He played all kinds of strange and demented songs all the time I wasn't even sure if you received my message because some kind of security alert hit me and he told me to refresh your page but now I see it did go through LOL I'm not even sure how to refresh page so I just hit reload I guess that's how you do it? that little left hand Arrow circular thing

At the moment I seem to be having a problem with my new young ladies for some reason you're turning yellow I thought maybe I was over watering them but my moisture meter told me it was dry so I went ahead and watered them again, thinking they were too dry and that's they were turning yellow on me there's plenty of food in the soil so at the moment I am transplanting the two widows into some new grow bags of warden order for me... The minute I saw the yellowing I grabbed leaves I looked at them under my microscope to make sure there was no russet mites I didn't see any.. I didn't expect to see any because there's no way they'd be living down here in my basement it's been empty for a few months and according to what I read that's what I needed to do

It rings a bell but honestly had no clue why? Probably in chatter some time.

How are the plants looking droopy? Or perky?

I just transplanted both of them into those two new clock go sacks so now I will see what happens if I guess
The Roots look to be in good shape they were just now starting to do the circular thing that they do in plastic pots

They look hungry and overwatered. The ones in little pots are a hair overwatered.
Will my food monitors put me at level 3 which is supposed to be the right number but I did think I was over watering until my moisture meter told me it was dry

I'm not sure what food monitors are, can only speak to measuring what the solution applied provides. With soil, I'm out of my element. In coco, at that stage, I'd be running ~600ppm of a 3-2-1 ratio nutrient regimen. You very well are significantly underwatered if the moisture meter says it's dry. Over and under watering can present themselves very much the same way -- drooping, soft leafs, low vigor, etc.

However, the underfeeding is apparent, the plants in the fabric pots are suffering from nitrogen deficiency and possibly mag as well.

EDIT: for clarity. a 3-2-1 nutrient ratio could be a single nutrient providing 9-6-3 NPK or a three part of 9-0-0, 0-6-0, 0-0-3. These ratios are not hard-set or definitive in any manner. Just looking to provide an example of a decent, vegetable specific nutrient blend with no particular line in mind.

Yeah thats what I see too. Over or under hard to say after the fact.
I'm going to let up on the watering on the small ones for now . And since I just transplanted the white widows and there's a lot more dirt in there so if I overwatered it should absorb the excess but if I did over water, my moisture meter was apparently lying to me period. I started using a moisture meter because I never heard of years back I wind up with a bunch of nasty little black gnats and that's generally from too much moisture the moisture meter along with a pesticide that is so safe you can literally put it on fur of your animals it even tells you to if your animals have bugs and I can't think of the name indigenous soil or something like that it has a strange name... Like also recently I had to get a dehumidifier for my basement due to the fact that I was getting black mold on my water softener equipment but that's a home remedy now actually it's quite dry down here

So, for gnats in soil, you can do a few things. One, and probably the easiest, is put about 1 inch of sand on top of the dirt. Sand dries incredibly fast, and will prevent the larvae from ever reaching surface. Two is a nice top dressing of diatomaceous earth. The problem with DE is it's useless when it's wet. The third is to bottom water. The surface will not get saturated and the larvae tend to live in the top 2" of soil, so by it staying dry, you eliminate the problem.

Now, to using a moisture meter. Learn your pot weights. Saturate one and get familiar with its weight. You can even use a scale if it helps till you learn what feels right. Now, wait till a plant starts to droop -- look like what you have now. Pick it up, note the difference. When they get light, you water. Otherwise, you don't. Easiest and most reliable method of knowing when to water. I apply this technique to all container plants I grow, not just herb.

3 weigh digital analyzer fertility, ph and temperature fertility is food.. as soon as I saw it starting to Yellow first aid kits for mites then I checked for pH and fertility / food according to my monitor my food is okay my pH is 6.5 / 6.2 on most of them and since cannabis prefers it a little acidic 6.5 is good I
