New Grower First expirience. Need help

With HPS use the hot hand method to set the height. Hold your hand just above the plants with the back of your hand to the light. If it gets uncomfortable hot raise the light. You should water 2 hours after the lights come on not at night.

@Tisok One concern I would have is the high temps , and humidity , which could make for high soil temp and lack of dehydration of the soil -- water logged -- which will damage your root system , I believe that is what we are seeing by the size of your plants , I know it might be hard , but if they where my plants I would start again , -- Because you will have more problems along the way . Ps What is your humidity ?

dont worry too much about the ideal humidity,its more about avoiding high or low humidity less than 25% more than 75% is bad,somewhere in the middle is good.
and yep what Rollin says.we are guessing a bit as to whats up with plants,sorry i cant be more sure of what it is.also lift up the pots before and after watering,try and get a feel for light pot/heavy pot.
good luck n keep er lit.

Thanks a lot for your answer, Archie just did it after adding water and cant really say is it heavy or not, coz pots is heavy by themselfs. but anyway before and after water weight did not change much
Just realized that i know nothing about growing

Are those clear plant pots, do they have holes for the water to drain out? I water more but less often. I grow in 5 litre pots and when they are small I water 1.5 litres at once every week. They get to dry out and the roots spread out. Roots spread out means the plant gets big. They are quite small but stick with it, try slightly different things on each one, see what works for you. Good luck.

Yes, each pot have 6 holes (1,5-2 cm in diameter) on a bottoms, and also i added expanded clay on a bottom for better drain out of water. Hmmmmm interesting theory about water once every week. Thank you, bro ))

Hi! thank you, man, i know that hot hand method and hand feels good.
Sorry, but not really sure that i get you right about water. my plants getting light 18 hours each day, from 06:00 (6 AM) to 00:00 (12 AM). Am i must water at 08:00 (8 AM) or at 02:00 (2 AM)? i read that you must water your plants 30 minutes before bedtime but i think you know more.

i will think about it, but still trying to get them well. Thank you.
No, soil is not high watered and humidity about 50%.
Is any recommendations for how to water them right?
Look at my notes, i think i did i big mistake to not water them from 10th to 16th day.
Good lack and thank a lot

Yes, 8:00 AM, Water when they need it. Here is how to tell: get a meter Acurate8 PH soil meter. Or you can water them heft them to get an Idea how heavy they are and then just water when they feel light.

Watering every day is not a good idea in soil, let them dry out a bit then water.
