If your adding in a form of nitrogen to the medium that needs breaking down then yes bacteria can help. I 2nd LABS or lactic acid bacteria. however if your feeding a liquid nutrient regime then it is already available and does not need any breaking down and the addition of bacteria won't do much for how the plant absorbs the N, it might help in other ways in reducing shock or some other symbiotic relationship in the medium but for absorbing N not much. Less water till the plants get bigger, rot issue will start to from if its to wet and the medium will grow some nasty microbes if its left unchecked to long. Good Luck!

Hello my friend, adding beneficial bacteria will always help with breaking down the nutrients inside the soil faster in a for the plant available nutrient. I love it how you monitor everything and thought about everything! I am curious to see how this plant will go through all the different phases of the grow.

Beneficial bacteria are always a plus! I recommend lactic acid bacteria because it's easily made with rice washed water and whole milk. More growers need to use them! They said in nutrient uptake, break down organic matter, plant immunity, etc... Between that and JADAM microbial solution you'll be set.

Yeah its looks overwatered. Just chill and use less water. Roots doesnt like to have a contact with water all the time. Once roots feels lack of water, they got more oxygen which they really needs too. And, of course, thats makes them spread over the soil more efficient, just because of searching for water, like in nature. If ur using humidifier, just turn it off to make higher temp, which will dry soil faster. But make sure it wont burn that girl Dont do too much at this point, let her rest and u may add those bacteria. For nutrification is too early, use some roots booster now, but vege fert half of suggested dose when it feel better and start normal growth

Beneficial bacteria is always good in organic grows but not essential to add them. She looks good and healthy, be careful to not overwater. She doesn't need to much water at this stage and too much will freeze the grow. Let the roots breath some air and then water them for good, otherwise you will have root problems.
