Hi all
New to this, I've been growing for about a week now... From cuttings.
Their on from 3pm until 9am temp/humidity is always good.
Around 6/7am some of the tips of the leaves start to droop, But by 5pm the same day they look like they have shot right up again
I'm worried as I've only watered them
Once which was Sunday evening, 8 plants each potted in 10L buckets had 1.25 liters each, with 0.5ml of superthrive. The ph was 5.9 and nutrient level was good. I've looked now and the soil is ever so moist STILL! But the key thing is in the last four days they haven't showed any signs of overwatering?!
Any help/advice would be much appreciated

Your good man, you definitely won't need to water those plants very often until they fill in size wise to the pot.

They're looking really nice. Maybe throw a small fan in there to keep the heat off the plant canopy and strengthen that stem a bit.

Sounds like they think its time for bed at 7am and theey need a kick in the ass to stop them doing this. Keep the lights on 24/7 ,this will help reduce the droop and dry the medium quicker. Also use some perlite next time about 30% to reduce overwatering.

I only shut the window to stop them from getting to cold when the lights are off? Is it essential they need fresh air? Or can I just rely on the fan to suck air from the room through the tent? What is perlitre?

You need an exhaust fan to exchange the air regularly while the lights are on otherwise you will starve the plant of CO2 .

no but it would surprise you how much better they will do with fresh air ,air in house is okay but outside air is better ,just hooked mine up to intake from outside ,hell of a difference ,like night and day ,if i would have done it 3 weeks ago i'm convinced they would be twice there size.when it get's cold i turn off inline fan and just a little of the outside air comes in .
