is cannabis supposed to look like that???? what am i doing wrong??? they look so bushy and droopy and i feel like they haven't grown lately.....

the pic of the thermometer is average temperature at the top of one of the pots (6 inches from bottom of box), it can fluctuate a couple more degrees up because of the lights but not so much....

they are in 5.5 inch square pots, and are under 460 watts of cfl lights which are about 1-3 inches away from the tops.

i water about every 3-4 days and are under 18 hours of daily light.

btw my babies are a month old today!....

You might be watering toooo much claws leaves are overwatering, look at how droopy it looks lay off water check before you water stick you finger in cause it could be wet under the top. And might be too close to light and are you giving it any nutes?

i have a moisture meter and i water when it says the soil is dry, but it ends up being water one day, 2 days dry. I am feeding with a 1.6-1.8-7.4 base and a 2.8-0-0 grow part every other water. I put my finger between the light and the leaves and it doesn't burn me, the bulbs don't get too unbearably hot in my box.

how would i know how much to water? i just add water (about 1/2 - 3/4 liter) to the plants and i hold them up and let the excess water drip from the drainage holes until no water comes out...

thank you very much in advance!

they havent grown lately b/c they are in tiny pots. and you should be watering more like every 5-7days.

m8..that is a CRAZY NPK, it's like a bad flower with way too much K, get a better feed m8, or you gunna struggle, and feed them with weaker amounts of nutrients, more often. GL :)

That sure is a strange NPK mix, get some better stuff. they also do look over watered.
 
one thing, mary is beautiful, no matter what deficiencies. anyway, she looks root bound and over watered. re pot into bigger pots and water when top of soil is dryish with less water than what your using now. she will make a recovery soon bro!

Think about it like this. I have outdoor plants it's 90 degrees. If it needs watering, and I put it in the sun it will droop. However at that same instance if I put it back into the shade it will not droop. Now you're growing inside. Less wind, heat, etc. Your soil I'm assuming doesn't get baked like my soil outside which is why I have to water about once a day now. Hot soil, and I keep my plants out in the sun. They need more water to keep the leaves from getting crisp. Your inside again. Yours should be able to go a lot longer without water then outside. Stop watering so much.

Also even though my plants need water once a day I might choose not to water that day as it will soon start to rain soon after they start to droop in the day. I'll just opt to water the next day if it rains.

My soil like I said gets baked super dry on the top layer, however pretty moist down into the compacted area. Still it needs watering once a day, because I'm outside.Let them dry out repot.

Too much moisture in the soil .. i'd say transplant in bigger pots and get better soil and wait t'ill it's '' dry '' before watering

Have a good one budd

Bro the air looks thick in there , christ bro why is like that ? You ,must have old hot stale air exhausted out and new CO2 enriched air sucking in either passively or by a blower. Are you smoking in there? Also if the plants are perking up a few hours after watering then water more often, if not then water less.
