Love these auto compact as hell. Very little side branching. Looks like nitrogen def. No way its too hot with those t5's. Hmm im kinda stumped. Whats ur watering schedule?

Nice man, following this one

 

[fire860]

do all my watering daily and do it by feeling the weight of each plant, but it i had to guess what each got its around 6 ounces each.

It looks like those lights are kinda high above the canopy for floura..? I have my t5 about an inch above my canopy, maybe the prob with the last two is not enough light?
