What are temp/hum in the grow room?
What light and what is your cycle right now?
How do the plants look?
Are they droopy? thats overwater
If you posts some pics it would be easier to answer your question

I agree... a little info on your growing environment (spelling haha I'm baked and tired) would help out a great deal on diagnosing your problem... unfortunately overwatering and underwatering signs can be difficult at first when starting out.. but you will easily learn (trial and error) post a pic or 2 with your growing info and we can help you out...

You will be able to tell by looking at the roots. take pictures of the roots on the affected plants, also show pictures of affected plants plant structure. There is differences in the way the plant looks in over and/or under watering.

ok heres the info
light cycle 18/6 under 400watts flos
temp 80-88ish
humidity 40-50
ph 5.5-6
ppm 400 (just switched yesterday from 150ppm)

i have three plants. i took two pics of each. one of the leaves and one of the whole plant. the second two plants sufered wind/heat burn the first about ten days. thats the "dryness" you see in the leaves. also how do i increase the humidity in the room. (more outside air, less fan, etc..)
thanks guys

They dont look to bad to me. The roots def. look healthy.

So should I keep the same watering schedule or cut it back to maybe twice a day instead of three times.
Thanks for the help bro.

Ya your plants seem fine to me. Just keep doing what you're doing.

I switched to twice aday because I noticed some algae (and covered the rockwool cubes from light), I think between that and uping the ppm they have doubled in size in about three days.
