well from the photos they don't look like they are drying or overwatered. Could be a slight water issue but normally the plant can take it. If you are not sure - rather not do, but I personally can't state that more water is needed. You can try giving them 7 instead of 6 for a couple of days and see how they behave but I would not

Your plants appear over-watered to me, based on the leaf texture. It's important to understand that "over-watering" is NOT giving too much water at once. It's watering too often, which deprives roots of sufficient air. Correct watering frequency depends largely on the water retention properties of your media. I've never run BioBizz, so I don't know how helpful my advice is, but I'll tell you that when I run Fox Farm soils (Happy Frog or Ocean Forest...peat based, with perlite, wood chips, and various amendments), I water slowly to runoff, and don't water again until the pots are light.

Hope that helps.

There's nothing wrong with 5 gallon pots...if you adjust your watering accordingly. That said, if you have a tendency to over-water, 3 gals are a little "safer." This is one of the reasons I don't grow autos indoors...I like to transplant into bigger pots as my plants grow. Keeping the pots smaller relative to the plant size makes it a lot easier to avoid over-watering.

Water slowly, move pot to pot and then come back to the first and repeat if needed. This way the water has time to move through the soil before adding more.

You will hear endless ways on how to water your plants and methods are going to contradict each other but it's going to be different between each person, medium type and how compacted it is, among other things are going to play a huge role.

I ran a drip system before and would have to adjust drip rate various times throughout every grow. My drippers clogged because I didn't use water soluble nutrients and had to hand water this grow. My plants have taken 1 quart of water everyday since 2 weeks after I transplanted them from the solo cups into the final pot, I'm in my second week of flower. I usually get no runoff, maybe once a week. It's even the same strain as my last grow and in the same pots with the same soil yet the watering is much different in this grow. I've had no issues at all during this grow.

A lot of people say go by the weight of the pot, if it's light then it needs watered. Some people stick their finger in the soil, some people will cut off your finger for even considering doing that though lol.
