Day 51 (12/17): starting to spot some deficiencies, so I fed plants again last night. 5mL of micro 10mL of bloom. I might end up adding some extra calmag next time. I will probably increase my doses to 8mL and 16 mL. Day 52 (12/18): plants mostly look good. Some curling on a few upper leaves. Might be from the light or might be from a deficiency, not sure at the moment. Day 53 (12/19): plants are looking good. Buds are definitely getting bigger on both plants. The left plant is starting to fill out nicely. The right plant has already been pretty filled out. Plant on the left is definitely having a good bit of yellowing. Will probably add some calmag to my next plain water feeding. Next time I feed nutes I'll keep it the same for this plant and raise the dose on the right plant. Day 54 (12/20): 11:30pm. Just did my 2nd straight nute feeding. I've been alternating this whole time but I think I may have caused a deficiency in one of my plants so I decided to do 2 in a row this time. Plant 1 (left) 5mL of calmag, 5mL of micro, 10 mL of bloom. Plant 2 (right) 5mL of calmag, 5 mL of micro, 12 mL of bloom. This plant seems super resilient, so I decided to up the bloom a little. Eventually I plan to be giving it 8mL of micro and 16mL of bloom. Fingers crossed and let's see how they react in the next few days. Day 55 (12/21): plants look fine today. Not noticing any negative effects from doing 2 feedings in a row yet. I plan to do plain water next time with maybe some calmag or molasses added so they are still getting something. Day 56 (12/22) plants look good this morning. Leaving town for a couple days. They'll need water when I get back. Day 57 (12/23): plants looks great when I got home today. They will need a watering tonight. 8pm: water the plants with 5mL of calmag.

Bigdaddybluestarted grow question a year ago
What is the best way to water a pot of this size? It seemed like it nearly took the whole gallon before water started coming out the bottom. What amount of water will I be using in a week or two when I do my first initial watering?

You can use the finger test and actually pick the potter up to judge its weight. 1 gallon of water is 8 lbs. So you will notice a considerable difference between wet and dry substrate.

I dump 2 liters of water in a 3 gallon fabric pot and that seems to wet everything nicely. Plants are happy and in need of water every 3 days. For 5 gallons, try 4 liters of water. If you want some runoff then maybe 5 or 6 liters. Depends on how you apply the water too. If you just douche it in fast you'll get some that leaks through the fabric and out the sides. Pour it in more slowly and it will penetrate the soil better and more evenly. If you are growing Photo Periods i would not plant a germinated seed into a 5 gallon pot right off the bat. You'll likely over water it and kill it. If it's auto's you intend on growing, you won't need a 5 gallon pot. 3 gallon is a much better size for auto's because they don't grow a huge root mass. Your roots will likely never touch the sides of your 5 gal pot or the bottom.

About to do my first water, 7 days in with seedlings. Using mother earth terracraft soil. 70% soil 30% perlite. How much should I water? Should I water till run off or much more lightly? Keeping temp and rh around 75. 5 gallon pots. Don't want to over do their first water.

I was recommended to use 500ml water in a ring around the plant, about the width of the leaves, until big enough to fully water the whole pot.. but Iโ€™m really just here to wish you good luck with your grow because I have overwatered and stunted every single plant ever started in a too big pot and Iโ€™m afraid of autos now

Hi bro, hope you enjoying your grow so far ๐Ÿ˜1 week without water at all? I would recommend you to start with approx. 100-150ml around the seedlings and moist entire pot surface with bottle sprayer. Keep spraying the surface every couple of hours and keep watering every 2-3 days. Keep humidity above 70%. Hope this help. Best of luck โœจ๐Ÿ€โœจ

Big pots for a small plant(I know....autos) will wick moisture away from your small root zone. Small frequent watering in a small ring around your plant is probably the best way to start. Increase as growth accelerates. Once your plant is big enough to truly be "feeding" is when you're gonna want to water until you get runoff.

@Herbie101, thanks. I'm sure it's going to be an interesting experience. I'm sure I'll learn a lot. Seeds are about to go into soil.

Coming along nicely. The plants will tell you when they need water. Droopy leaves is sign of over watering and additionally under watering. As seedlings they need very little water and over watering can stunt their growth. Try and aim to water every two or three days depending on relative hungry, temperature etc. Pop me a message if you ever have any questions, Iโ€™ll be happy to assist. ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’š Cheers, Golden ๐ŸŒž

@Bigdaddyblue, well not feeding GH grow definitely seems to be working out for you! Everything seems super healthy โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿฝ๐ŸŒฑVery interesting... I'm growing hydroponics (coc/perlite only) so I'm using all the trio of course.. I'm not worrying about nitrogen toxicity as I'm giving low dosages, and keep my EC low (through the entire grow btw, I never go above 1.4-1.5) And yes you're right about letting your soil get dry a bit, just make sure you doing some runnoff a bit to dismiss any salts build up โœŒ๏ธ๐ŸฝโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿฝ

@1_Plant_Wonder, I also wait 4-6 days between each watering, or until the pots feel light or until the plants look like they might droop soon.
Bigdaddyblue
Bigdaddyblue
@1_Plant_Wonder, I am using General Hydroponics micro and bloom and calimagic. I didnt use the grow because I heard about how easy it to get nitrogen toxicity. I've only fed twice, first feed was 1mL per gallon of each. 2nd feed was 2.5 mL per gallon of each. I assume I will be upping the bloom here soon and trying to use more of the traditional lucas method. Using mother earth terracraft soil, it seems to be great, not too hot.

@Crashoverite, thanks! Also thanks for the comment on my grow question. I didnt feed them for a week because I pre watered my soil before planting them. I also kept misting the top soil everyday very lightly. I gave them their first water last night and weighed my pots so I know when they are dry again.

Good run for the the first time. I can see you learned alot from this grow. Yes in the start it can be tricky with the watering. But in general I would say, you watered to much in the start. Also for the next run. Look up VPD for different stages of the plant. And DLI is also a important thing to know, when you grow. The is recommendations for how much DLI a autoflowers should in the different weeks. Keep growing and learn. ๐Ÿค›๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค˜

@Dakaka, thanks. I followed vpd and DLI throughout this whole grow. Good things to know forsure!
