Don't water plants every day. They'd almost certainly be bigger if you weren't doing so. Watering cycles should range from moist all the way through the substrate to at least the top third being completely bone dry. Mature plants grown under good conditions can survive all of the soil drying out completely. I've had plants under a foot tall last over a month with no water at all. Allowing some of the soil to totally dry out between waterings helps to prevent mold and other harmful organisms from getting a foothold. Also, more air can get to the roots when the substrate is dry, often causing a small growth spurt as the soil starts to dry out.
He's using hempy buckets... He HAS to water every day. Everything sounds normal. If you just transplanted them from a bad situation, they could take a week or so to grow new roots and start growing again. Just give them time... -Loki
