Any advice on watering seedlings this size? Do i saturate till run off at this point? I grow in coco/perlite

I personally dont water with runoff... especially this small. know the book tells you to soak the medium till a certain amount comes out, but I just dont like to soak anything unless I am trying to flush the soil for some reason, or if I HAVE to run a test. Less is more when it comes to watering at this stage in the game IMO... You should be able to get a feel of what she needs in a few weeks.

I would water to 10% run off daily with nutrients in coco/perlite. After the media is saturated it shouldn't take much daily to get 10% runoff

If it was soil you would not and you would wait for a dry cycle.

Youre fine. I count 4 nodes and top. Only once per auto for me tho.
Hey 👋....

I think I messed up at topping one of my auto seedlings. If you look at the difference between the 2 seedlings I topped one has a growth forming....?

Should I cut it off?
