Mayday! Haha. How often are you watering? Over watering and under watering are nearly identical. Think you could be under watering? Either way, I wouldn't be too worried. Your gals look great.

Shes in a 5,2 gallon bucket and gets about 2oo ml off water every other day... to little?? to much? shes under 12 12 and during light time shes under 400w hps. During night shes in a ok warmed closet so that the temp switch dont get huge...

i'm no expert but when you water make sure you give them more rather than less you can only over water by watering to often not by giving them too much when you do, my soil plants are in 3gal pots and probably get a couple of litres each and i water every 3rd day i don't measure how much they get i just make sure i water til get plenty of run off and then put it back in the tent and move onto the next 1 doing it this way takes a little longer but at least you know they are well watered and fed and its easy to see when they need doing again usually for me the soil starts t harden and pull away from the pot this is the time to water again if i leave them the extra day they will start drooping and looking unhealthy, for me it's every third day for watering hope this helps with ya watering question mate

Looks fine. Forget HOW much they drink. Flood 'em, then wait until they are very light to pick up and flood again. Watering 5 gal pots daily??? I only watered mine in 3gallon pots about every 4-6days. If you are watering daily, maybe theyre overwatered? Remember, the roots LOVE oxygen, so you gotta let em get a little dry between watering. If the leaves are paper thin, Isnt that how they transpire excess water? Once I started realizing that these babies prefer underwatered, my bug problem lessesned and they grew like mad. Being patient enough to wait for them to dry up before watering was very difficult.

Believe me, they can take a helluva drought and suffer less than if you keep em too wet. These are weeds man! They take abuse well, just relax and let the girls do their thing. If you cant quit messin with 'em, take some clones now, and play with those! Happy growing!
