Indoor First time with dirt & First time with organics.

[AutoToker]

Hey guys! I haven't posted much lately, have had a lot of bullshit going on, but any who I'm back up and running in my 4x4x6 tent. If any of you have seen my previous grows you know I'm a full hydro grower, I've never touched dirt. Now things have changed a bit and I want an easier to grow method, because that RDWC is a bitch to maintain. So I have 10 Critical Jack babies at 2-3 weeks from seed, I just planted them in their permanent homes comprised of Root Organics Formula 707 dirt, 5 gallon buckets, the General Organics (Bio) suite of nutrients, and a 1K Metal Halide running right now. I have a few questions, first how often do you water? Do you always feed when you water? How do you know when you over/under water? That's pretty much all I'm concerned with, everything else should be the same. I'll post up some pictures later on tonight. Thanks a ton in advance!


Edit: Few more questions. I bought a dirt PH meter, is it cool to still leave the PH at 6.0? It also measures the dirt temp, humidity, and moisture levels. I have three levels of moisture, dry, normal, and wet, should I try to keep it at normal?

Water when the pots feel light.You can lift them after you water and feel how heavy they are then check them again and when they start to feel light they need water. Feeding is a personal thing and you will have to learn what your plants need.I feed a half dose of GO BOX nutes every other water until they reach flowering stage then I give them full recommended dose. Some people feed with every water but at a very week dosage.You will have to decide witch one is best for you. I don't know how good a meter you bought but I would raise the ph to 6.5 if you can and keep the soil moist or normal.:smokebuds:
