Hand watering conundrum to skip or not to skip

I’m pretty sure I read every article on here twice my screen time is through the roof last 2 months thanks to the fam. I’m pretty sure my watering is on point but I’m getting a moisture meter this week.
That will help solve some of it.
The goat poop is not helping. It holds too much water on its own. Did you mix the perlite in completely?
Your overall mix is hydrostatic. You need about 50% humus to start when you build organic soil. then add small amounts of the rest. Too much is just as bad, maybe worse than not enough.

I would make a new soil and transplant the one you were going to toss. It will stall. But it should recover.
rinse the roots really well when you switch it. Pix of all of it please.

I did mix the perlite in completely. Not so sure I want to take all the time to replant this one just looking more to avoid future problems. I was not aware of this website till after starting so didn’t have the best organic mix to start with.

Still somewhat happy learning that a lot of this is dealing with the environment and adapting which my homemade is actually performing better at this point.

I do think things are overwatered. What should I do for that? I’ve adjusted my fan to aim at the pots and should water again probably tomorrow should I still do that?

Put an inch of air between them and the floor.
 
@ComfortablyNumb i do have them all raised up off the ground. I used the shelves from one of those plastic greenhouse supported with a piece of wood cause those things are flimsy as hell. This pic is when I first put things together I had 4 sprouts in a 15 gallon pot. Thanks to some sound advice here that configuration was changed promptly

It’s definitely not a whole inch.
Give it a full inch and have a small fan that runs air under them. See how long your problem lasts.
In the meantime, Get a bottle of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Use 1 teaspoon per gallon of soil and very very lightly, water the surface of the soil. (remove any other covering first.) That will get o2 to the plant which is what it needs. The roots are suffocating on this one.
 
Give it a day more. The Hy Peroxide forces oxygen to the roots, but depending on how fast your soil releases water it might take a day or more.
Adding airflow under the fabric pots will speed the drying.
 
So the poor girl was not coming back and I’m taking her out.

@Flat_Eric this has given me more room but I don’t have a net I was thinking of just pulling them apart some with wire or something. Do you think I can still do that is it worth it. I vegged for an eternity so these branches could hold a small baby.

Here are some pics of the tent and some of the flowers.

We have never needed a net because, like yours, our plants are able to support themselves easily.
