The light is around 24” at full strength, they are in 5 gallon pots now, it’s just strange it’s only the one doing it. The other doesn’t look great but it’s better then the onelooks like light stress and perhaps little overwatering. What's the light settings at? Strength + distance
I dont water till runoff anymore, I tend to find myself overwatering more often when I do that. I'd rather give a little bit (1/2 gal to a 3gal fabric pot) every 2nd/3rd day.
The last time I watered to run off I literally slowly watered for 45 mins, and I still had a few dry spots in the soil when I moved the top 3 inches down on the side. I’m not sure if I’m over watering or certain spots are not getting enoughlooks like light stress and perhaps little overwatering. What's the light settings at? Strength + distance

if the soil is that dry, just give a little water then let sit for 10 minutes then give a little more water and so on. bone dry soil will not absorb very well so do it slowlyi'm just a rookie at pot plants, but that seems to be overwatering to me
They both get the same water, I’m stumpedi'm just a rookie at pot plants, but that seems to be overwatering to me
I did over a 45 mins span 3 days ago, and usaully on the 4th day it will start wilting moreif the soil is that dry, just give a little water then let sit for 10 minutes then give a little more water and so on. bone dry soil will not absorb very well so do it slowly
like i said i'm a rookie at pot, but 1/2 gallon of water every few days seems like allot to me for that size of plant. have yuo done a ppm check on the runoff? maybe you flushed everything out. like i said i'm a rookie and just spouting off the top of my headI did over a 45 mins span 3 days ago, and usaully on the 4th day it will start wilting more
Thanks for the help, will definitely let them dry out and use less waterTwo plants, even two plants of the same genetics, even two plants in the same size pot and with the same media, even two plants that are clones of the same mother, can take differing amounts of water for various reasons. Damage to your root system from previous over/underwatering can leave a plant with less developed roots and make it unable to handle the same amount of water as its fellow.
Considering the size of your plants, it is possible you have been chronically overwatering since you transplanted into those pots. I would really, really try to let it dry out next time, and then water again. With your plants going strong 1 gallon of water for 5 gallon pots isn't excessive, I use 1 gallon of water for 3 gallon pots in flower, but those are established plants that have been in their pots for a few weeks to a month. It could be excessive, however, if your plants' roots haven't grown to fill out your pots.
Yeah I’ve checked just about everything I can check thanks for the help I appreciate itlike i said i'm a rookie at pot, but 1/2 gallon of water every few days seems like allot to me for that size of plant. have yuo done a ppm check on the runoff? maybe you flushed everything out. like i said i'm a rookie and just spouting off the top of my head
Roots won't grow into dry soil, so unless you want wasted space, yes. Fabric pots take some getting used to, I personally prefer old school nursery pots.Mine are Smaller plants, I should still saturate the whole pots ? I’m gonna get a meter or two
Yeah I’ve had issues with my first grow but nothing like this, this ones a real bummerRoots won't grow into dry soil, so unless you want wasted space, yes. Fabric pots take some getting used to, I personally prefer old school nursery pots.
Blastfact pretty much said what I would have, the led white light seems to produce some crinkling in the new growth, as i use mainly CMH lighting and keep the plants small with larger root systems also till stretch i do encounter the wrinkling with led setups i currently have going ( im doing a lil more this year than usual)..Any one else have any input? Much appreciated
That 42%low rh with high temps is causing that taco I think.I let them dry out pots were super light, I gave less water this time yesterday, about 3/4 of a gallon each. the droopy one did look better this morning but a few hours later back down they went. Super stressful
