1. drainage holes are an absolute must.
2. randomly feeding whenever you feel like is also a bad idea. get a routine and stick to it as long as they dont start getting dark green, thats a sign they are at their max and anymore will hurt them so you gotta cut back.
3.what do you mean by you feed twice a day? are you saying you water them twice a day or you feed them when you water everytime? either way neither of those is good at all. You want to water enough so your medium is moist/wet throughout and then wait till it drys out again before watering again. pearlite helps the soil drainage, did you mix any into your soil? to tell if it needs watering simply lift the pot up after you water it and its fully drained, feel the heaviness? now fill up a similar sized container and fill it with dry soil, now lift that up. you want to water right before that point. its easy once you get the hang of it, i can tell instantly by picking up a container if it needs to be watered or not.
4. How warm? temps matter, you cant just hope youll be ok and not check them.
5. You didnt mention if youve been phing your water, have you? thats very important to keep it in the right range.

about 30 degrees celcius...
i have no ph tester or even litmus paper nothing...
i just use nutrients when i water.. (hense the feeding)
what about the hours though?
is it bad if lowryders are under 24 hour lighting? it was under 24 hours light and it started budding so i just kept goin with that...
and with the nutrients i cant measure how much im putting in but i put very little in... the measure ments are in gallon or something and im using a 5 litre spray bottle..
is it bad to just use nutrients?

get a ph tester. you are feeding way to often. as well as watering far to often.
5 liters = 1.32086026 US gallons
