Just trying to get a feel for how everyone waters theirs... Approximately how much water per plant every watering do you guys give your plants? 200ml per plant or what?

Thanks in advance.

It depends on the size of your grow container. I water until I see run-off from the bottom drain holes.

I'm not a good person to ask. I'm trying to dry out a couple of seedlings I over-watered right now. My answer would be "too much" ;)

water until see water draining out the holes. Weigh your soil dry and wet so you know how long it takes to dry. once your plants are a little older and you don't want to keep track of how long ago you watered just water when the plant starts looking a little bit droopy. Don't do this until they have their 4th - 5th set of leaves though. Remember, it's a lot easer to water a plant thats to dray because you have about a 3 day grace period of the planting needing (not 3 days from the last water but 3 days from the plant starting to look droopy) water before the plant dies.

If your growing outdoors its really hard to overwater, i would just give them as much as you think it needs.

Alright thanks. I'm thinking I'll dig my holes about 2 feet wide and about 3-4 ft deep...

One question I have though... When using nutes, it says to add a certain amount per gallon so thats why I'm wondering how much to water each plant... how do you guys do it with nutes? Do you give each plant a certain amount of water with the nutes and just mix it up in one giant jug? I don't really understand this part...

I would mix it into the water as per directions and then divide that between the plants,,if you are gorilla growing and cant carry a lot of water with you... but if close at hand then give the plants their usual amount of water with the nutes mixed in as directed ... :^)

Just buy a 8oz.bottle of Miracle Grow All Purpose Liquid.It works great.Switch to "Bat Turd Juice "during flowering.I recommend "Roots Organics"HP2 Bloom booster.And always add some "lime" to that dirt.

you dont need holes that big! unless your plants are 5ft tall! premix nutes and outside as long as theres no rain or rain coming water the fuck out of it!! rain days nature will do it for you!
