Hey everyone I have 12 day old seedlings in a 5 gallon and a 3 gallon. At what day. An I start watering full until run off. For now Iam using a spray to lightly mist soil till moist for I do not wanna over water. So good so far but I wanna know what day do I start watering until 20 % run off. Whole soil pot ?

In another week or so water slowly in a circular, outward radiating fashion to a slight runoff, not a percentage. Then layoff until pots are light. Plenty of air pockets stimulate root growth. You'll notice a difference in uptake in another two weeks.

The main root can hit the bottom of a 3 gallon pot in about 8 days..I usually start full watering end of week 2 beginning of week 3 depending how big she is, and I also give it a root booster for the first week half strength 2nd week full strength, this moby dick is around 7 weeks old 3 to 4 weeks to go20210102_185445.jpg

I usually just stretch my bottoms out and let nature take it course i don't top my autos some people do,, I only grow for myself so I don't need super huge harvests, but I'm always growing

The best advice I can give is, get a couple grows under you before you try different techniques, gotta walk before you can run, autos especially can be tricky, mistakes lead to yield loss, there isnt much time for them to recover when something happens, grow an auto, and grow a photo to see the difference, keep a journal a find what works best for you
