Hello community. First post ever. Here goes...
Ok, I’m doing my nut in here. Any help much appreciated.
I’ve been teaching myself to grow by growing outdoors for a few years with relative success but I’ve recently invested in a small grow box and it’s been a steep learning curve!
I’ve got a Girl Scout cookies (photoperiod) plant at the mo, in third week of flowering. 5 days ago it gave her too much water in one go in a poor draining pot. Whoops! The next morning the plant looked droopy (pictures attached) and I knew I’d make a mistake. I’ve since not watered and soil appears to have dried up. I purchased a moisture meter and the soil came up as ‘dry’ and I tested a few different places and depths.
Now I know this is a risky move but I wanted to look at the roots so I lifted it out of the pot and I could see healthy roots, no visible rot, no foul smelling soil. (Picture attached). The soil felt a tiny, tiny bit damp and was compacted. Confused the hell out of me as she still looks overwatered!
Call me mad but I thought since I’d taken it out, I may as well put in a slightly larger pot so I re-homed in an air pot and surrounded it with fresh soil loosely. I guess it’s just a waiting game now. But I’m baffled. Never overwatered a plant before! All the advice I read online says to wait for the soil to dry before watering again but I’m apprehensive to do while it looks so droopy. It’s also got a few brown spots and yellowing lower leaves which I’ve read I should chop off but I don’t want to risk shocking my plant any more.
Anyone have any feedback, thoughts or advice? It would be much appreciated.
