Simple issue to the trained eye..

Hello, I'm not sure if I am over watering or underwatering or something else, but my girl just doesnt look happy. Am I just being over worried? Or is there something I am doing wrong. This is my first grow by the way, She is about a month old a little over. Ive ben watering her every 3-4 days, but more often due to what I have seen and the fact that the soil feels dry when I check it. I dosed her with fox farm veg nutes about 6 days ago, And just gave more water today. I have her on a 5-9 light cycle. Does it look healthy?
It's a poormans grow by the way.

i think ur being a little overworried, that is a very healthy looking plant. It does appear to be a little overwatered, judging by the curled leaf tips and minor yellowing, and its definately not underwatered; its size may be a little stunted due to minor overwatering. How often do you water? Don't water it until your soil is completely dry, like not just the top, all the way to the bottem. If you can stick your whole finger into the soil and it feels completely dry, wait another day or two and then water. Trust me you will know if your plant really needs water it would looked dried and like it NEEDS water. You would be safe just to water it once a week.
And a 5-9 hour light schedule? What? If that is the hours you have the light on, that is not enough. For vegatative growth you can use 16/8 (16 on 8 off) 18/6(18 on 6 off) or you could keep going up on the amount of hours on (20/4 or 24/0 even). Then once you want to flower it you will reduce the lighting to 12 hours on and 12 hours off. This will induce flowering. Unless its an autoflower, in which case you just leave it on 24/0 or 20/4 its whole life.

Overall the plant does look healthy. It is possible there is too much food available and you don't have enough light to help your plants process it. Fox Farm soils are really rich and if you did not cut the soil with something like perlite or peat they might be a little hot right now.

What's a 5-9 light cycle? 5 AM to 9 PM?
