Ok, so here is a problem I have never seen. My outdoor plants are 6 feet tall and 5 feet across and up till a few days back were praying and looked fantastic. They are not in need of watering but here are some observations:
1. Been feeding 1/2 strength Alaska fish and calmag every other watering
2. It has been hot for a few days but cools off now and again, its Oregon and the weather varies widely. Watering often when its hot sometimes they are asking daily for water when it is above 90F, otherwise every other day or so. Have not been overwatering because the pots are packed with roots so pretty sure I don't have an over-watering issue
3. They are in 30 gallon fabric pots with Happy Frog, perlite and some coco, pretty light airy soil
4. Pots are literally full of roots, the bags are packed out.
5. Did a slurry test and the PH was about 6.2 and TDS of 100 ppm so I did increase the feeding slightly cause 100 ppm slurry seemed low
6. Water here is super clean at 15-25 ppm out of the tap
7. Pheno selected Cheesequake BX of my own hybrid from cuttings (pheno hunted for the best and then made cuts early this year).
8. Been vegging since early January.
9. The leaves are droopy but the new growth isn't falling like they would if they were really thirsty.
10. After slurry testing and then watering they perked up a little but still look a little bitchy
11. Top dressed with some additional soil to give the roots a small amount of additional room
12. No indications of any sort of bugs or other issues with mold, mildew etc.
They just look a little bitchy like something isn't right and we are 2 weeks from the time they will start to flip. I suppose if the problem is they are root bound and outta room then when they flip they will pretty much stop growing much in the way of new roots but I want to know if it is something else. My suspicion is they are out of room and a little pissed about it but IDK for sure.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Dee
