Here's the part I'm coursed on though. If you're saying let it dry I'm thinking spray water over a few times. But you're saying 4 oz of water in an 8 oz cup that seems like a lot of water. However much water I put in is not nearly enough to even leak through the bottom holes. So is half the cup fill of water considered sufficient or just a few sprays so the top layer feels moist?
Ps I have a plastic cup on top of the cup as a dome and it's moist but I'm not sure how well the water is falling back down.
If you guys have any good resources or youtube videos showing watering or the seed at a stage where it hasn't even risen out of the soil please let me know.
since it hasnt broke soil misting will suffice, just make sure its wet for the most part, id water with an oz or so at this point since moisture isnt going to be absorbed by roots, use a pencil to dig down next to the seed to see how far the moisture goes, it should be wet at least like 2-3 inches down.
once she breaks the soil just let her dry out and dont spray too much, foliar and a dome take focus away from root focus since theyre feeding with their leaves more, same concept with letting clones harden off. and yeah, about half the amount of the pot is fine once theyve broke soil, maybe a little less, there should be some run off through the bottom. let her dry out almost completely, the leaves should droop slightly after theres no water(and right after a water), you want them to search with their roots, keepin it too moist will attract gnats and isnt good for vigor and root growth.
