Everything has been going okay so far but this morning I noticed one of my plants looked really droopy. Not sure if normal or if somethings goin on with it?
Maybe Im just thinking to hard about it? Not sure what do you guys think?
It either needs water or the light is too intense. Try raising your light 6" and wait 3 hours. If they are horizontal that’s perfect. If they are lifted up the light is now too far away. Adjust accordingly.

I did half a cup last night before the lights went out and still got allot of run off. I know I’m going to get some either way but is that too much water then?
You should water until it starts dripping out the bottom

So did changing the light distance have any effect on the leaves?

So I had the light at 15 inches from the plants. I moved it up to 24 inches last night. This morning the one that was droopy was looking good but the other plants looked like the were reaching. Their leaves were more pointed up then usual so I dropped them down to 22 inches and waiting to see if that levels them out.
Will the moving of the light like this stunt growth?
No, you need to get the correct distance. If it’s too far away your plants will stretch. If too close they will be very compact. This can be seen by the distance between nodes. As a gauge, I believe your plants should be around 12" in 3-4 weeks. Moreover, if the droopy plant perked up after moving the light further away, you resolved your problem.

So I updated all my grow logs. Not sure if I’m doin it right but I did one for each plant. If you search gorilla butter they’re the only ones that come up. #4 was the droopy one. If you can see them let me know what you think!

I looked at all of them and they all look terrific. If you can, get some White Widow endo-Mycorrhizae and General Organics Bio Root 0-1-1. You will want to use these throughout the next 3-4 weeks (and no other nutrients) to promote a rhizosphere around the roots, which will help the plants ability to absorb water and nutrients. This will occur due to the many different bacteria in the Mycorrhizae. The Bio Root will also help to develop a strong root system, but also cell development and stalk and stem structure. Your only objective for the first four weeks is to develop a healthy root system and this is how to do it. They are considered seedlings for up to four weeks and we must baby them. After that we transplant to 3 gallon pots and begin the vegetative stage.

Thanks man! This is my first grow and I know sometimes I might be over thinking things but I’d rather be safe then sorry. I appreciate the help you and others have given. I’ve been reading allot and watching allot of videos but it’s nice to have some help from people who are doing the same thing
So when I got this soil the dudes at the shop recommended not to add too much stuff until to soil needs to be reamended I’ve been looking into the line of soil and they only have 2 different additives a veg tea and a bloom tea. The soil is roots organic lush which is supposed to be their water only line? I saw they have other products like the bio root stuff and i believe their version of mycorrhizae just wasn’t sure if what stage to start adding since I don’t want to burn them or anything. I was planning to start doing it once i transplant when veg starts into gallon fabric pots since their end pot will only be 5 gallon due to space unless I can start that with those amendments now and think I should go with a 3G instead if the 1?
The Mycorrhizae is not a fertilizer,. Its good bacteria that kills bad and provides other benefits. The bio root is very weak 1% potassium and 1% phosphorus. Your only going to use 1 tsp of that to a gallon of water. This regiment is what I use in Fox Fox Farm’s Ocean Forest soil. So you’re good to go.
If you prefer to go to 1 gallon and then 5 that is ok too.

So today I went to my grow store and got this stump tea. I was looking for the roots organics one cause I’m trying to see how the whole line works with itself but they didn’t have theirs so I got the store brand version but it seems like it’ll be good for the ladies. I also raised their lights to 30 inches as opposed to 22 inches. The new nodes are stacking pretty tight so I want her to stretch out a little bit. I have updated my logs if anyone is curious about what’s going on in the tent. Will be adding pictures shortly
This is the stump tea I picked up
