1/4 cup of liquid is not going to do a thing. To me, your plants look rather over fed. You seem to be giving a lot of different nutrients at close to full/over strength of each, plus your substrate has added fertilizer, limestone (Ph up) and calcium nitrate too. The hydrated lime would be the reason your substrate is 8.0, so I would find another way to adjust the solutions' Ph. Your new substrate has a lot of "goodness" in it already, so I would be easing right back off the nutrients at this stage, especially since they have been freshly transplanted. Also, fill your grow bags right up, this will provide much more room for root development and stop the roots growing through the bag so early. I would try avoiding transplanting them while in flower, any root damage/disturbance during flowering can freak your plants out. Far better to pot them up during veg, well before flipping so that the plant has completely recovered from any transplanting issues and can then go onto flowering without any upsets, even if it is less convenient for you. When it comes to watering, you want to aim for having the entire substrate moist, but not wet and without dry spots. A decent watering, to run off, every few days is much better than a little water often. Both the nutrients and the roots need moist substrate to perform at their best. Dry spots will prevent root growth and make nutrients unavailable to your plant. If the substrate is super dry still, giving 500ml every half hour for two hours (2 litres in total) will allow some of the water to be absorbed before the next lot of water is given. If you try and give all 2 litres at once, most likely the majority of the water will run straight through the pot, due to the substrate having become "hydrophobic" or over dry. Once the top inch or so of the substrate has become dry, it is ready for more water. The easiest and cheapest moisture meter is your finger. Just poke it into the substrate and an answer to how dry it is will become apparent almost immediately. Depending on temps, this could be anything from 1-5 days. Remember - evenly moist and not too dry or too wet either. After a bit more experience and observation, you will "just know" when it is time to water and how much. Most of it is "gut feeling" or intuition/being "tuned in" to your babies. Good luck and happy growing! Hope this helps,... Organoman.
