How do you guys determine if a plant is either overwatered or underwatered? Any tricks to notice the difference easier?
I find it hard to see/spot the difference between the two, and almost ruined #002 as you can see in the pictures of this week.

Starting Nutrient Feeding
Based on weekly comment: The cotyledons have dried up, is it good for me to start feeding nutes at 10% of the reccomended amounts this week? The soil is organic, and does contain nutes. I have doubts that the seedling has used much of it since the root system is still tiny.

Added to much Calmag on my first feeding
Did my first feeding today- of course I fouled it up. I added 3 tsps of CalMag to the gallon of water - rather than the 1/2 a tsp I decided on. I mixed the Calmag with Grow Big and Big Bloom- how bad was this error? Thanks in advance for some feedback.

Watering too much at once vs runoff?
‚Watering when soil is 2,5 cm dry‘:I read the soil should never be ‚swamp‘ wet after watering, yet I also read that the run off needs to be tested regularly - but watering till water runs off does make the soil muddy. Can there be too much water at once if the soil Is dry on top?

Tap water is 0.5 EC, and 8.1 - shall I get an RO system or can I use pH Down (using Canna Coco)?
Does my tap water with 0.5 EC, pH 8.1 warrant the use of an RO system with Canna Coco nutrients or shall I use Canna pH Down to bring it down to 6.3?
