Do you have a fan blowing on the bulbs bro?
Edit: Nvm. You may need another fan. I need 3 to keep my grow room cool on hot days.

I let my pots dry all the way out. Until the plants BARELY start to wilt, then I water HEAVILY.......this makes sure the plants get the water/oxygen they need. Also I have noticed that the plants EXPLODE after a drought when they get a heavy drink.
How many watts are those CFLs?

depends how hot it is. but usually in temps like that, it will take around 4 days depending on how full the root system is.
when my plants have filled the pots with roots they will be thirsty before the soil even dries out. I had to water my outdoor plants every morning even though the bottom 3/4 of the soil was still wet.

Their roots are ridiculous....growing out the bottom of 2 gallon pots.....when i transplanted from the one gallon pots they looked a little rootbound.....seedlings at less than 2 inches were growing out the bottom of 2 liters....

no. dont water like that. the soil never evenly dries out.
water each of them well and then let them dry out for a few days.
when you water everyday like that the bottom of the soil never gets air or oxygen to the roots because it stays mucky/soggy. Then it can cause root rot......then plants can become weak and die.
Better to underwater than to over water imo.
You need to water with more water but less frequently.

Yes I agree too overwatering is way worse then under watering, over watering will cause ph issues signs of diffs when there is not a diff and more then likly death if got to far, soak dry and repeat you will in return get a heathier plant. And yes I would also say you are over watering, because you are watering more often. You can water a plant as much as you want at one time you can run 5 gals of water thru a one gallon pot that won't hurt it doing it again the next day will.
