basically watered them that day, and only 1 time sonce then. I am around day 12 maybe, so that worked out to watering ABOUT once a week..for me. But everything will have an effect, temps, humidity, soil used...do you cover your pots when under light?? Mine seamed to retain water better when covered.
All I want to impress on you is that there is no magical timing to water your plants. You may have to water 2 times a week, or even 1 time every two weeks...all depends on your factors bro! I'm still learning too, and having a blast doing it...hope you are not getting frustrated...if so, take a break, roll up somehting nice, and dream up your next grow idea!
damn...I type too much, so sorry
