Is the grow substrate constantly wet or moist?moist

The soil must dry out between waterings, what is happening is the root is constantly wet and cannot get any oxygen

This slows the growth down considerably and can easily kill a plant.

Just because the top of the soil feels dry does not mean the root area is dry.

How deep is your pot?

i belive its like 10-12 inches deep HIE and that what has been happening i bet cause even tho i stick my finger down in the soil to second knuckle it feels dry but i am sure down deeper it still moist or even wet so i will let it dry out real good for i water again thanks for the help.ON side note all 6 of my babys broke soil this morning in there 16oz cups see if i cant do better wiht them in smaller pots ot start with lol.

Another quetsion is my RH is steadily dropping use to range 30-40% now its staying around 27%-31% will this have a effect on it not sure why its so low when the lights are on when its off hangs in the 50% area.I mainly grow outdoors and never had to worry bout low humidity so lost on this subject seeing as outside here iusally 80% or better during the grow season.My 6 LR2 in the beer cups are in makeshift mini greenhouse i made for them and i can tell a big deiffernce with them in it then others i didnt use for it.
