how much to water seedlings?

Hi,

I used Solo cups to start some seeds. Just got a baby sprout on the first one today. How much water should I be using to water them each day? I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest/Light Warrior/Perlite mix in solo cups with an additional 1.5 inches of Perlite onthe bottom of the cup.

Can anyone help me with this? Should I water them daily, and how much? They are indoor and in humidity dome with 4 100w CFL 6500k lights from WalMart.


Thanks!

Okay, that helps. I was thinking I should water them every day. Every other day, checking soil with my finger for moisture. Does that sound about right??

Thanks,

Sounds good. You'll see a in no time

Post some pics too man

I say DO use tap water as it contains many trace minerals like copper and zinc that the plants require. The small amount of chlorine that is in drinking water will have zero adverse effect on your plants but if you are worried you can let your water sit for 24 hours and the chlorine will evaporate and you will still retain the trace minerals.
