Day 13
The temp inside the tent is 30C
Moistened the top of the soil and added about half litter of water on the bottom of the bucket

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on watering! Your system looks very interesting.
Before putting the seed in the pot I have made some major watering and since then I'm only adding just a little bit so to keep the top of the soil moist, it becomes a little dusty inside the tent when the top of the soil dries and the fan is blowing over it. I have done this almost everyday. But the pot is still pretty heavy and I haven't done any real watering except 2-3 times when I put about half a liter of water but not directly in the pot but on the plate where the pot is sitting. The soil automatically sucks all the water. Now I'm waiting pot's bottom to become fully dry and then will do some solid watering including nutrition.

I don't pretend to be an expert, but it is my understanding that you want the root to grow down in search of water. If you keep the top moist, the roots can spread sideways, rather than down. They also need a "dry" period. When my pots feel light, I can pretty much be sure that most of the moisture in the soil has been used.
On the other hand, your ladies look good, so whatever works for you is the way to go.

When I'm moistening the top I'm looking just to make it wet without affecting the overall persistence of water in the pot, I'm not expert either but think this way I'm not influencing the roots so much or did I? Because in my opinion it's no more than 100ml of water, maybe even less. Now the plant is bigger enough that the canopy cover most of the top of the soil and I don't have any more the problem with the dust from the fan and probably there will be no need of any additional moistening. Maybe after topping when a new space open I'll do it again. Thanks for your input, really appreciate your attention and opinion!

Yes I was spraying very gently around the plantDo you have a spray bottle/nebulizer? You could give the top soil (not the plant) just maybe two squirts max to prevent the soil upheaval and be totally sure to not be effecting the over all moisture if the root zone.
