Lets see...My lights are fairly centered over the plants, and yes I did change them to be off centered for the photo so they didn't block the plant :P

I usually stick my finger in about 2 inches deep and if its dry I water....Is this wrong? It usually takes aobut 3-4 days for it to dry to that point. Should I be waiting longer? Do you think its still wet farther down where the main root system is?

I give them a 15-20-15 solution of your basic plant food. Its like 1 teaspoon per gallon. I usually give them about a cupfull every 7-10 days.

The soil is just basic walmart potting soil, And I have mixed in a good deal of pearlite into it. I would say 3/4 is soil with 1/4 pearlite. Maybe even 2/3 soil 1/3 pearlite.

I know something is wrong...I just don't know what

And the little one #1 is definately getting skunky There is just no doubt about it.
