Hi this isn’t my first post but I’m running into more problems than I thought and I think I’m over complicating everything!

this is my first grow and I’m on about day 9/10 of them sprouting out the ground, I popped 5 seeds into 15L pots using canna coco premium mix the one with coco four and soil together. Mixed in 20 percent perlite priavblyand let them do their magic.

I had pre amended the medium with dr earth all purpose 4-4-4 and some of the bloom 2-8-4 dry amendments.

all sprouted and look okay to me apart from one that’s a bit shorter and had some weird markingsright at the tip of her first leaves that I snipped off( just the tiny tip where the burn was.

my question is how much should i be watering at this stage? Is there a guide in litres or millilitres I’m cautious to over water but I’m sure I’m not giving them enough to thrive. Also in struggling to find an accurate answer to what PH their water should be in coco with dry amendments ? Ihave been giving them between 5.5-6.2 as this is what I have been told the most is this correct ? Also are they looking okay for day 10 out of the ground or are they lagging behind ? Im worried I stunted them or sowmthing not too sure?

cheers guys I appreciate any help and advice. I have atracked the pictures of the girls. They are 2cream mandarin XL,1 black cream.1 seedsman strawberry cheesecake and 1 seedsman northern lights.All autos!

cheers guys!

At that size and age, I generally just give plain water, about a cup until about 3 or 4 sets of leaves and gradually increase the amount. No nukes till around day 12 and then start at about 1/4 strength. Lift your pot and water by weight. IMO it is better to under water than to overwater.
 
Always better to take photos under white lights. No way for us to really know what they look like. That said they look good. You may have gotten lucky with the nutes. Babies are very sensitive. As for water at this point maybe a cup every other day. Depends. I wait until the top 1/2 - 3/4" is dry.
Sounds like you are doing a Mr. Canucks style grow. If you have not checked him out on youtube I would highly recommend checking out all of his videos. he is very successful. He covers his mistakes as well as success. He keeps it very simple.
 
A simple moisture meter has saved a lot of plants from drowning and will change your watering habits.
