If your plants cant handle a liter of water they mostlikly dont need nutes yet. What are you growing in?
soil light mix from biobizz(6l pots) , autoflowers
and the pots are buried.

for a single 6l pot you should give between 1 to 1.5liter each time you feed
you must be watering incorrectly
let the pots getting lighter in weight before watering again
then water until you see a bit of water dripping under the pot

Such a small plant can consume 1-1.5l ?

That plant is to small for needing nutrients. If it's grown in dirt/peat you already have nutrients added in the mix. I would add nutrients when it start getting lighter in color.
Be cautious with the amount of water in the beginning. Keep it moist but not wet. I use a pressure sprayer or a wet towel when I water seedlings, makes it easier to add small amounts of water. Good luck!
Not sure if my drainage system is correct
At this stage im watering every 3-4 days with almost a half a liter. Its ok ?

That sounds alright. I don't water to runoff in the beginning. It's very easy to overwater a seedling. Runoff is more important with larger plants when you start adding nutrients so you don't just keep adding nutrients without washing out the excess. Cheers!

You don't need to feed your autos in this soil until flower. Give them just water until they will start to grow buds.

With that statement I think you require a magic crystal ball looking into the future. There's no set parameters to any grow. I would let the plant decide what it wants. Cheers!

I had grown autos in that soil. First run, despite that is "nutrientless" soil mix, my plant had finished with no extra food.
Just my experience. Cheers!
