50-55 rh is just fine. i veg clone and flower in a 40% room and really you dont need to get it higher than 55. if you still want to though buy a humidifier theyre cheap and effective. and no you dont feed seedlings they have what they need in their cotyledons once true leaves appear then you may think about feeding peace!

growing grannies last remark is flawed by the way they do need soil moisture plants take up water with their roots and release it through their leaves. thats the way they function and they need a healthy root system to do that and for that root system to establish itself medium has to be moist because roots dont grow into dry medium. overwatering is not giving too much water at once its watering too frequently. wait till your pots get significantly lighter before watering and youll be fine.

Couple of ways you can raise humidity - one is to hang wet towels in your tent - but the way I like to make SURE seedlings have as much humidity as they need is to soak a towel and encircle the seedling. This still gives them access to fresh air and yet keeps the air right around them high in humidity... As for nutes - I know you're growing at least one autoflower ... they don't like ANY nutes for about 2 weeks or so. When you introduce nutes to them, do it slowly - i.e., about 1/4 strength so you can see if they're tolerating them or not. Make sure all water you give your ladies (and nutes, when the time comes) is PH balanced to between 6.0 and 6.5. If you don't have a PH pen, I urge you to make the investment and get one NOW. It will make all the difference in the world to your grow. I like Apera because it's just as good as (if not better than) Blue Lab which, I guess, is considered the "gold standard" and is cheaper to boot. Don't overwater your seedlings... at this point, all they really need is that humidity! Good luck!

Okay, so I see you are growing in a tent. So rasing the RH will be very easy You have a few options. If you have a timer you can set up an exhaust and set it to turn on every 15/minutes out of an hr or 5 min out of every 30. Whatever works for you. Also if you have a smart intake you can set it up to turn on and off. But in guessing you don't. So, your intake set up as an exhaust and get a timer for it to come on just like I said you'll be able to figure it out Another way. Is to up the RH in your room the tent is in. This can be done very easily by closing that room door and after a few days RH will climb with the addition of a wet (damp) towel lay it on the floor spread it out so it dries quickly and it'll raise the RH in your room. Puttinh cups of water and all out really only work when you have heat in the 28-30 range and that's just too hot for seedlings so try keep the temps under 25c for most of veg and pre flower. Or hang a towel from the tents pole but on the floor around the base of the pots a damp towel will raise the RH. you want the range to be in the 60-70 and then after a few weeks go by you can start to bring that down until you hit 50% you wanna start bringing it down in week 3 with autos as they flip if things go well around the 4th or 5th with photos clearly you bring down when you flip. As for lighting. Autos love more light. So from seed to harvest you can pick. 18-6 20-4 or 12-12 but autos like more light so any of them. And you can have 20-4 for veg and say 18-6 for flowering or keep it the same right through as I am for my autos In regards to anything else If you wanna talk turkey feel free to message me in the lil arrow on the bottom right hand corner. Good luck..
