I'd say I watered them pretty well. I didn't water till runoff though. I made sure not sure not to water the outer sections of the soil, only the inner. In the pic you can see the circle of moist soil and the outer dry soil - everything within that circle has been generously watered. My next watering, I will water to runoff and make sure all the soil is watered
Day 17. Watered to runoff. No nutes yet. I will start adding cal mag and fox farms nutes the next time I water - as the plants finish up week 3. Still a bit of droop going on. 2 days after transplant
Looking good! Next time fill the solo cups more. Punch more Holes in the bottom. Don't feed for at least 2 more weeks. Soil is loaded with food for new plants.
Day 18. Looking a bit better. The low part of the plant is dropping a bit. Not sure if that's normal.
I mean its totally safe to start feeding them in light doses a couple weeks after they sprout and them increase your feed as you go....safer for the plants to
Hey buddy your girls are lookin good dont worry about the stroppy one, seedlings do all kinds of weird shit while they get used to being alive. When it comes to nutes, less is always best. If you wait untill bits start turning yellow before upping the nutes then you shouldnt ever get any toxicity issues which cause a lot more damage than a deficiency. I just experimented on one and turns out they can survive in a 1inch cube on nothing but 50ppm tap water for 8 days before they get hungry. That soil is preloaded so best not to add anything untill they start turning yellow. If the tops go yellow,or if you get purple leaves from the stem outwards or you get rust spots anywhere then start the calmag at most quarter strength. Bottoms go yellow and you add base nutes at quarter strength. Feeding schedules are useless, its best just to learn how to wing it from the get go. Its easy enough.

Day 20. The girls are looking good. I'm gonna water with nutes tonight or tomorrow morning The 2 sprouts are doing well too. They are day 6 from seed.
Day 21. Watered to runoff. I added nutes for the first time. 4ml of cal mag 7.5ml of fox farms big bloom 7.5ml of fox farms grow big PH was at 6.3 - 6.4. Runoff PH was 6.2 Girls are looking good, although there is a bit of yellowing on a couple leaves on the bottom left plant, as well as on 2 leaf tips on the top left plant.
Day 23 I went ahead and topped 2 of my plants (bottom left and bottom right). Watered the 2 sprouts with distilled water ph'd down to 6.3
