I have four, 3.5 gal pots i'm using. The kids are 21 days old from germination, each are 8in. tall. as far as sex goes we'll see.. bushy as hell lookin real nice. everyother day i water each with 6 cups of my "solution" barely any h2o runs out the bottom. should i add more or just keep seeing how it goes for a bit?

you shouldn't water every other day. check the soil 2inches deep with ur fingertip and make sure it's completely dry. i usually water every 3rd day. i would water the plants until water just barely starts dripping out of the bottom holes

righteous also do i wanna make sure the whole surface is wet or mainly around my center stalk?

i usually water every part of the soil because the roots can grow out to every part of the pot. my plants had a really bad overwatering problem but since i've done this technique, i've never had an issue.

you want to water as needed, every plant is different, so to say every three days means nothing. Water as needed by weight of pot and a dry surface, just scratch the top and check the weight, when you dig, you just wreck the roots. Water until wet on the bottom, check with finger, or let run out the bottom. Water the middle, and it will decipate throughout the pot.
