naa dude i wouldnt reccomend watering until the water is running out the bottom, that means the soil is too saturated which makes it harder for roots to penetrate thru the soil, thus making the plants stunt in growth....
First Time Growing. Advice Would be Greatly Appreciated

cool man thanks, your girls look great too. looking very sturdy and healthy..i recommend training them like LST and topping...i did both methods, and they worked great..LST really brings up sideshoots and creates many tops and an even canopy...topping creates 2 more tops each top your cut off...i only topped once on one plant and this created 4 main stalks and really widened the fuckkkk out...way bigger yield for sure lol

I don't know who said it but you should definitely water your plants till it comes out the bottoms and then wait until the soil is dry to do it again. It doesn't become too saturated and isn't hard for the roots to grow through them. If that were the case, how the hell have these plants survived all these years without human help?? The reason to water until it leaks out of the bottom is because you want your roots to search for moisture. If you are just watering a little bit and not thoroughly the roots won't grow the way you want them to.
All these guys have given pretty decent advice except for that comment I read. For your first grow it is best to just keep it basic and simple. Once you have a couple grows under your belt then you should experiment with more advanced grow operations and different techniques.

You are completely right. Everyone has their opinion and who knows their method could of worked wonders, the only problem I have is giving false information. If you don't know what you are talking about then don't open your mouth. Plain and simple 
As for the guy that started this thread, Keep everything up...You seem to be doing a fine job. You aren't going to be perfect at growing your first time...just like anything in life, practice makes perfect. Don't take everyone's advice as some people are ignorant and think "They Know!" Just take it step by step and learn as you go. Good stuff so far if you need any help just ask I am subbed up so I'll be watching. Happy smoking

and umm your grow is pretty basic for the first one, I was just telling him what worked for me good and I dont know any other way, so from now on ill make sure I say ''this works real good for me but take it as that'' k?

My grow is VERY basic for the first one. And that is how I intended it to be. I have enough knowledge to go and make my grow room look like Dexter's Laboratory...but that isn't my goal. I wasn't trying to start anything I was just correct whoever made a false statement. You on the other hand nailed it on the nose. You don't have to do anything different aside from me all I ask from you and EVERYONE on RIU is to stop feeding people BS. (That excludes you haze, you didn't give him bs)
