Quick reminder, even though we call it a “baby” and a “mother” plant, there’s only one plant in your pot. The basal growth is part of the plant. Like a branch on a tree, but much much smaller. :)

Depends on if you want to add more accessories to your setup. Seedling heating mats aren’t budget busters, and they can do wonders.

With a 20-20-20, I’d start with 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for a starting point. I don’t know the metric equivalent.
