This is a Royal Jack Auto from RQS. The plant is 13 days old from seed. I have prewatered the soil(Biobizz Light Mix) before transplanting on day 5. I have only sprayed a little water around the plant but never really watered properly. I have 9L Fabric Pot and Biobizz Nutri

coco? feed every irrigation. 10% runoff waste water to maintain equilibrium in substrate. stop spraying the top soil. that's a undebatably bad practice. When you irrigate, you irrigate the entire substrate. No dry pockets! You then simply wait for the water loss to accrue to a minimal point and repeat. For any non-seedling or non-cutting, wait for the top layer of coco to start to change color. Feel the weight of the pot. These two things correlate. Now it's safe to irrigate again. If you ever see the plant wilt, this is waiting too long. Feel the weight.. avoid getting "that" light in future but always make sure some minimal amount of drinking has occured. Easy-peasy. A good wet-dry cycle early on promotes more robust roots and deeper roots. spraying the top of the soil promotes superficial roots that once exposed to light will be useless stems at top of substrate, as they will not remain roots for long. Later on in flower if you want to take advantage of a well-sized plant to pot (rate of drinkknig is key) you can do frequent fertigation when the pot loses at least 1/3rd of hits weight. I'd save this until after you have some consistent grows under your belt from what you can make comparisons if such extra efforts are worth it or not. Without an automated irrigation setup, it's quite a pain in the ass. i don't do frequent irrigations, but i do increase my frequency after flip. I wait longer in vege to promote better roots for when it matters -- when it is building flowers. Side note -- make sure you get some growth between nodes. If not, this can be a sign of too much light. It doesn't take much to stunt a young plant. too tight is just as bad as too stretchy, maybe worse. Your node spacing looks borderline, but could just be the genetics too. keep an eye on it. if growth slows at all, reduce or raise light in some combination. if soil, this is similar.. wait for top 1" to dry and irrigate. You still want to get the whole thing wet, but you don't need any certain amoutn of runoff for that growing method unless you are trying to reduce EC in substrate. Soil has it's own nutrient charge, and runoff simply throws that down the sewer pipe. You pay for it, might as well get a use out of it. A little runoff is good to ensure you got the whole thing evenly wet. Again, a wet-dry cycle is the goal here. soils tend to hold more water per volume than coco, so you wait a bit longer for the top to dry.
