Hi, what's up, guys? Last morning, I just woke up at twilight, found my berries leaves are a lil bit curling. So does that mean they are quite dry ?? But I don't think they are. Because I do often water them like every single day. I am not 100%sure that. Does anyone know about that? Any of suggestions are welcome.I hope they are growing better in the future.

Wondering if something wrong with my grow lights. I think this 300W led grow light should be quite cool for my berries.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Roleadro-Spectrum-Hydroponic-Growing-Vegetables/dp/B01HGQHBAM/ref=sr_1_64?ie=UTF8&qid=1497248109&sr=8-64&keywords=led+plant
If people will have any suggestions or what should I do the next please leave a comment or send a pm to me. I will appreciate it.

Watering everyday? Seems like way too much. I went through overwatering myself. .. for a plant that sized in that sized container I'd prolly be watering every 3 to 4 days unless you have extreme temps in your tent. As an experminent don't water 2 out if the 4 until the containers dry out and they feel really light..them give them a good soak

So , Ive been around a bit and I grow only in "soil" but saying that I still do not know everything so Im going to give you my opinion. Watering a little every day is detrimental to the health of your plant. Watering every day doesnt necessarily mean you are over watering. More likely what you are doing is causing a high salinity environment for your roots . Watering thoroughly regularly until some run off is achieved is not flushing but moisting and distributing nutrients into the soil uniformly. I guess what Im saying is I suspect that your plants actually NEED much more water as to me the leaves look like they are responding to dry conditions in the soil unless their grow environment is 90 degrees . Just my opinion and Im probably wrong lol.

What size pots are those and how much water do you give each plant each day? The amount doesn't have to be exact, just an estimate is fine.

Yep, bro. I think I water them a lil bit too much as well. But if tried to water them like three times one week, but it didn't work out at all. My plants strains leaves are still kepping curling. So that's why I tried to water them in per day. But right now it's becoming a lil yellow above the leaves. I have no idea what is goning on about that.

Leaf twist like that can also come from sudden ph fluctuation

That soil looks fairly dry around the edges.Are you only giving a small amount of water around the stalk per day?

Just try an experiment... fill the same sized container with soil, get a feel for the weight of dry soil. Then soak one of your plants and feel the difference in weight. don't be afraid to let them dry out... Keep a close eye for when the plants start to droop and give em a thorough soak.

Look at how dry this plant it... droopy as hell, a couple hours after watering and it perks back up and looks like a different plant. This is in a 5 gal container and i probably soak it every 3 days in a temp controlled 76F-78F grow box.
