Watch her, she'll tell you when you need to water.

Depends on too many variables for any of us to give you a hard answer. (Humidity, temps, type of grow, strain, etc etc)
Just do a little research on here, but you can tell by the soil, as well as how she is behaving

They are right, you should let it dry some , if that was 4-5 days without water then you are currently looking at wanting to wait 2-3 days. That is where I was at in 2 gallons at month 1. As your plant grows it will likely go to wanting it every other day to every day.
how long has she been in the 2 gallon for ? and are you feeding nutirents yet ? looking at how fresh that soil looks she doesn't look like she needs more than what the soil has in it as far as nutes. I think I remember reading that FF OF can take you at least 2 weeks without need for nutrient water.

looking at my calendar at month 1 in 2 gal from transplant I was able to just water mine every 3 days (in roots organics soil though not FF OC) for 1.5 weeks and at that point I went to a schedule of nutrients and water (wait 3 days) light feed (wait 2 days) just water and repeat until it told me it wanted more.
Humidity and temps and air flow around the plant and pot will effect this greatly too but you will get a feel for it soon, I felt the same way.

i just transplanted from a 5.5 in pot to the 2 gal about a week ago, i have been feeding ever since they were about 2.5 weeks with a 1.6-3.8-6.8 base, a 2.8-0-0 grow part (it was the nutes used and recommended by the local hydro store) and i also supplement with Calimagic, floralicious plus and the root enhancer from general hydroponics. i feed every other watering.

I do have a moisture meter that i barely use but i guess i should start.... do i water whenever the probe says that the soil is dry about 2 inches down?

i mean a lot of people say that my babes will let me know when they need watering, but me as a noob I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE THE SIGNS I NEED TO LOOK FOR!.....

my temperatures lately have been about 82F during the day and about 70F at night. humidity ranges from 40-50% during the day and about 60% at night

i am not sure what strain my plants are, but i wanted to get a little experience with growing before splurging with the best genetics i could buy.

Thanks again in advance!!!!

Id guess it might be overload on the nutrients,foxfarm is pretty strong for young plants as it is and adding more nutes on top of that might be more than they can handle right now.
