Are these under watered?

First time grow
Soil medium
Bag seed
300watt LED full spectrum

I am having a hard time keeping these guys healthy. They recovered from a pH problem but are now looking terrible. Can you tell me if these guys are under or over watered?

Take some pictures in natural light. Hard to tell in purple light.

Looks like it. And it's got a fuckton of brix. And it's N-toxic. Pretty severely underwatered, though. If it's drooping like that, you must be seriously afraid to water it. Water it every 3-5 days. Enough that the medium is saturated and the rest runs off.

I flushed them a coupl days ago for n-tox. That's why I was surprised to see it might be under watered. What are brix?

It might be overwatered, then, and just drying up. Doesn't appear to be bloated and your medium's pretty dry. Or have you been extremely frugal with your watering the whole grow? Brix is that thick, shiny shit in the leaves.

Honestly I have over watered them 3 weeks ago. Trimmed the watering to once a week. They took off again, then the n-tox occurred. I am not using any additional nutes. Happy frog soil, roots organic and black gold. These 2 plants are going to be the death of me

Water every 3-5 days. Find your sweet spot, it'll be between those two. But it'll be alright.

For no additional nutes, though, that's gotta be FFHF doing that. That shit is healthy-dark for its age. Why flush if you aren't using extra nutes? If you're going water-only, you don't want to flush. You can't and shouldn't try flush organics, anyway.

Well chit I'm just screwing this all up.

You'll be alright. You're still in mid-veg. No big deal, plenty of time to get it down.

For future reference, when the tips start burning and badly clawing, that's when you should worry about flushing. And don't worry about flushing in organics. You'll only push your Mg, P, and K out of the pot.

Thank you so much. This is the second post I've made and everyone has sooo much great information. BTW watered these guys and they perked up nicely

Good deal. Then it is underwatering, and you solved it.

high brix = quality
It is the difference between good & fabulous.

Right. I guess I made it sound like a bad thing. It's not.

It's usually a sign of a high sugar content in your plant, I believe? And I believe that's a good sign your flower will be tits.

Yep.
When leaves get that flat glossy look, the plant is happy & healthy. The best bloom booster is healthy green leaves, IMHO. Some growers like to "burn em down" by switching to bloom nutes at the beginning of flowering, but I like to run veg nutes almost all the way through flower, tapering off as I increase bloom nutes. Not only does it keep em happy, re-veg after harvest is EZ-PZ.
