2 cups of water ever 4-5 days... not over watering.Hey! It looks like a watering problem to me, hard to tell if it's underwatered or overwatered from the pic as both show the same symptoms. So, if you're not sure if you overwatered it, do this quick check: Grab a wooden chopstick or similar item, and push it into the soil. If it comes out damp with soil stuck to it, the soil at the bottom of the pot is still wet and needs more time to dry. Think of this as similar to checking if a cake s fully baked, if the toothpick comes out with batter on it it needs more time in the oven. Now, if the chopstick does come out dirty, when did you last water? If it was more than 4-5 days ago, your plant may be experiencing root rot. This is because the soil has been too soggy for too long, and bad fungi is growing in the soil, causing root rot. If that's the case I would suggest repotting into chunkier soil that drains faster so this does not reoccur. Here is some more info on root rot/ how to fix (It also covers soil grows not just hydro): https://www.grobo.io/blogs/growing/what-is-root-rot-and-how-to-solve-in-a-hydroponic-set-up
Idk I haven't had answers to any of my questions so just gonna leave it.Was there ever any answer to PH levels? Or is that not an issue with this soil and nutrient type? I feel it has been one of the top 3 factors to look at when diagnosing issues for my grow. Trying to help and trying to learn at the same time!
Yes I do have air exchange only stuff spayed on plant was nutrients and just water no I haven’t used anything close to the grow area when it comes to cleanersA couple other questions pop into my mind to prevent this from happening again.
1. Do you have air exchange?
Tiny plants don't use much co2 but as they get bigger they eat it up quickly and a small tent can be depleted basically stopping all processes.
2. Did you spray the plant or roots with anything other than nutrients?
Can lead to plants stopping photosynthesis, closing stomata and or transpiration in an attempt at self preservation.
3. Have you used any household cleaners in the room such as windex or other?
Many of these are toxic to plants and mistakenly can be sucked into the tent. In my fishkeeping years I can't count how many time I have seen dead fish from this simple mistake of ppl cleaning the glass with household cleaners and the same applies to plants.
This guy knows more about hydro than I know about anythingIdk I haven't had answers to any of my questions so just gonna leave it.
