Plants: Plants are a couple inches tall but seem a bit fragile looking. Just in the last couple of days a new set of leaves started to appear so they must be doing ok so far. Growth is slightly slower than I was expected but not sure if this is normal growth for these plants. Given they are outdoor, in cool weather with limited direct light, perhaps this is fine. Weather: Beginning of the week was slightly to moderately overcast so not much direct sunlight. Last few days the sun has been out all day so they are getting the best light they can get for this season. I repositioned the pots so the plants get maybe 30min more direct light each day. Water: Last week primary used the mister to keep the soil around the sprouts damp, but not too wet. This week did same, plus poring some water directly on stem to soak in. Also starting to add perhaps a quart of water a day to the bottom of pot with the hope that the roots will good deep to pull water up to plant. Plus every other day I'm pouring water around the rim of pot hoping this will help the roots spread out as well. No clue if this is the right thing to do, as I'm totally making this up as I go. I've read that I should not use any fertilizer for first 20days, so while I did put a tiny bit in one water sprayer I've not yet used it. The soil already has fertilizer in it, so this should be fine. Wish i knew what the roots were doing. I'm not sure if these pots are too small for the entire grow, or at this point if they are too big for the seedlings. Time will tell. Grow limitations: Growing outdoor on condo deck that's covered so only 3-4hours of direct sunlight per day. Planted and moved outdoors once seeds sprouted. Started in January during very cool wet weather for first 2 1/2 weeks of grow.

watering around the edge works; sounds like you're doing it right so long as you're watering thoroughly yet infrequently; letting it dry out up to your knuckle etc. w/r/t pot sizing, you can't hardly go wrong with some like 3 or 5 gallon fabric pots and some perlite to go with your soil 50/50. transplanting autos can be touch and go but might still be worth it once they've grown into this pot. liked and followed!

@Jaindoh, Being a total noob, not sure what perlite does for the plants. Better drainage? I've just used 100% soil so far. In terms of watering, glad to hear edge watering is a good thing. Was thinking bottom watering would help the tap root go deep into pot, but not sure how much water to use. I put about 1liter at a time in the pan and the soil sucks that up quickly. Last 4-5 days been using most of water from bottom and maybe 1/2 liter around edge every other day. Yesterday did bottom water plus a bit at stem. Today was planning on bottom watering only as soil is damp. Going to let top dry out a bit for next couple of days and just bottom water.
