Look fine to me. If you grow that strain again may I suggest topping and start supercropping at a very early age and you wont get the giant cornstalk stretch.
You tell us and then we'll see what's going on at the root level and make suggestions once we have the necessary informationI've admittedly never done a slurry. I'll have to get some distilled water. What do you do with information learned from slurry?
Phytophthora or Pythium?
do you have gnats in your soil?
looks like a root infection,What?
Are you suggesting one of those could be the problem?
No gnats. I had thrips pretty bad about a month ago. They did damage to that plant for sure. I sprayed an organic cinnamon and citric acid based product for 3 evenings in a row and it seemed to work.
im not sure trips can spread it, but ive seen it in plants im pretty sure they had to get it from the promix, but i dont know.Are you suggesting one of those could be the problem?

Thank you for the info. I may isolate her now just to be safe.
There are 5 holes on the bottom of each pot. Can I drill side holes with it in there, like now?
I mean you could but at this point might as well just do it after you harvest
it just lets the bottom dry out faster and gives you room if there is ever run off etc
but for like 5 bucks each you really should try the fabric pots
eliminates the problem for the most part
Ya, 1st grow here. I will check out the fabric pots, I know what you're talking about. Not sure if I'm gonna move this venture indoors or not just yet...
Slurry test read pH 6.6
I guarantee the roots are saturated given the rains we had. They just can't seem to dry; they're in a greenhouse so no direct rain but they stayed damp.
Simultaneously though the plants need nutrients/look hungry. Not sure how to water at this point.
Could be early signs of pythium. Look for a product with bacillus amyloliquefaciens. I use hydrogaurd because I'm in hydro. There are soil treatments with this bacteria I just don't remember the names. It's been used for a long time in agriculture to kill and prevent pythium.im not sure trips can spread it, but ive seen it in plants im pretty sure they had to get it from the promix, but i dont know.
if you do see gnats think about isolating her from the others
Those probe style moisture meters need to be hit with a hammer. some people like them, I hit them with hammers.I appreciate everyone's responses and suggestions. I'm so new that I didn't read the ppm (I'm embarrassed to say) so I'll have to do it again tomorrow.
I did discover that my moisture reader for soil is completely off and broken, reading moist when dry. I went into the plant from underneath in one of the holes and it was DRY. I gave everyone a good feeding.
I'm hoping it's something that simple. I'll check ppm tomorrow. Really appreciate the help and to not be made to feel dumb for not knowing!
Also, thanks for the props on the plants :)
