sooo i went to go water the babies this morning as they generally are pretty light potted around 48 hours of no water, and they were heavy as when i watered them still today. now other then me getting high and forgetting that i watered yesterday and not the day before is there any cause for this? they still look healthy and beautiful as before, the only real difference is i moved them from a 4x4 tent to one half of a 5x10 (in a 5x5 area) and added some very small side lighting. Should i worry about this? i thought around this time they were supposed to drink more water not less.
room stays roughly 84 degrees with optimal air flow
rh generally around 30-45
480w Bava Quantum board (2700k/4000k, deep red, ir and uv led additions)
black magic potting soil thats been well deluded sense day one and is basically just dirt with all the airy shit by now
2 strains,Northern lights (the shorter ones) sgt pepper (a pineapple crossover)
no pest/mold issues only real issue is asshole kitty taking a chomp out of a leaf here and there
if more details/pics are needed all are listed in my grow journal in my signature20200613_083221.jpg

Plants don't drink on a timed schedule. Your plants look great, let them tell you when they need more water, not the other way around.

If the pots are heavy, they aren't ready for water yet.

copy that, just seemed odd as they have been on a pretty strict 36-48 hour period their entire life (based off what they tell me not what i tell them)

they look fine to me too

BUT I noticed when I have a plant that doesn't drink much, It hardly has any roots other than the 1g root ball from the starter pot.
I just had this happen to me on my last harvested Col Gold.

well i have noticed the stupid rooter is still stuck around the stem of one of the plants... maybe that has something to do with it... i switched to dirt based rapid rooters

You plants look very healthy, great job. I see many people buy those rooter plugs, do you do clones or seeds? I am really enjoying my coco pellets for seeds and there is no plug left on the root ball. I know that many people love them but I never want to impede my root growth or make the roots struggle with anything if I can help it.

My cat is the same way, he goes crazy for pot leaves. Could not care less about the buds but go absolutely nuts for the leaves.

these were originally clones i bought from the pot shop that i had just intended to use to grow, then they finished the strains at 21/23% thc so ive decided to keep the strains going

Well like any parent you are concerned about the little ones but from those pics I would say just keep doing what you are doing. Those plants don't look to be complaining about anything. To me it looks like you are doing a fantastic job.
