I know you're using those flos, but it doesn't look like your plants are close enough to the lights. They should be .5 - 1 inch at all times..it won't burn them to touch the light, so make sure they're really close.

Let your soil go through a wet/dry cycle. after you water always let it (the medium) dry a bit before watering again. pick up your container after you water it thoroughly to see how heavy it feels, you'll see that it has some weight to it.you'll know when it's time to water when the containers fell much lighter. I've always used this method and have never had a problem with over watering....good luck...moonshiner

GreatDainee,
I would'nt wait for the plant to start drooping and looking sick before watering! That's called STRESS and could lead to hermaphroditism! If you are that much in doubt as to how to water, by a moisture meter, they're inexpensive and take out the guesswork...moonshiner

a moisture meter is def. a good bet, but it's better to underwater than overwater..I wouldn't guess when to water and water too early..rahter wait until I'm sure it needs it.

Getting back to the chicken shit. I gotta big bag of it. I will dump it in the compost pile and use it next year. Fresh chicken shit'll burn the hell outtta yer plants. I've not looked at the pics nor read the myriad of answers you recieved. Just thought I'd spill the obvious for you. Chicken shit is dangerous and should not be used before it has set for AT LEAST 1 year.

slc..even though you leached to get rid of the overtfert I'm guessing, you might still want to fert at a very weak strength. Though you jsut got out of overfert, your plants are now without nutes and that's not ever good. weak strength though..
