Hi, Im a new grower with 3 plants in a 3 square foot closet with a 600 watt hps.
I started 3 afghani big bud seeds and put them under the light in a propagator. When they were a few days old i noticed they were wilting so took them out of the closet and gave them a good watering. They recovered and started growing fast so they went back in the closet then into the big pots.
I started giving them some nitrogen when they were 2 weeks old and some of the leaves got yellow patches and the new growth started curling up. I assumed i had overnuted them so flushed them out and yesterday they seemed to be recovering, but this morning they are curling up and wilting again. The pots seemed a lot lighter so i gave them a good watering again.
They are 3 weeks old now and are in good quality potting compost. I havnt given them any nutes since. The room is between 75-85f with an extractor fan running at all times. They get 24 hours light. I put a humidity meter in there a couple of hours ago and the room is just under 30%, which is pretty dry. I put about 2 litres of water in each pot on monday morning and they seemed too dry this morning, wednesday, and they took another 2 litres each before any water came out the bottom. Is the room too dry? If so how can i increase the humidity? Would adding a ventilation hole in the closet door improve things? I was wondering if the extractor fan was sucking all the moisture out the room.
Ive got some pics, so any help would be greatly received.
Ps I will start a journal shortly.

. I cut a hole in the closet door and put a ventilation cover on it and the humidity has gone up to 55% and the temp down to 75f max. The plants are loving it and look fantastic now, and the pots shouldnt dry out so quick. The humidity was down to 25% yesterday, it was like the sahara in there, sucking the moisture out my pots and into the extractor fan! Ive put 3 white widow seedlings into big pots today (12 days old) and they are in the closet now aswell so i will take some more pics tomorrow and post them on this thread. Thanks for everyones advice and smoke safely
Peace
