Seedling question

Give em some water if the cup is dried out but they're probably fine. Get them into 6 inch pots and follow normal water schedule.

Marijuana likes a wet to dry cycle of getting soaked then drying out completely. Once you get into a pot you can check the first few inches of soil with your finger. If it's bone dry then water. You'll also know when things are dry b/c the pots will be light as a feather compared to when the soil is moist.

Seedlings don't need to dry out completely and u should never let ur plants dry out completely either it kills the feeder roots on ur oot system and lessens ur harvest

absolutely, in his case however I think he is more likely to overwater than underwater. I'd like him to skip the cup step all together and go right into 6" pots.

also what I stated is conventional cannabis watering procedure. You can let your top few inches dry out and then water. you can also have the pot get light. As long as you're on top of it's you're not going to kill any feeder roots. I think the feeder roots start searching for water.

Anyone on this site is so on top of things that I bet hardley anyone underwaters. It's all overwatering or overfeeding.

I would put them in 6" pots but sadly I don't have any. When then Get 3-5" I'll get some from walmart and transplant. Thanks for the advice.

I'd say the longer you wait with those long, narrow wax paper cups the more difficult the transplant will be. The soil at the bottom will fall apart during transplant exposing new roots if you wait too long.
