Sharing is Caring...first time grow: LED, soil, feminized Northern Lights

Appreciate it Laughing Grass, having fun with it!

Can I get some feedback on my watering regimine? I've been watering each plant 24oz every 2-3 days and my most recent watering I upped it to 36oz (around 1L). Should I wait to soak the whole pot (water till runoff) until the leaves reach the outer edge of the pot? I know you don't want to soak the entire pot when there's just a lil seedling but I also don't want to inhibit growth if they could drink more.

I can't really help much I've only done hydro. Someone here should be able to offer some advise.

Dried flower weigh in: 246g

Goals for 2nd Grow:

1) More efficient use of grow space and light...more bud sites/longer veg period
2) Consistent morning watering schedule
3) Pay closer attention to plant during transition and flower...selective pruning, nutrient needs, led height

.86 grams/watt is a good harvest especially for a first grow.

A few suggestions:
(1) Plant your seeds directly into your wet soil (Touching them less often reduces the chance of an infection causing damping off).
(2) Once they have sprouted run your lights 18/6 (sleep cycles are important as @min0r said)
(3) Take clones in case you happen upon a jackpot pheno.

You made a good choice in first seeds starting with Nirvana. They are hardy well known genetics. I started with them as did @cannabineer

Did you feel the earthquake?

Thanks for the input! Nirvana is cool and their user friendly website sold me (I was lucky enough to visit Amsterdam which is what drew my interest initially).

2nd grow is underway with 4 OGK fem from Nirvana...I soaked the seeds overnight and all 4 began to show a white tip so I transferred to soil. 2 sprouted within 36 hours and look great (First day in soil is 6/30). The other 2 have popped but are straggling behind (maybe something to do with the transfer to soil?)

Anyways, trying out 4 plants instead of 5 to give each lady more room and contemplating topping 3 times instead of just 2 twice like the first grow.

PS. Did not feel the earthquake which is odd because I felt a couple this past spring
