Watering schedule

i dont bother measuring. water when the soil is completely dry and use enough to completely soak the soil
 
i usually water in every 3 days.each watering i just add a little of my vegge nutes, and once a week i feed it with my vegge nutes like it says in the bottle, i only just over dose it.
 
Figure out how much water it takes to cause 10% runoff at the bottom of your pot and that's how much you're supposed to water. Once watered, wait to see how long it takes for the top inch of soil to dry out(not bone dry) and that's how long you wait between waterings.

Scehdule isnt important, you need to be observant. Because it all depends on:

* how warm your grow room temp is, warmer room temp and the soil will dry more quickly, obviously.

* how big the pots are/how much soil there is.

* how big the plants are (how big the root system is) and how much they "drink".

You'll have to look at the soil, it should dry out a bit between every watering (otherwise the roots will rott), but not completely, and how the plants look (this is something you learn, and you dont learn it after one grow).
 
Alrighty thanks everyone for the feed back. Im thinkin every 3 days half gallon per plant. Also do you have to take breaks with adding nutes...as in every other waterin just do strait water then next time nutes and so on.? Im using fox farm big grow and i think if i wait every 3 days to water it should be fine using 2 tsp per gallon every time watered...is that fine?
