Plants are currently about 30 days old in 1 gallon pots of Promix HP mixed 1:1 with chunky perlite, and were potted up from 4 inch pots at 15 days old. They're getting 18/6 under an HLG 350R at 24" dimmed to half strength in a 2x4 closet, average temps are 75-78 with lights on, and 64-68 with lights off. Humidity averages around 50 percent. All the plants have been topped once at around two weeks, and I water to runoff with quarter strength DG Foliage Pro about every 4 days.
In the first image taken 10 days ago, they were looking fairly good. The next two were taken today, and in the past week they've started to droop and yellow, starting from the oldest growth up. I suspect overwatering, and I'm currently watering when the pots feel identical in weight to the empty 1 gallon pot of soil I have in the picture, which happens about every 4 days.
Should I not be watering until runoff? My current guess is that maybe the roots aren't well established, and watering to runoff is leaving them too moist. I don't think it's underwatering, because the leaves aren't drooping close to the stem, they look a little bloated and are lazily hanging down.
