exactly why i feel its the potsNo mention of temperature. Are the roots cold?
View attachment 855371 Hey guys, I’m at a point where I’m stuck. It is day 56 and these plants have completely stopped growing the past 2 weeks and I’ve tried mostly everything to get them back up and going again. One of them is still doing alright, (I topped about 2 weeks ago) it’s got two main shoots but still growing slowly though. But the other two haven’t done anything. I had 4 but one of them wilted out and died on me. My rh is around 50% and my ph is always kept at 6. I’ve never dealt with so many dying plants it’s killing me not watching them grow! I’ve only fed them once and I gave em some cal mag today so that’s my only hope. One issue I’ve been constantly having is these air pots, I don’t think I’ll be going back to them. They dry out way too quick and I think that’s what’s causing all this. I don’t mind having to get them back up and veg them for longer, because I have 3 plants in flower right now in my other tent. So I want to get these babies back up again. But for the little tiny lady that I fimmed about a month ago, I’m losing more and more hope haha. Any ideas?
Yeah I’m gonna pull the runt out tonight and look at the roots. All the lower leaves just started to die very quickly. This started about a week a week ago and they haven’t moved since, I fed them some calmag last night so hopefully when I check on em the two good ones are better.If it were cold roots the first thing I’d think you’d see is a P deficiency and that doesn’t look like that. If you pull the runt out wash off the soil and have a look at the roots. What happened to all the lower leaves?
Yeah I know, everything has been fine but the past two weeks everything has just halted on the growth. It’s my 3rd grow and I haven’t had issues like this yet. But I’ve only fed them once and it was a very small strength. My temps are about 70 degrees and my rh stands at about 50.Have they dried out to the point of drooping? Looks over ferted and stunned.
Just to give you an idea that's a 21 day old plant under a 600 and this is a slower strain. At 56 days they should be way bigger

I’m using two 55w cfls, I’m only fed them once at a little strength with fox farm. I keep them about 2 feet away. And I water until the soils is completely dried out(about every two days).The air pots are supposed to dry out the soil faster. You actually run into more issues with too wet soil.
How often do you water and how much runoff do you get?
What nutrients and how often do you feed?
pH at 6.0 is really low for soil. (I don’t even pH that low for my coco.) You want 6.5 - 6.8 for maximum nutrient uptake in soil.
What lights are you using and what’s the distance from the plants?
What are your lights on and lights off temps?
Yeah I’ve never had issues with cold roots. I have 2 5 gals going in my flower tent and they have had air pots they’re whole grow and I didn’t seem to have an issue. My temps stay at about 70 degrees and 50 rh.no better way to halt growth then cold roots. Airy pots will do that
Temp stays usually around 70exactly why i feel its the pots
I suspect over watering and too many nutrients, there is enough food in the soil for the first month of robust growth, after the plant has grown and used up the food in the soil then you can feed, but if you over water and ruin the roots it doesn't matter because the plant can't uptake the nutrients with over water roots.
All you can do now is work on restoring the roots with microbes, or toss them and start over and learn from this experience, after all it takes about five grows to start getting it right.
