3 weeks into veg and this one girl isn’t looking too healthy. Droopy and several fan leaves are turning purple like K def. FFOF soil in 5 gal smart pots. Watering 6.2ph tap water whenever my soil moisture meter reads dry about every 2-3 days or so. Shouldn’t need any nutes yet with FFOF, or so I thought. All other ladies in the tent are looking healthy and strong. Any ideas?

Nute lockout due to overwatered. How much water does each plant get?

I highly doubt it could be that, if anything I probably underwater. I wait until the pot is very light and even see a bit of leaf droop, and I use a soil moisture meter. I give each plant around 1 gallon each watering. That’s when it starts to trickle out the bottom.

My 5 gallon pots get 7 quarts. That's 14 pounds it has to lose before watering again. If yours only takes one gallon it's not drying out enough. Constantly wet soil causes root problems and nute lockout.

I usually water when my probe looks about like this and the pot feels very light, and that is damn near at the bottom of the pot.
