So I got 5 gsc auto’s in a 5x5 with 2 philzon 1200 led. There in 5 gal fabric pots with a peat mix. With dry amendments
So my day temps are Around 75 and my night temps around 69 right now. Rh is 63.
So these girls are in week 5 and just seems like there never drying out I’m only watering half gal each once a week. The plants look good and all I’m just wondering if I should just keep feeding like that or if I could bump it up 2 twice a week

At that stage with that size pot. yes it will take that long to dry out. Are those 5’s?

Four pounds of water a week at that age, in 5 gal. fabrics is a little off but they look great. I use the same size pots with a light
airy mix,1/3rd. perlite, elevate pots, provide air circulation and require 1/2 gal. every 3-4 days at that age for a comparison.
I think they're developing roots and will require more soon. You can't OVER water a well draining medium. The problems
begin when you water too OFTEN, replacing oxygen pockets with moisture and drowning the roots. Good luck
