Ok thanks. It's nice soil, designed specifically for cannabis, with pumice for aeration so it drains ok. I'll water them now. I read emilyas post on watering, but I'm still learning. I've over watered before but the soil was different and didn't drain as well (too much peat, my mistake) I was thinking about a pot of hot water in there, would that help the temp and humidity? since I'm off grid on a budget it's a little difficult to maintain conditions without power. I have power to a certain degree, my small inverter can only run the light. Any fans I incorporate into the system must be 12v, hence my use of pc fans. Auto fans use way too much power. I know it would be easier to have grid power, but that defeats my philosophy of keeping a small carbon footprint. Since I never intended to grow, I only installed a small solar system, I will fit more solar capacity asap as funds allow. We just got put into lock down, which means I can't go to the store (stupid covid) so the mulch will come later. I appreciate the feedback. Sorry for the lengthy blah blah blah.If you can bump up your temp to 78⁰ your humidity to 65%
Water the large pots more, especially around the outer edge.
If that soil is anywhere near aerated properly you do not want it to "dry out".
And you should try to get some barley straw or something to use as a mulch layer on the larger soil pots.
