Going to repot into a 26L pot, have been feeding 40ml so far of feed. After I move it too the new pot do I use just water to keep the soil moist and then add in a little bit of feed afterwards? I'm u sure of really how to water/feed.
Hello my friend, because you use coco coir you always need to feed because this medium does not contain any nutrients from itself. You can use a light nutrient solution with EC 1.0 and ofcourse pH 5.8
So you're using Coco as a growing medium and that's a little tricky for first time growers because you have to pH it properly and pre load it with nutrients before hand. I recommend starting with something easier like promix HP or Coast of Maine. A more well balanced soil that you don't have to add everything to.
That being said if you're going with the Coco, you're going to have to properly pH your medium with loaded nutrients for early vegetation. A ppm of around 200 and a pH of 6 is what your Coco should be at before you transplant into it.
Good luck brother.
If transplanting into fresh, quality soil. fertilizers may not be needed for the first 3 weeks or so.
Transplantng and feeding immediately is a no-no...........wait at least 5 days for the plant to settle and recover from the transplant shock if using anything other than good quality soil.
Soaking with seaweed (kelp) extract before transplanting, then watering the fresh transplant with seaweed extract afterwards can help minimize any transplant shock.
@Nebula999, it's sometimes a bit windy but we live in a town house and put it in the courtyard so it's fairly sheltered we have already been putting it outside on days that arnt super super hot, she doesn't seem to mind the sun

Yes the first couple weeks you just wanna water it may the third sett of leaves a good time to start feeding it I would just put the water and make sure it warm and get a spray bottle even when your not watering it give it a couple sprays keep it happy
You could maybe try to Straighten that stem out with a piece of garden wire hooked to your pot with binder clips or clothespins! After a few days your plant will begin to straighten itself out and you can remove the wire!
