Was not watering enough unfortunately I used way to big of pots (10g) so had a lot of dry pockets. More water with nutes brought her back around

Thanks man! I wanted to make sure she was okay before I switched. Wish it was a little sooner but I’m happy with it!

So maybe I spoke too soon... plant has been showing some small signs of fading/yellowing. I believe the main problem is the bigger pots I can only feed once a week, let her dry out and then give her ph’d water the following week. I’m giving her 750-800 ppm of veg+bloom dirty. Is that too long of a span to go without feeding? Id hate to give her more nutes and end up burning her or over watering. Any thoughts? Or am I over thinking?

i’d be feeding every time i water..

 

[Mostlymooses]

Yeah they might just be hungry. I would also recommend feeding every water, pretty much unless you are having issues with over fertilization.

What are you using ? What are the grow conditions? Need some more info ?

Nutes are Veg bloom dirty npk is 8-5-13, temps are steady at 74 and 72 at night. Rh is 45 to 55. I was originally feeding with every water but noticed salt build up on top of my soil so I went with a feed water feed schedule. Thinking she is just hungry but just wanted some opinions.

My last watering washed it off the top but it kinda looked crystaly to me. But as for the bottom of the smart pot is this normal?

If you use non organics, ie. salts, It's normal sorta, but what I do is take a spray bottle, and wash it off from the outside, and give her a good flush every now and again, or rub it even (but wash hands after, or wear gloves) but if you take the time to spray the outsides, you keeping them roots by the surface healthy, clean, and that's got a be a good thing. I try once or twice weekly, I don't go out of my way to over saturate, but when I do give them a good soak, I try to consider if the outside needs washing also.
