New Grow! Short video to introduce my gardem

Nice start! What is your watering routine for these babies?
One water mixing Root Juice + Great Shark Myco. Gently feeding with 15ml Pipetes only when they ask.
Second watering food mixes - Silica, biogrow, Delta 8, calmag. Both waterings are 350 ppm and 0.4 EC .

Depending on the age I use the root tea and the food mix depending on the colour of the leaves. Gently feeding with Max 25 ml. Once a day. The biggest one is getting the full dosis of the misture mentioned above.

Are you in coco or soil? If you're in soil, hold onto the calmag until flowering. In its place, use 5ml (1 teaspoon) of epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) per gallon of water. Then use the calmag during flower. The reason - calcium lockout.

If you're in coco, the rules change and I'll defer to one of the hydro pros since coco is closer to hydro than soil. @Aqua Man @moe.red

In soil, I will stop the calmag, but the leaves were yellowing and once I've applied it worked as you can see in the new pics, the second pair of true leaves are growing healthier! Is that the calmag or bacs? Forgot to mentioned that they are growing while recovering from the RH shock fue to the domes on the week1

I will take the tip and remove the calmag, .but the leaves have raised and are growing faster day after day after the start of the Feeding 3 days ago. Please find attached the imag was es between before and after. But now it raises me questions, is this high speed grow result of the improvement of the temp, rh, or this is a mix between the the bacs and the environment improvement (altogether)? because such a stretch in 4 days,its quite impressive if you compare with the very first image 5 days ago... I hope I was clear in my question and I will be glad to hear your thoughts. All for the best of the ladies :)

One time use, you should be fine. Repeated doses because "everyone always says use ca-lmag" is not the way to go. Calcium deficiencies usually show up as rust spots and then progresses towards leaf necrosis. If you see this, then reach for the cal-mag but go sparingly during veg because calcium needs are not very high at that stage of development.

In your case, I believe the less than desirable start is due to leaving the humidity dome on after the seedling breaks the surface. The yellowing can be caused by overly humid conditions as your seedling struggles to transpire. Since it can't transpire properly, it can't move nutrients very well either. You corrected it though. You should be fine going forward. Most soil mixes have enough nutrients to get you started for the first couple of weeks. You shouldn't need much more than plain water. Then gradually add your nutes.

I am at a disadvantage having never used your nutrients so I'm not familiar with how they work together. I've tried a lot of different brands of nutrients. For me, General Hydroponics "Flora" series has given me the greatest amount of success. It's inexpensive and easy to use. With that said, most brands work so stick with what works best for you and what you're most familiar with.

100% agree as he was also showing slight micro deficiencies.
 
To add to what others have said. Seedlings do not need to be fed nutrients. Everything they need is in the calydon’s. They are developing roots primarily at this point. I typically wait until those begin to yellow and the seedlings have been transplanted to a 1g pot before I consider a feed. If your using new soil everything needed should be in it and supplemental nutrients should not be needed for 3 - 4 weeks. And in all likelihood you would have transplanted yet again in that time frame. Preferably to new soil. I usually do not need to begin adding anything until they are in their final pot.

Thank you for the feedback, seedlings are just receive a light dust of myco and root juice.
 
Great advice so far~!
I'll ask if you have holes in the bottom of the solo cups and add you should water every other or every three days as needed.
The plant should not need watering daily. If it does your RH is way out of whack which could be true but a reach or you are not giving enough water when watering.
With holes in the solos and being watered slowly you would like see a tiny bit of water coming out the bottom.
Not a lot but enough to know all the soil is saturated.
Once in larger containers than the solos you really want a tray under each pot so you can see the outflow or bottom feed even.
Often if watered too quickly water will come out bottom that if caught in tray will get sucked back up rather quickly.
Any water in tray after 10 minutes is extra and can be removed from the tray.

These where 26 days old, topped once and not fed yet. If transplanted at the right times there is enough juice in the soil to keep them going. After each transplant and full watering they get a fresh wash of the starter charge in the mix. Transplanted at 2 weeks from solo cups to 1 gal pots pic taken Feb 11 seedlings broke ground Jan 15 & 16. I fed them for the 1st time this weekfeb 11 new crop.JPG
 
^^^^^
That.

I think there is a tendency for people to over love on their plants. The plants know what to do and if using a good quality soil it makes life so much easier for us as growers. Good soil, a good light, proper watering practices, and a controlled environment in parameter for the current life stage of the plant. Pretty hard not to be successful if doing those things.
 
Already removed from the feeding! Thank you for the care
Looks good only suggestion is maybe water a bit more thoroughly now…. Not often like daily but thoroughly. Allowing a good wet dry cycle

I have an article i wrote here that kind of explains watering.
