Me too. I'm hoping it won't make a huge difference especially since it's a clone so it doesn't have a tap root.

I think the container build is cool.I do not put much stock into the tap root thing.
So I pretty much forgot about this plant and have been totally neglecting it. It's not doing too well but I think the pot shape has something to to with it because it has a ton of roots growing out the bottom and some coming over the top of the soil. If someone wants to help me try and save it then be my guest but I think it's a lost cause.

It's coco.looking over watered and the medium looks muddy.
It's coco.
Any suggestions of what to do? The whole container is basically in the saturation zone.Yeah I figured. Still too wet imo for that little plant. She is fading her lowers from the water stress.

Couldn't tell you without watering again.Well I never used coco but I would let that pot dry out nice and light. Maybe a coco grower will chime in now that we bumped your thread up. What was the ec (ppm) of the runoff?
That could be a multifaceted issue. About how much volume of media is in the container? With seedlings and clones, solo cups of coco can take three or four days to dry out enough to warrant a next watering. Once the roots are robust, it's a different story. You could increase ventilation in the interim and that should help. The media staying wet that long is begging to have gnats take hold soon, in addition to a whole slough of other issues causes by stagnantly wet media like that, including root rot.
There's something about coco that gnats love, especially when it stays wet at the surface. Plenty of threads about that and ways to deal with it. One cannot treat coco like soil either, it's a soilless medium and as such presents the same susceptibility to root rot as rockwool or other inert medias. Hell, soil does too if you leave it soaked long enough and the plant somehow doesn't just outright drown.All my young plants go a week to 10 days between watering the first time or two in each pot. I don’t get gnats unless I water them more often than they need. And I never got root rot. I grow in potting soil not coco but I don’t see the difference there.
