you should water to 450g, and wait to water again until it is down to 75 or so. The wet/dry cycle... it is a good thing.
Thats would kill a Seedling.... I've killed seedlings with far far less water, it doesn't have a root system, soaking it would destroy it
not even remotely true. I do it all the time. Saturate that soil once the seedling has established itself, or doesn't swim around when you water. Then, wait for the plant to use all of that water before you water again. I didn't say keep that soil wet... it will take 5-7 days the first time for that plant to use that water, and every time you cycle through a wet/dry cycle, the roots get bigger and stronger and better able to use that water, and the time between waterings will steadily drop, until it gets to the point the plant can drain all of that water in ONE day... and then it is time to uppot to a container 3x as big as a solo cup, to start this wet/dry cycle all over again.
20% perlite is standard for cannabis
Wouldn't that stun an auto?
Yep I read it many times
why would water, the most common element on the earth, stun an auto? Use a mister for the first 3 days after a plant has hit the surface. Mist the soil lightly a couple of times a day. By this time the tap root will have hit the bottom of that cup and started to circle at the bottom, and you will find that with this anchor in place, the plant no longer tends to swim when you water. At this point, it is appropriate to water slowly so that you saturate the soil to runoff. Water does not harm plants if used correctly. Water the soil to runoff and then sit on your hands for 5 days, and let the plant use all of that water. This is what kills so many young plants with new growers of weeds... they are unable to wait 5 days without puttering with their plant, and watering it again. Watering too often is what stunts and kills plants... not watering correctly.
Reading it and following its advice are two different things. Water properly to runoff, trying to make the outer edges the wettest places in the cup. Establish a wet/dry cycle. Rapid growth will ensue.
still tho my question remains, because i fucked up even watering little. so i wanna do it by weighting, so. say i have 70g of dirt. i water up to what? 85? 90? and then when do i water again? (we talking about when i've just transplanted from the paper towel to solo cup)
soil.
