Growing 1 plant in fox farms soil under 100watt led light

Hey guys im new too growing pot and i decided too grow 1 plant in a 3 gallon bucket of fox farms ocean forest soil right know i am using a 100watt led grow light but i will upgrade this in the future
On 3/14/2023 i noticed my seedling sticking its head out of the soil so i turned on the led light and kept it 14 inches above the plant and dimmed the light to 50%.
On 3/18/2023 today my plant finally opened its leaves so i watered my plant with 60 oz of water i got a lot of runoff and i turned the led light on full power.
On 3/22/2023 i noticed my plant stretching a lot so i lowered my led light it used to be 14 inches above the plant know its 10 inches above the plant i was gonna water today but i decided not too because the bucket still has alot of water

If anyone can give me any tips on how often i should water a plant in a 3 gallon bucket or what nutrients too use etc please leave me a comment below

Water it when it ask for it. Feed it when it ask for it. The plant will tell you. If it's heavy it's not going to need water for a long time

Don't rush the feed that pot won't be dry by Friday I wouldn't feed for at least 3 weeks and when I did it be very little. Take the time to find the right product.

That seedling needs drops not ounces.

Seedlings only need a little bit of water. No reason to be adding that much until the roots have spread out. Just a little bit around the base of the plant for now.

On 3/27/2023 i watered my plant with a little bit of water just too make sure my little plant isnt thirsty

Looks good. Just try not to saturate the entire pot until it's grown a little bigger, and roots populate the pot.
Areas with no roots to take up the water will stay wet & throw the "Weighing the pot" method way off.
A shot glass or 2 of water should suffice. Giving too much can kill it this early in life, or at least stunt it severely.
Water with care. No hard pouring. Keep us updated.

next grow, get a small cola bottle and drill/make holes in it, and plant it along side your seedling, then when you first water it in such a big pot, your no washing nutes away from your soil and plant, water go's directly to where its needed

Hey guys on 4/02/23 i watered for the first time with 3 part micro grow bloom fertilizer i mixed 2.5ml of micro, 2.5ml of grow, and 2.5ml of bloom into 3 liters of RO water

I also replaced my 100 watt led grow light with a 240watt light from amazon

So far i have not noticed any nutrient burn on the leaves i will keep you guys updated!

Now that you are using fertilizers your next investment needs to be a ph meter and
a Ppm meter. These are crucial to determine the amount of nutrients and keeping ph in check
You got this
