OK, so ive looked all over the forum and it seems to be everyones conclusion NOT to water every day. Does this hold true even though the soil is usually dry 10-14 hours after a watering due to my massive light? This would mean that, if i were to water at the same time two days later, they would have been dry for around 30-36 hours.... Is this ok?

Depends on the size of your pots. When in smaller pots you'll need to water more regularly. Sometimes the top of the soil can look bone dry, but when you stick your finger in a little way you can feel the moisture. A general rule of thumb dictates that if the soil is dry 3 inches down then you need to water again.

Get some bigger pots.

If the plant is drinking all the water then yes you can water everyday. Like Skunk said, get a bigger pot.

Simple solution. I think it is called a hydrometer. A tool that tests moisture levels in soil

The finger would be far cheaper.

yeah cheaper but the hydromter is much more reliable than a human, i got a cheap one for about 10 bucks, but i guess to each his own. I just know that i want the best for my babies.

Can't argue with that. I also want the best for mine, and as you quoted 'To each their own'. I'd rather use my eye and judgement especially as we have grown from seed as every plant truly is an individual and that is how I, we treat them. Everything is hands on, right down to mixing the manure into the soil, which we have done for about a third of our crop. The rest are in perlite mix. I want to veer away from the mechanical as much as possible. Aside from anything else mechanics breaks down, I don't even like using the lights.

I'll let you know how the bud grown in the manure tastes.

yeah im a big fan of the moisture meter too. Besides I dont want to get my fingers dirty.

im with skunk on the "mechanics fail" opinion. nature did it best and always will. but i think i do a pretty damn good job indoors haha

yeah i can see where sublime and skunk are on the issue, but widow.... you dont like to get your fingers dirty? lol. Well yeah nature has done some pretty amazing things, and everyone has their own taste. I'd really like to know what manuire bud tastes like, i mean ive grown tomatoes in in manure and they dont tsste shitty.
