Over watering?

[Bum]

Before i watered less, 1-2dl each every 3 days and they never looked like this. They got a bit more this time, 4-5dl each maybe. All of that points towards over watering, yet they feel dry.

They have some heat from the light and the fans are running on them though

So should I hold up another day or water them today just less?

I had trouble figuring if I was over/under watering my plants at the beginning of my growing.
the fingering method was a bit hit and miss.
the is the pot heavy method was a bit hit and miss to as I couldn't remember what the light pot felt like 2 weeks ago.
so to solve that I got an extra pot,filled it with soil.didnt put a seed in it and never watererd it.now I can gauge with that compared to a pot with a plant in it,when I need to water.

Thats what i did, kind of. I made a equal cylinder sized pot out of carton and filled it up. Man.. It was SO much heavier than the actual airpot, it must have been really underwatered. Or the soil in the BioBizz bag way way moist.

I must have totally forgot what the watered pot felt like...

I gave them all a drink, lets see what happens..

I was convinced mine were overwatered. I gave them a water, couple days later they drooped, which of course made me assume overwatering. Turns out I had actually not given them enough water, gave them a big drink and they picked up straight away! I am also growing in a big container from scratch so it seems we may have had similar problems!

Oh really, they sneaky girls lol.
I just gave them just ~2dl each now, if they perk up should I maybe give them more?

@Bum the first picture is what my girl looked like when I *thought* she was overwatered...second pic is a one I took just now for you 3 days after giving her a proper watering - note the growth and she definitely looks happier! (sorry 4 shitty phone camera quality!). I would suggest watching her closely to see how she reacts to the watering, if there's even any small sign of her picking up I would give her a larger amount of water - but I'm a complete noob so I would await more concrete information!

Fingers crossed for you bro!

@milkmann
Thanks bro, I appreciate the pics!

We dont have the words first, second and third knuckle here so, we just have the punching knuckle, lol. Anyway, I google pictures for first knuckle and apparantly i fingerbanged my girls to between my second and third knuckle and they were dry all the way.

So I think were clear on the underwater diagnose lol.

I watered them another 5dl each this morning now in the evening they feel lighter again.. Could they really be drinking this much? Or is the airpots making them dry out faster?

Ill post pics for you guys in the morning, least I can do for all the help I got.

Love you guys!

@Bum haha punching knuckle. Yep sounds like an underwatering issue! How old are the plants now? Should give us some idea about how much water they should be taking now. One of my 24 day old's is taking 1L+ waterings without showing any signs of overwatering - in fact, quite the opposite! Take some pics tomorrow let's see how they recover! I'm sure they'll end up just fine

@milkmann

They are 19days today. Not quite dry since yesterday watering. Im bit scared to water more today, overwatering is mainly watering to frequently right?

Perhaps ill give them all 1L each with Grow nutes tomorrow?
