You should soak them when you water and then let them get to where the plants start to wilt before watering again. Put them in a tray and let them soak up the runoff for 30 min, then drain runoff away. If you just water a little here and there and don't soak the whole thing then the plants don't end up able to use the whole pot for roots, dry pockets form in the soil where it stops taking water easily and they end up rootbound even though they may have not even used half the space. Also watering too often and not letting the media get fairly dry between watering quickly leads to plant killing problems like root rot and gnat larvae eating your rotten roots.


That might mean watering once a week or less at first, and then end up every day at the end when they're all fat it just depends. Let the plants tell you, not the meter.

A 250w light can't support 2' of plant. You'll get 6" of fat bud and the rest will be wasted fluff which equals wasted grow time. Grow a handfull of small plants under that or SCROG or something. Finish height less than 1.5 feet tall, more like one foot tall.

Don't go by what some meter says, the plant will wilt when it's dry, then water. While dry lift it and feel how light it is... From then on you can just lift a pot and know when it's close to dry. Huge difference wet vs dry.

Those kind of shitty not so healthy babies is what you get more often than not with miracle grow. Half the time when the plants get bigger and the nutes in the soil wear out then they start to look healthy, the other half of the time they're stunted for life.

Lastly that HPS is over twice as far away as optimal and those cfl's are so far away they're just task lighting, not actually growing anything.
Your pots are way way way too big for that light, the grow area is too big for that light, you need drastic change if you want optimal growth.
