Seeds and watering

I know the one thing ive learned is there isnt consistency from one persons program to the next. I do however want to know what peoples watering schedules are for seedlings... Mine are about 2 weeks old (i usually work with clones that are established). They are about 6 inches tall and look nice but they keep getting droopy .. I honestly think its underwatering and Im doing it every other day it seems. Im just curious if anyone has week1, week2, week3 schedule they use as a standard for theirs. Any help is awesome. Thanks in advance.

I had my seedlings on a windowsill for a week and watered them twice and with not very much I then transplanted and put them into my tent, I had heat issues for the first week, I watered them until I saw a good amount of water draining through the base of my pots and left them to dry out, this was yesterday, they look dry on top today but 2 inches or so down the soil is still moist so I'll check again tomorrow and will probably end up watering them too. A good tip is to weigh the pots after a good water and when they are dry or at least pick them up to gauge the weight, then when the pots revert to around the weight they were when dry they need watering. Good Luck dude. :peace:

Pics would help allot!
I water when the soil is dry, marijuana plants deal much better with drought then they do being over watered.
Also roots that are always wet wont grow very well, they need a dry period so they search out new sources of water creating a nice root ball.
Personally I go by pot weight to tell if they need water, once you get a feel of the weight of a watered pot and a dry pot its pretty easy to tell when to water.
You could just stick your finger down into the soil 2" or so if it feels wet let it go a few days, if its moist let it go a day and recheck it, if its dry water.
I water my plants 2-3 times a week so about every 3 days or so but so much depends on the conditions in your room its something you have to figure out for your self.
