  2. Looks like you've got a nice little setup going. You're plants are off to a great start! What kind of soil do you have them in?

  5. As a newbie, I'm a little worried about overwatering them. Do you think a litre of water for each plant, every other day?
    Let me know what u think or what you guys do!
    Cheers. 
     
  6. I'm not sure if you plan on using those nutrients while they are this small. If you are, I would advise against it. Let them grow on their own for a couple weeks. Once the lower leaves start to brown, go ahead and start using a little a time.

    I didn't have a strict watering schedule when mine were that young. However, letting the soil completely dry out IS good for the plants. Once it's dry, go ahead and water again then repeat the process. I wish I could be a little more specific but I wasn't precise with mine. They turned out fine though.
     
  7. I love your setup. How are the temps in the shed?
     

  8. Absolutely not. You water throughly and wait till its dry 2-3 inches deep. Use the method or the pick up method. Pick it up dry, pick it up watered. You water with a liter every other day and in a couple weeks you will have some dead plants.

    Plants are evolved to survive droughts not constant watering.

    Watering is actually the easy part in my opinion on growing MJ or any plant. Its your nutes, proper lighting, and heat issues that are the difficult ones.

    Temps run between 74-86'f day and and about a 8' drop at lights out.
    Running times are 1830-1230 lights on (18/6) lights out is during the day so the temp doesn't go to low and electric cost are low at night. 
     
  10. Temps are good if thats what there at. 86 is not ideal but it works.
