by the way, look what i found: Overwatering
it was recommend to me to water until runoff, when CLEARLY the pots are big and the plants are small... sure, i coud've done more reserch, but there is plenty of conflicting information such as: water little, water until runoff
final pot for autos, or up pot? etc etc. so i just asked on the forum instead.
btw, in the post: "all the fan does is help the leaves throw off more moisture so that the roots can pull that water out of the soil. The moving air will not significantly change the evaporation rate of the top of your soil... not enough to solve the problem anyway."

wait i'm not sure i'm following you, what are you asking me?
Moisture meters are a joke!
There are watering techniques for planting in final pot. You start with small amounts of water until the root have gotten established. If you over water n keep over watering you will get root rot n have multiple issues.
Also, a lot of auto growers start in solo cups or half gallon containers then transplant into final containers. There is a huge misconception transplanting is stressful, I suppose it could be out of fabric pots but out of solo cups it's not!
I suspect the combo of environmental issues and over watering has created your problems.
Only other thing I haven't seen brought up yet.....what kind of floor are your pots sitting on? On a warm insulated floor? Cold concrete?

ive just read it. She said to water 1/3 of the pot size until the plants get bigger. You have misinterpreted everything that was said.

Saturate the pot and then correctly wait till the plants use all the water all the way to the bottom before saturating it again. *****In the meantime****, every 3 days, water with 1/3 of what it would take to saturate the soil, just so you can water the top set of spreader roots that exist in the first 4 inches of the soil. This will keep the top roots going strong and allow you to get fresh water and nutes into the plant, while you wait for the lower roots to do what they need to do.
read carefully, so
i overwatered my plants once
i asked help on the forum, she replied
i used her tips
my plants are still over watered
so i stopped watering complitly
she is not saying that you should always water 1/3, only in my specific case

Nope not even bothering anymore 
Well, we all had to weed through the same conflicting information. Can't blame someone if you aren't willing to put in the work yourself.
You only get out of these plants, what you put into them.
People come here for quick and easy answers and want it all spelled out for them. You have to do the time and the research. There is no way around it.
There is also something else. You are the lone caretaker of your plant. You need to decide what is best for her and can't blame anyone if things go wrong, especially if you haven't done your due diligence on the research front. It is stated on this forum over and over how to water young plants. That's what you should be reading when you sprout your seeds.
I looked back and you had a help thread about your environment prior to this one. Have you made the suggested upgrades?

wtf, actually i noticed 3 of them started flowering, but the lights are 18/6, how?? they've been vegging for 3 months, could they be super long veg autos?
Stress
Environment, besides lights, is the most important aspect of growing
I've seen People in plain dirt do fantastic, perfect environment
I've seen $1200 of stuff....guys have started with.. killed every seedling

When my autos are a less than couple of weeks old I start to water to run off in 3 gallon plastic pots. I completely soak my pots before I plant. I have never went 20 days and had a wet pot. My lights and fans will dry the soil out by itself in a week. Toss the meter in the corner like everyone said. Notice all the fans. 4 in the tent. Environment is everything.

Some research is required friend,
If they are autos, then you do not need to change the light schedule.
18/6 straight through

Hydroholic has a great read in his signature.
The proper way to water a potted plant.
Give that a long hard read, maybe six or seven times......
It will help you aziz
After reading through this tread all the way from msg #1 up to yours I have to say that I figure aziz is blaming the Proper Way to Water a Potted Plant for everything that is going wrong with his plants in this grow. Plus, he also started a thread titled "Overwatering" in which Emilya tried to help him out by explaining what she felt was going wrong. He mentions that thread up there in msg #103.Hydroholic has a great read in his signature.
