Should I up the water?

[Jhuck]

Nfsot so I read when watering I'm larger pots after two sets of leaves, you can soak the top a bit, is the same true in cups, should I up the water a little, I have just been misting the top about ten pumps, twice a day.

Should always fill the cup to the brim.
Amount/frequency of watering is going to totally depend on your soil tilth.

 

[Jhuck]

Even with a seedling?

 

[Nunyabiz]

Yep

 

[Koolbudz]

keep misting

keep misting

I was already following a guide that kinda made me think that, this cat sounds wild with fill it to brim every time.

Hold the presses, first these questions should be on main faq page not growers lounge, but that’s cool - you didn’t know so no biggie the mods will move them Growers lounge

next the fill it up part means fill the cup with soil not water, your seedling is growing in an air vacuum, air doesn’t move properly across the surface of the soil since cup edges prevent it.

Oh ok, now I get it, thank you.

I honestly thought he was telling me to fill it to the brim with water every time , thank God I'm not a leming. And a bunch of dumb shit I read gave me the impression you left like an inch.

Ohhhh, shit now I see , I guess a lot of the soil must have washed out. It was like one inch from the top.

Surprised I didn't notice this in person, what can I do now? Go ahead and throw it in a bigger cloth pot?

 

[Jhuck]

I was so transfixed on whether the leaves were moving

Dude, with SOIL. LOL
Never even occurred to me you were talking about water.

Ah, no worries people…. it’s all good, we back each other up

I agree about continue misting, carefully. Also see Nunyabiz post #2, fill up the cup with more soil next time. Too little soil in the cup creates walls around the seedling- less air circulation means soils will remain wet longer and could lead to seedling damping-off.

Yeah it was almost to the tip, I guess a lot washed out? Anyhow I trimmed about an inch off of the cup, it is flush now.
