My plants are 4 weeks into vegative grow and i can’t figure out why they’re wilting. This is my second grow. Im watering to run off every other day. Feeding them half of the recommended nutrients. Is my soil packed too tight?

I think they look fine. Maybe less happy than what you are used to seeing. Just hang tight is what I would say and make sure not to water until the soil is ready. Not by schedule

I think this could be your problem.
Dont water every other day, wait for the soil to dry out a little between waterings.
If you pick up your bag and its heavy it doesnt need to be watered. If its light its probably time to water.
I think your plants look just fine.

Dry them out. Start over with watering. They can drown and go overnight when hit a certain point. What is your soil?

That’s a lot of hydration for not a lot of plant…as stated above you want a hydrate/dryback cycle. Watering every other day has likely left them a little water logged. They still look pretty good to me…totally recoverable situation.
I’ve got some large and mature plants almost ready for harvest and am going more like 65+ hours between hydrations.

And all day? I was having some drooping issues. I backed off on watering and put in fans and it went away. Too much water saturates and will cause drooping. Too little weakens structures internally and will do the same. Color looks great. Are you allowing you soil to dry/drench process?

Thanks for the advice. I’ve been letting them dry between watering. This is my second grow, im frustrated because i cant figure out what i did wrong this time.

Yeah man, i really think your issue is overwatering.
Your drowning your roots and they arent getting the oxygen they need.
Stop watering. Let those pots dry out completely and then start over.
Id also look into how much runoff youre getting when you do water. You only want a couple cups of runoff.
Your plants will be just fine.
Aside from the obvious, theyre nice and green - thats a good sign.
