just wanted some input on what u guys might think about this: I have some LR2's and a WW already on 4 days 12/12 and ive noticed after switching to flowering the soil is still moist! i watered them all on sunday and was planning on watering them yesterday but when i touched the soil it was moist so i decided to wait another day which was today but theyre still not dry enough and they dont look droopy or anything. im running a bunch of 2700k CFLs and a few daylight ones also with a 70w hps about 10 inches or more from my WW and 5 fans blowing. the temps are nowhere near hot near the plants so i was thinking if i put the hps closer and make a reflective hood for it maybe they'll drink up some more?

just wait,you dont want to overwater,you will get lock outs on nutes,and root rot

learn to judge the weight of the pot,check it when its watered and check it when it looks dry and remember the weight

Whats the humidity in your garden? That can play a part as well. If the plants appear healthy and happy, water as needed. As buggs bunny said too much moisture in grow medium and cause problems with root rot and dilute your nutrients. Are you planning on flushing your plants a couple weeks before harvest?

might just flush with molasses 2 weeks before harvest. i havent looked at my hygrometer in a while but last time i checked it was between 40 and 50. what can i do to make sure they dont get root rot or get mold?? i havent tested the runoff of any of them in weeks but the WW has about 3 or 4 leaves that have little brown spots and are a little yellow kinda looks like a deficiency but not sure. other than that they all look really healthy and nice green. so i guess i'll check the humidity tomorrow, if it's too high how can i bring it down?
