first time grow advice?

im trying to grow for the first time. in my pics you will see 6 plants all started from seeds. they are aged between 2weeks and one month. they arent growing the way i want them to. i have my lights set to 12/12 from the start. i water them every day. every other day i give them a little big bloom. dont tell me my grow is crappy unless you have some advice to back it up. so yeah tell me what you think i can do to make it work better.

-fox farm soil
-distiled water
-5o gallon tote
-big bloom
-2 fans and vent holes
-70 watt HPS bulb
-17 watt bulb
-metal reflecting tape.

i think your plants are dead

prob too much water n humidity

Those plants look very over watered.

they get an oz of water a day

whats in your pots?

You shouldn't need to water plant like that daily, maybe every other day or even longer, depends when it needs it. Get a feel for the pot, when it's light, water it.

what do you mean? there is soil in my pots

i always put my finger in the soil to make sure its dry b4 i water it, im not going to water it if its wet.

Those plants are much too young for nutes, as well. I hardly give any nutes while my plants veg at all, but I only veg for a month. I honestly think about cutting out the veg nutes completely.

Most people don't give nutes for at least the first 3 weeks.

get some perlite in your soil so the roots can breath you hav prob been giving them too much water, hey will tell you when they need water, the leaves will droop down

It may not be over watering than, but that's what it looks liek to me. Could be over feeding, could be both. Those are probably the 2 most common mistakes a new grower will encounter.

im not veging. lights are set to 12/12

Also, those nutes are for flower stage. I believe big bloom are the "microbial" nutes or whatever they're called.

Just cause your lights are set to 12/12 doesn't mean they're in flower. A plant will veg until it is sexual mature. Those plants are indeed in veg.

only 2 are under 3 weeks they dont get any. the plants that are over 4 weeks get half a cap of big bloom a week. so cut out big bloom?

Damn bro, sorry to break it to you but those plants are not looking good for 3 or 4 weeks

To me, it looks like a matter of over water and over nuting. I hate telling people to start over, but, I would probably germinate some backup seeds.

Also, I'm not positive, this may only be for hydro, but if you use distilled water you need to add cal/mag. but I"m not super sure on that with soil, could be wrong.

ok telling someone to just start over isnt helpful at all. if i start over a month from now id be in the same place i am now. i want to know how to fix my problems b4 i go off killing more. so one again. dont tell me whats wrong over and over just tell me what to do.

I didn't tell you to start over I told you to germinate some backup seeds. That's solid advice.
