I've been using a spray bottle , I spray the soil down once or twice a day . No water runoff though which I read that there should be .

They are sitting 4 feet or so under a 450w led. Watering doesnt make it perk up, nor droop more .

If I am under watering them I could see that being the reason .

I dont think I am over watering them because the top soil dries out quick .
 
Ya, no need to drown them tho. They are baby girls, like a half cup of Ph'd water would suffice. Twice a week right now.
 
Water until run-off, let the soil completely dry. Doing this will allow roots to search for water and establish a good and healthy root system.

I sprayed this morning . Think it would be wise to wait for the top soil to dry out again before I do the half cup watering ?
 
I'd wait, leaves are droopy...........

But very stretchy, its searching for light. Bring the plants closer to the light source, even if only 4 inches closer.

Not all LED lighting is similar, either. Those cheap Amazon LED's dont show the actual power draw.......u can bring your plant much closer to cheap LED's then you can with efficient higher powered LED.

Will do, just raised them up about another foot and half. They are now 16in from the light. I will update in a day or so . I'll also try the watering method once I get about an inch of dry top soil .

48" light distance to 16" is a big jump....
 
what light are you using? what size tent?

Gotta know the power draw FROM THE WALL before recommending an actual distance.
 
The 450w viparspectra

Hey man. It looks to me that the problem is your light. get it under something a little more powerful and I would be very surprised if it didn't perk right up within hours.
 
I have a supercloset 2x4 super room coming but it wont be here for at least 3 more weeks . This light is the best I'm going to be able to do untill then . The kit will have a 600w k3 series kind led
