My first flowers ladys died so I decide to try again. They are baby now, all plants are automatic, most of it is gorilla. How often and how to water? how high and at what power should the lamp be? when can I start feeding them Canna Rhizotonic?

I would be grateful for any advice :)

You shouldn't need to feed them for a while because they get nutrients from the cotyledon leaves. Keep the soil moist out to the edge of the pot to draw the roots wide. It's best not to let the soil there become hydrophobic (that is, resist water absorption). Avoid watering too close to the stem, as that can cause problems. The roots haven't developed much yet, though, so close to the stem is best now.

you can use canna rhyzotonic from first watering, doesn't have any npk that's just a root stimulator.

i would advise you moist the whole medium next watering till a little run off, roots grow and expand faster than you might think and they won't thrive in too dry medium. then you can water with smaller amount until the plant get big enough related to pot size. Remoist the whole top soil layer gently then concentrate what remain around the trunk of the young plant

water will activate microbial in the soil and will also prevent it to become hydrophobic if you let it dry too much.

As the seedlings start getting tall and thin add a little earth to give them better support.

Don't add strong light yet or fertilizers. Let them grow a bit first. You will be able to add more water, light, and nutes soon. Just not now.

You don't need a lot of water yet which means you have to add it more often. Once or twice a day with the size pots you have and the amount of water you've added in the pic. It won't take long (within a week) the plants will need more water than you are giving now.

"i would advise you moist the whole medium next watering till a little run off,"

By saying "run off", Do you mean you saturate; drench and overfill the entire pot?

No you spray it slowly until water starts going out from under.if you go to fast any amount of water will go down

Easier would be to take your plant pot dunk it in a pool of water leave for 5minutes and then back to the tent.

Thank you...so how high should water height be in container being used to place pot in? I assume because it is a cloth bag it will soak up water through the cloth pot. I have a half dose of FF Grow Big nutes in the water. Also, from the top of soil, the is soil completely dry...about 7 inches.

You really need to stay in your own post to ask questions about your grow.
