Re: Watering amounts??
Hard to tell tbh as depends on the soil, the heat, etc. I learned a couple to 3 days is about right for my old setup. Poke your finger in and see how long they take to feel dry for the first inch or so.
Others are possibly better as I'm now a hydro grower tho :)

Re: Watering amounts??
500ml in a 12 litre pot at this stage is ok this is the stage you want the roots searching for the water this helps us to build a strong root ball system.
When feeding at the mo Iโd advise slowly feeding a ring around the plant over the next few days get em really searching about 4 inches in from the sides will be about spot on I imagine

That's basically what I've been doing, making a ring around the stem roughly 2 inch away โ

Re: Watering amounts??
Every feed just move the ring out about an inch wider and so on. All the works going on underground at the moment, healthy root system promotes healthier and bigger plants bro are you using just water ? Any root stimulant ???

Re: Watering amounts??
Yeah sounds about spot on to be honest buddy.
At this stage as smokey said your encouraging roots out and searching. Once they have filled the pot you'll be looking to drench it more.... but your edging closer to pics so I'll hold my tongue to say too much more

Re: Watering amounts??
In time you will learn to read the plants buddy they will tell you exactly what they do and do want/need, root stim generally works different to a regular feed nutrient, the root stim helps the roots to develop quicker and stronger again at this stage we are looking after whatโs under the surface as opposed to anything above it. Some use root stim some donโt I personally do as I like to think every little helps at this stage
