Questions for first time grow

[alpha8]

Hello,

This is my first grow ever, I'm looking for input as I have a lot of doubts on what to do at certain stages.

1. How often should I water the plant when seedling? How often should I water when the plant starts to sprout up?
2. I use BioBizz lightmix as my growing medium. I was told I didn't need to monitor pH because I'm using this medium, is that correct or should I regulate it?
3. As for nutrients, I have the BioBizz indoor grow starter pack (Comes with BioBizz Grow, Bloom and Top-Max), where can I find a good guide on how to use it efficiently?
4. I'm using a limited space for growing (PC Case), how can I stop the plant from growing taller and focus on creating the buds?
5. There's no space for a dripping tray in my PC case, when I water plants in the future, can I take them out, water them until I see excess water run out at the bottom and then place them back in the PC? Or will this harm the cannabis in any way?

Thanks!

Its impossible to over water a seedling especially if your growing in coir, you can start a seedling in nothing but water as long as the leaves are not under water. The only way to use nutes is with a ppm and ph meter, without those two youre going at it blind. To regulate your ph you can use ph up or down. Ph is the last thing to check before watering. Seedlings should start at 200 ppm until day ten. Day ten you can go up to 300 then up as the days progress. My tap water straight from the faucet is 70 ppm mostly from calcium carbonate, no matter the ppm of your water always keep it at 200 ppm for seedlings. Its best to use distilled water so your plant has access to nutes and not just calcium carbonate. As for number 4 and 5 i have no experience growing in small areas

I too use bb light mix and bb nutes for my entire grow...have been for years and found it to be a very forgiving medium. Never heard ph didn't need adjusting if using it.
Light mix has enough nutrients already in it that will take your seedling through about a month with nothing but water and that's not very often...getting familiar with the weight of the seedling container is important to know when to water....I use DI water only until my plants sex...then begin using ph'ed tap water and nutes at about 1/4 strength. My healthiest plants are the ones that I've fed less.
