I went to the very edge with the meter, but I feel the same. It pains me to stick the meter in, even on the very edge.Personally as it comes to watering, I let the top inch of soil dry out mostly before giving a watering. I avoid the moisture sensor cuz i get paranoid about hurting roots. As far as nutrients, I use a 24-8-16 NPK fertilizer during vegetative. Once your plants outgrow that pot you'll want to upgrade to get a better harvest. Bigger pot = bigger yield IME.
I'm not sure what any of the info you posted about nutes mean. I'm sorry. Is this a specific type of testing that is done?
I have only used comfrey tea that I make and some fish emulsion on these once. I didn't want to burn them. They are still in Happy Frog soil. I have the ocean floor for when I up-pot them. I've seen so much information varying on what to feed and when. I'd like more info if someone doesn't mind. Also, I was watering these way too much when they were super young. I'm using a meter now to test the moisture level. It still is showing between 8 and 9 (wet) at the bottom of the pot and between a 3 and 4 towards the top. Should I wait for them to be more dry towards the bottom before watering again? I haven't watered them in 8 days. Thanks in advance for helping me. I've only grown from a clone once before. I did this outside when I was young, somewhere on a hill, and didn't fertilize or water them. So, from seed is very new to me, but gardening isn't.

I would use a fast release fertilizer with higher nitrogen than p or k during veg stage. Follow the directions on the package, I usually fertilize every 2 weeks though but every fertilizer is different.I went to the very edge with the meter, but I feel the same. It pains me to stick the meter in, even on the very edge.
How often do you fertilize in the veg. stage? I was worried about overfertilizing, but now I'm concerned that I've underfertilized. There are so many options of what to purchase. I guess I just need to pull the trigger. I don't want to harm my plants with too much or too little.
I'm definitely uppotting when they get a little bigger. I wanted them in my raised beds, but I want them in as much sun as possible AND, I will need to be able to move them. Security lights would interfere with the darkness they will need when flowering.
Thanks for the insight. Again, there is so much information that it is overwhelming and often is contradictory to the previous information you've just read. Hard to decipher for a newbie.
np <3!Thank you.
2 weeks is at least a gauage for me. What would I look for on my plants as a sign that they aren't getting enough nutrients aside from nitrogen deficiency, unless that looks different for these plants than all others?
