I am overwatering right?

[cheapestBrain]

I think I may be overwatering, its 2 weeks old last water was Saturday night not thinking of watering again til Wed night if I am over watering. But what do y'all the also do have a little burn spot

 

[JJ Bones]

How do you decide when to water?

 

[AZ007]

looks pretty dried, no?

 

[cheapestBrain]

Weight of the pot......over the weekend it looked dry so I watered a little and may didn't need too...???

 

[JJ Bones]

Are you watering until you get run-off?

 

[cheapestBrain]

No....is that my mistake?

 

[JJ Bones]

I always recommend watering until you get some run-off so that you know the entirety of the soil has been soaked.

Those are some pretty darn big leafs for a 2 week old plant


Looks like ya got a little defeciency going on... might be time to add a little feed !



A lot of time you can learn to water by weight of pot that is pretty easy as dry pot weight less than wet pots, but applying enough water to soak soil should lead to run off...

In less so dry that a wetting agent is required or you need to stand your plant pot in water for several hours to rehydrate !

I did this weekend that was the reason for the extra watering

Ok

 

[cheapestBrain]

So am I under or over watering???

 

[SWvoodoo]

From what I know a little of either is not so bad as long as its not reaching the point of wilting but the soil is given a short period of being "dry" between waterings to get some O2 to the roots then you'll be fine.

 

[cheapestBrain]

True

Short period like how long????

Fuzzy duck is right again, or at least in my opinion. There's a little deficiency going on there and yes, those be some big leaves in that momma!

 

[SWvoodoo]

Ok It depends how long it takes to dry. try to water when the pot weighs about half as much as it does after a good soaking. The top half an inch or so should be dry. It really is a matterof just getting the feel of it but just try to steer clear of either extreme for extended periods.

 

[cheapestBrain]

OK thx?......with run-off correct?

 

[SWvoodoo]

That's it dude water till runnoff dry to half that weight give or take no wilting and no watering when still moist.
