give them water when they feel lightweight.

In general, when the soil about two inches deep feels dry, water so that the soil is evenly moist but not so much that water runs out the drainage holes and carries away the soil's nutrients. After a few trials, you will know approximately how much water the pots can hold. Marijuana cannot tolerate a soggy or saturated soil. Plants grown in constantly wet soil are slower growing, usually less potent, and prone to attack from stem rot.

I disagree on one point. you do want some runoff from drainage holes. Helps keep the salts from building up in the soil. You can always add a little bit of nutes.

Agreed. I run mine til the trays start fillin up. That way I also know the whole plant gets watered. I have never had a plant show problems from over watering with this method. You just dont want to pour so much it overflows the collection tray. Thats when you know its too much h20

As the previous poster said you don't want the roots growing together. The sooner you separate them the better.

once they are established like that, i water until i get one or two drops coming out the bottem. no reason they need to be "flushed" yet. thats just a waste of nutes.
i agree, seperate them asap! their roots are going to tangle soon.
