New Grower How much should i water my seedling???

[bawse103]

I am growing PKA, and I am on day 2. I moisten the soil 6 hrs before planting it in the 32oz cup, the other day.The cup feels light, and the soil feels dry, so how much should I water it right now? I dont want to over water it???? I am doing the tier cup method. Rn my 32 oz cup is half perlite, and half LW. Thanks!!!!!

My question was how much should I water it right now?

Keep them moist but not soggy. Seeds need moisture to germinate and once they sprout they have very shallow roots so it is important they do not dry out.

Learn the weight of you container dry and watered .... water by weight not looks.... pick each one up and water till they feel full or have water running out the bottom, dont re-water till they feel light..

I use the above method!

It will also keep the mice away!! Has anyone ever had mice eat,pull out steal seedlings?
