seedling stage question

[pop]

hi i was just wondering if anyone could tell me how often i should water my plants . they only have 4 leafs and some are slowly starting to grow . they are only 4 days old and are feminised seeds. i am not sure because i made a mix of soil,perlite,pebble stones and also i put a lair of pebble stones at bottom of pots so i am hoping it should still be able to s**k up the water with that there or am i wrong? when should i see a difference in them as it is boring watching them lol.

i have a grow tent,extractor fan,fan and a 600 watt hps light. i have never grown with pearl pebbles before so not sure how it works.

the temperature stays at 29 to 32 oC so i know that is ok range but this watering thing baffles me because i am worried i could over water them with the pebbles through the soil mix.

Hey, the first week is pretty un-eventful as far as growth. You got the bad case of watching them grow going on. We are all guilty of that.
Just be patient and watch for any spots or yellowing. Do not overwater either. Its very easy when checking in on them constantly.

does the clay pebbles hold alot of water for them and if so how long because i was gonna try watering them and leave them for 3 days and water again. would this work

The clay pebbles won't hold water for longer than about a half-hour. Perlite holds a little more but still not much. The only thing that'll hold any of it would be the soil, however much you have in there. You'll have to toy with them a bit and find the happy medium.
