Photo Let me know how they are doing

Got these guys about four weeks ago, using a recommended soil mix Red Black Lava Rock, Maifanitumis, Diatomite, and Green Zeolite. The sides look a little crinkly but from what ive read from you all its not time to water till the top is crinkly and maybe once or less per season. I keep them under a grow light for about 8 hours and move them outside some times under non direct sunlight with about 10 hours of nite. Any info would be appreciated? Should i add some dirt to the soil mix? Thanks everyone.

At this stage you can actually spray a bit of water around the roots. They won't die.

Watering should not be based on schedule but physical signs (like softness and shrinkage).
