Hi there,
I looked on the forums but couldn't find an answer to my specific question. When it comes to watering seedlings I know you need to be careful with watering too much since their root structure isn't fully developed yet. But what does that mean exactly?
I'm growing 2 plants indoor and they are autoflowers so once the seeds started germination I put them in the final container and now they have sprouted from the soil. However now this part is still a bit of a mystery to me. How much do you water a seedling in a big pot? Watering till runoff seems like overkill for a seedling? So any advice on some guidelines on how to water seedlings in a big pot. Currently, since they literally sprouted a day ago, I just kind of mist the medium around it a bit so that it gets wet but I'm very careful so I don't think the waters going very deep into the soil.
The soil I'm using: 80% soil 10% perlite 10% coco. So think of it as mostly soil medium.
It's in an airpot so if I can use a moist meter in some clever way to make sure I'm watering ok enough (not too much but not too little), let me know!
Please share your wisdom with me oh Growlords
