Help Needed

Hey guys, I am needing some advice if anyone has a spare few minutes.
okay, so I’m doing my first grow in a
120 x 120 x (2meter height). I have 4 feminised and 4 autos.
autos are
2 x Jack Herer
1 x Northern lights
1 x 2fast 2vast

Fem are
1 x Super Skunk
1 x Iced Grapefruit
1 x Satori
1 x Northern lights

I germinated seeds using paper towel method and once germinated, I planted seeds on Saturday 13/02/2021 (couple days ago). What I’m needing help with is how often should I water them? Should I water them twice per day? The top of pots always seem to be light brown and dry first thing in morning and same again at night. Should I water when their like that or should I go by what it’s like further down the pot? Sometimes although it’s bone dry at the top of the pot, its Still SLIGHTLY moist further down. My ph level is always 6.0 I’m using coco canna natural plant medium and coco canna a & b nutrients. I’ve been putting 1.5ml of both a & b into each litre of water. Is that correct?
also, I know my pots are big for little seeds but I’ve been using spray bottle which seems to be working ok (I hope).
Another thing I was confused about is how often I should adjust the light away from plants. Should it always be a certain distance away from plants?
I realise these are things I should know before starting the grow and I thought I did as I read a lot about it but I hear so many different ways. Any advice is very much appreciated. Here’s some pictures I took today.

Id have added some perlite for drainage and aeration. Coco gets packed pretty easy. Can't help much with that hps, I use leds. Yes, your pots are too big but as long as you are diligent you should be ok. If you are just surface watering right now, be careful it is easy to overwater them. Right now a few drops of water by their stem should be fine.
 
I think you are bitting of way more than you can chew for a first grow.

Or is this just first grow in this tent?

Stick to autos or fem.

Stick with 1 strain.

Each strain has different needs.

Photo and auto have different needs.

Gotta crawl before you run a full sprint at the Olympics
 
Well let me add my 2 cents?Why not fill up growpots 2 the top so you wouldn't need to transplant later on.And I just completed a grow with 6 different strains I always wanted to run,and it was very hard as they all had minds of there own.They grow different and stretch different heights,and so on,I didn't think it would be that hard and it was but good luck!

Your right dude, I should’ve filled it to the top. My worry was if I fill to the top I might get too carried away with keeping it all moist and drowning them although I now realise i should’ve done that cause I’ve now given myself a headache anyway. I’ll keep on top of things as much as possible and hope for the best and learn from any mistakes. Thanks dude
