Does my plant need more water?

My second grow week is over and I am asking myself if my automatic is a little bit to small for the age of 14 days? I watered it with totally 400ml water in 7 days. Maybe this is to less. What can I do better? My plan is to increase the water and fertilizer with BIOCANNA Bio Vega

Water entire pot. never leave dry y pockets or zones. Wait for top 1" to dry, then repeat. Simple. Don't deviate until you gain more familiarity, and even then don't deviate, lol. If coco, wait for top layer to dry, then repeat -- coco holds less water per volume, so there is more dryback than meets the eye. The weight of the pot is the best way to know irrigation needs. This will be fairly similar no matter what substrate you use. Don't choose the volume of water. You use as much as needed to ensure the entire thing gets wet. A little runoff is fine, but if in soil you typically want to minimize that. If you water at same loss of weight, it will require the same volume of water -- so it can be predictable but only in retrospect do you learn what the volume is. Not much info was given, so consider wwaht you've done so far... IT looks a bit pale, so it may need more fertilizer than what you have provided. If you've been feeding heavily, you need to dial back as it might be lockign things out. If it is potting soil, you shouldn't need to fertilize yet, but fi the plant pales, it clearly didn't have much of a pre-charge in the substrate to start. One other thing you need to look at that the picture cannot show -- is there any space between the growth nodes. At 14days some internode length should develop. If all those leaves are sprouting from virtually the same spot on the stem, give it less light. The distance between nodes is your guide. Stretchy = more. No stretch = less. you want that "goldielocks zone" somewhere between.

Well, your soil is wet, i can see this So, no mate Roots need to breath & how it does that is by drawing o2 into the sub, as the soil dries from the top down it'll draw in o2 to root zone. You can also sink a few sticks down in the far sides at this young stage. You defo need drier substrate. Focus on a root stim. And 1 small feed a week, etc Feel free 2 DM me if u need help. I only use soil.

Water right , you water as wide as plant leaves reach, here you did all oposite ;)))) Rethink. You watered pot, not root area.

hello bro have a nice day. that is completely normal autos is just like the photoperiods in the first 2 or 3 weeks they has normal organic grow (especially when not feed nutrients in first weeks that is good thing ) so dont worry you did right thing and as soon as you start feeding them they show you some speed sir!. and the real grow and speed of autos is because unlike photoperiods they wont stop growing after they flipped to flowering stage actually they grow even more. so be brave and feed them nutrients but only half dosage of photoperiods ok? feed them every thing but only half and lower and you will be good.
