serious answer here! When they are finally growing cycle (ready to flower), they have plenty of water. You really can not over-watering at this stage of growth. And when they go to flowers, you water them almost every day. The only time you can really kill them with over-watering is when they are less than 1-2 weeks (from seed). Clones in rockwool cubes can not be over-watered because of the work of rockwool way. In the dust, you want to re-pot plants during their growth to build a good root system. Larger pots = more plants = more water. You do not mention if you are growing indoors or outdoors, in soil or in hydroponic tanks, but generally they use a lot of water. Assuming the dirt, a good general technique is to soak the soil until water flows to the bottom of the pot to saturate the soil ... then wait for the thumbs up or if the soil feels dry, then water again. If you forget to water the plants, they respond by wilting ... not Freak Out! Water them well and they tend to pop back to normal within an hour or two. You do not mention how you fertilization, but if you do not already have a system, start a very light fertilizer about 3 weeks in vegetables cycle. After one month, they should be sufficiently advanced for taking the time to normal strength fertilizer every other you water (nitrogen in vegetables stage). They are really a wonderful plant. smoking weed is not addictive. It is growth that's addictive!

The serious answer to your question is a lot. It is a tropical plant need a lot of water. It usually grows in swampy conditions, so make sure that the standing water in the pot. It also likes acid bog conditions so make sure you put a lot of acid fertilizer on it and mix the soil with lots of peat moss. As it is a toxic plant that he needs the toxins to produce a strong culture. Take used cigarette butts and soak them in water for a few days. Take water and water the plant with him. Do all this and it should do really well for you.
The charges are the weeds and have long taproots. But of course, in common with a plant, it depends on their size and extent of root system. I notice that someone says they like the drought but I do not think it is true that as far as I am aware most of the marijuana grown illegally in the United Kingdom is grown using hydroponic techniques which of course uses only water and nutrients.
Almost everyone who answered this question so far is an idiot.
What's wrong with you? He / She asked a simple question about watering her plants, why are you all these shocks? Well, this is the internet .....
<ahem> anyway ...
It depends on the size of the plant is, but most growers will water when the plant has somewhat faded. That the plant tell you what it needs, what kind of thing. If the surface of your soil / compost is dry, then it probably needs watering.
The guy who gave you the following response is to try to kill your plants:

Cannabis does not like standing in wet soil. It needs air and water. Cannabis is not.
