    just use the mister or a small amount of water each time until you get run off at the bottom of your pots
    when they are young ''damp'' medium is the way to go, damp but not soaking

    but you do want all the medium damp, so water/mist nice and slowly
    i am usually adding about 200-300ml of water at this stage, but i would be in a 1 liter pot vs a small cup

    id definitely let abit of air in, with humidity at 100% and the heat from the lighting it can cause odd twisted growth
    it will fix in no time so don't worry to much

    there are mostly used to crack/pop seeds, after that they are less use unless rooting clones,
    all they do is dry your soil/medium tbh

    if the seeds are all sprouted id turn it off ''jmo''

    the heat encourages the taproot to grow down, also warms the soil so perfect for young seedlings
    nice one on adding more water, as long as they don't dry to much you'll be golden

    can lift the cups, if they are really light just give em more water, letting them dry out is way worse than adding a little extra water

    Thank nice to know that. I took them out of the pots yesterday coz I thought they were too wet so change coco and started again, cannot see a tap root now unless it’s still in the jiffy, only skinny hair like roots

    Hello mate, you may benefit from dropping your ph to 5.6 at this stage. Lose the dome, you dont need it now, When you feed, get a good runoff each time. Feed and then wait until the pot loses half its weight, then feed again. Over time, you will notice the pot drying out quicker. At this stage, feed every other day, then after a week or so, feed every day. Key to growing in coco is number 1, accurate ph going in the pot. 2, Get a decent amount of runoff every time to set the ph in the medium. Follow those two rules and not much can go wrong really. Provided your environment is sound of course. Hope this helps mate.

    I had very good results using cfl's for seedlings and early vegging. Led's weren't around back then, lol. One more thing mate. Ph. Ph to 5.6 in early life, moving up to 5.7 when the plants have around 4 sets of leaves. From there, 5.8 through active vegetative growth, moving up to 5.9 in bloom. Drop every third feed to 5.6 throughout the grow.
