Overwatering Seedlings Early

[justicebzwieg]

Tiny seedlings sitting in a full sized final pot are easy to drown, because the roots occupy a fraction of the soil while the rest stays soggy. A few tablespoons around the stem every day or two is plenty for the first week. When I wanted a sanity check on volumes, the watering schedule for the seedling stage on https://turboautoflowerseeds.com gave sensible numbers by pot size. Damping off from wet soil kills more autos in week one than anything else I can think of.
