Haha, @Scotch089 ...thanks a lot man, but I'm far from the masta, haha.... I appreciate it though
I agree with everything @PSUAGRO. has said ( unsuccessfully tried to delete that period waaaay too many times before I realized it was part of his name). You can get drooping from overwatering, underwatering, heat, etc.
I use the finger test a lot on the non-blumat pots. Basically, I concentrate on not too much/not too little water as equally important. I try not to drown the roots, which is easy because I have small pots and they can't really hold much anyway. Furthermore, the clay is porous which helps air things out. If too much water comes out of the bottom, I empty the saucer instead of letting the pot sit in the standing water. Then, I basically use the finger test often (I just kind of press down on the soil and see if it is spongy and moist or dry...it turns into the finger test if the top layer of soil is dry, lol). I don't let the soil ever get "dry," if I can help it.
Stressing the plant slows growth and ultimately affects the yield, so it's best to avoid both forms of water stress if you can, imho. It seems to work for me...I try to give the plants a stress-free life all around, which is why I top them when the growth is so small...the plant barely notices. It's not really noticeable when you can veg out the mistakes, but you can see it in 12/12 from seed for sure.
yeah 12/12 from seed is similar to running autos=== no room for error
It's been said numerous times, but you should definitely make sure your medium is highly aerated , especially under leds for best results......
keep up the great grows mc.............
