I believe you may have hit the nail on the head with the under watering thing. The way I do it is to water until slight runoff. So add a small amount, wait a minuet, add a small amount, wait a minuet, add some,.... and so on until the soil is saturated and there's a small amount of runoff in the drip tray. You should not let the pot stand in water tho, so just a few drops of runoff is fine.

I check and make sure the soil stay's partially moist by sticking my finger in it. If it's dry a knuckle deep it's time to water, others use the weight of the container as an indication. Water weighs a lot so a wet pot weighs quite a bit more than a dry pot.

There's no specific amount, there's no magic number of day's between watering, as the plant grows it's water uptake increases, once you have to water to runoff daily because she's getting dry it's time for a new pot.


What size containers were your plants in? for seeds and clones I start with .5L (little 4" square nursery pots) And they are fine in those pots until about 6" tall, then 1 gallon to about 1.5-2' tall, then 3-5 gallon for flowering.


As for your light what is it? 1x2'? so 2 tube T-5?, Floro's lack penetration, so you need to have it close,... as far as how many plants you can flower under it? you could do a SOG style grow and flower all seedlings,.... 3 plants?

Or you could train a single plant to fill up the whole area and get some fair yield.

Good luck! and keep on reading, there's lots of info and lots of options.
