Never let the pot dry out completely.Get used to what the pot weighs when it's just watered and when it starts to feel on the lite side then water it.Depending on your temps and humidity will make a differrence on how often you water and also they will need fewer waterings when there smaller and more watering as they get larger.I't takes a little practice at first but you will learn .

Not a problem @Foxhunter , we are the caring, sharing, warm and cuddly forum. Its called the AFN Vibe. We don't do nasty. Just gentle giudeing....lol.

Most of us have issues of one sort or the other. I am suffering panic attacks and anxiety at the moment, so I/we all have time and patience for each other. It helps to talk and not bottle it up.

Hey @Foxhunter and weclome to AFN my man
When growing in soil I go with the pot lifting method, if its light it needs watering. Once you have done it a few times in flower you can normally work out a timescale for each plant. At the start of a grow I do a pot weight test to familiarize my self with the weight of the pot unwatered. How dry you leave the soil is debatable but you don't want your plant to droop. Some say it best to time just right as the soil go's dry just before the plants have run out then water... pot lifting test. I water until about 10-20% -ish run off.
Hope that helps

Get used to lifting the pot with thumb/index finger to "feel" when watering is next needed. Water to some run off. Please resist over watering.
