It looks fine to me - smell is nothing on a vegging plant - when you water the plant feel the weight of it , learn to judge when it needs watering by the weight of the soil....

usually about 6 or 8 hours although i have to say your plant looks fine. i wouldnt worry about it, let it dry out until the pot is very light and then drench it again till water runs out the bottom. empty the tray and just continue. i honestly cant see what your worried about mate. best of luck.

Usually in soil thats watering every 2-3 days in 70-80 temps. Hope that helps! And I really wouldn't worry about overwatering unless it gets REALLY droopy,in which case the only thing you can do is wait it out anyway.

You know how it is with beginners... They're so anxious to do well that they sometimes see problems where none exist.

You were a newb once... remember those days?... probably a distant memory. Lol.

oh christ i remember it well, i had a bloody hermie on my first grow. much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensued. thank god for this site, i jumped in here and had it sorted in no time, ended up quite knowledgeable about it as well, helped a few friends out and saved entire grows. i helped bloody countless people in here afterwards as well. the big problem is just over protectiveness and you cant leave the poor bastards in peace, in and out the grow room like a fiddlers elbow. lol. thank fuck, you eventually get over it.

Your plants look fine. Just let it do its own thing. Let it dry out between waters. I usually let half to 1 inch of soil dry before I water again, sometimes more depends on different factors such as freaking Gnats. I dry the soil out so much so they don't have anything to eat :)
