If you think its a transpiration issue then OP needs to find out what the RH % is in the air and adjust accordingly.Your plants are showing water transpiration symptoms. Keep the air in the tent moving as much as possible so the plants can transpire the excess moisture. Put your hand under the bottom of the fabric in the middle and feel if it's saturated. If it is saturated you need to prop the containers up off the tray to dry in the middle for a while. I use 3 mason jar lids to lift my pots off the floor. Watch your water intake and allow the top inch of the soil or so to dry before watering.
Thats true. But what I said has been true in my experience and grow environment which is between 64-75 degrees Fahrenheit and RH of 55%-65%. Hotter temperatures, lower RH %, increased airflow, and/or stronger light intensity (not to exceed what the plant is capable of utilizing) can all change how frequently the plant needs to be watered. But I wouldn’t recommend anything less than 1.5 gallons every 3 days. Because under/overwatering is a real issue for most new growers. And while that could possibly be slightly overwatering (if in very non-ideal conditions) it certainly wouldnt be overwatering. And even if it were to be, with those being fabric pots; it wouldnt drown the plant by any means." Plants of this size should be requiring about 1.5 gallons of water every other day."
That would depend on the media and temperature, I get 3 days between watering / feeding in 3 gal pots...I get 4 days out of 5 gallon pots with Promix type soils......In the heat of the summer I'll only get 2 days in fabric pots but still 3 in plastic.
You really come off like a season pro with many years of growing but your numbers are way out of line. Even at the height of flower a large plant, say 5' tall in 5 gall pots will be perfectly fine with 40 once of water every day. considering the size of the plant 32 once every 3 days is more in order. Secondly, you last comment about under watering is completely false, small plants needs to be pushed in all media so they will be forced to develop roots. You my friend are part of the problem giving out poor advise.Thats true.

The real danger is under watering at this stage for most new growers (in my experience)

I would never claim to be a seasoned pro in any sense. I do know a thing or two because ive seen a thing or 2 haha. but if you look through any of my post history ill be the first to defer to more experienced growers. That said, I think that often the advice handed out is great…. for seasoned growers. Trying to push the plant to optimize yields can be counterintuitive for people on their first grow and they over stress the plant. I know I did.You really come off like a season pro with many years of growing but your numbers are way out of line.
