Everything was going good until week 2 of flower they all got over watered to the point of no return but I let the soil completely dry out every time to the point I could stick my entire finger in the soil and it was bone dry I just can’t come to see how I over watered them this bad when I was so careful not to they’re under a Mars hydro tsl 2000 at 75% strength temps 70-81 humidity 25-40% constant good air flow

Can u get pics a little closer, maybe individual plants? To me they look thirsty. Droop from Overwatered plants looks swollen and leaves are super firm as they r full of water. These look like they have no water to even keep the leaves even somewhat rigid and in shape. Did u add xtra perlite to the FF soil? What does the feeding regiment look like? I don’t like the finger method when deciding when to water. I pick up the pots and when they r substantially lighter than usual it’s usually okay to water.

Look like left outside in the sun too long
I thought they were underwatered for a while at first then I watered again a little heavier and it completely made them droop like that the morning after I watered
Under Mars hydro tsl2000 75% 18-6 schedule
I’m sure they’re way to far gone to save now but I will water them again if you think that will help lol I don’t think I can do anymore harm
And no I didn’t add any perlite to the soil

Are u watering until it’s coming out the bottom? Pick the pot up does it feel light, or heavy like it’s full of water? On average, how often do you find yourself watering them?

Yes I water until it drains out of the bottom they’re in 2.5 gallon fabric pots and I usually water about once or twice a week

Hmmmmm. R u feeding them anything? If they were mine I would probably give them a good watering with clean ph’d water from the info you’ve given me. I’m far from a expert, but just the way that the leaves droop from the base of the stem, combined with the wilted/lifeless appearance looks like under watering to me. I use FF soil and find myself watering every 2-3 days or so. You said the your humidity is 25%-40%. Low humidity will make ur pots and plants dry out quicker and need to be watered more often.

Your soil is hydrophobic and will not retain water.. You need to bottom water to get it saturated..
I’m watering them now with general hydroponics flora series half strength and what would you recommend humidity ? I was trying to keep as low as possible to avoid and mold problems but I guess I just created more by trying to avoid one
Upping humidity now

During flowering I try to keep it around 50-60% It’s not like your hurting them by having a lower humidity (although VPD can be a variable in plant vigor, yield, etc), you just have to make sure they stay hydrated! Ur flowers still have very little mass so I wouldn’t be too concerned with things like bud rot just yet. I would back off the nutes entirely until they look hydrated personally.
I appreciate all you’re help, I have a bigger grow about to start I’d really like some advice on if you have a telegram or Snapchat we could communicate
