Personally, I think there's 2 distinct groups of microbes. Some are plant stimulants others are bio-cides. They aren't really the same. However, it looks like you've drawn much the same conclusion I had when I last saw his plants. Some root damage.I watched this congress hearing today about a new restorative agriculture bill. Some guy from California used the term Plant Bio-Stimulants, as encompassing term for what you call bio-cides and inoculants. I like that term a lot. Plant Bio-Stimulants.
Any advise is welcome. Im still learning :) thank you!I hope i'm not giving unsolicited advice lol. I just like putting info out there.
Patience will aid them the most. Don't try to do too much. If you watered today, tomorrow is way too soon and bottom feeding is something that cannabis over the long haul doesn't like.I have watered with just water on 2 occasions since but yes i fed them, they had a massive growth spurt then the wilting started. So just been so puzzled. Going to water them again tomorrow from the bottom. What dya think? Anything i can do to help aid?
All looking dry, but i havnt had the chance to action the above yet. Only from what my friend has shown in the most recent photos.Poke a hole in the bottom 1/3 area of your pot and measure. I see progress. Pot does look dry but is it in the middle under the roots? Let us know what you find.
P.S. Your environment readings are much better today too.
They have been watered but i dont think alot. Need to have a proper look tomorrow.Patience will aid them the most. Don't try to do too much. If you watered today, tomorrow is way too soon and bottom feeding is something that cannabis over the long haul doesn't like.
When was the last time you watered? The probe says they needed it so I hope that's what you did.All looking dry, but i havnt had the chance to action the above yet. Only from what my friend has shown in the most recent photos.
Looking to possibly repot and water this weekend. Any advise of what i can do? Will take some photos of the process for sure. Get a good look at the root structure.
Cannabis doesn't like "partial waterings" either. The correct procedure is to thoroughly water and then allow the plant to dry back before watering again. Over watering actually means watering too often.They have been watered but i dont think alot. Need to have a proper look tomorrow.
Ok Gotcha. I will double check what has been done and see what is needed tomorrow. Thank you for the heads up :)Cannabis doesn't like "partial waterings" either.

Drench them good when you water. Let them dry back. You're in 5 gallon fabric pots? If so, with a DIALED IN environment, they will dry back in 3 days ... 4 days at most. Of course this depends on other variables too but it should give you an idea what frequency they should be watered.Ok Gotcha. I will double check what has been done and see what is needed tomorrow.

Next grow, more perlite. As @Glomus pointed out, vermiculite will help in feeding of the plant through cat-ion exchange. So a little of that would be good too. There's something else you can do but it works best if you start when the plant is a seedling (but stop once the plant is flowering) "Silica." It also will help protect the root zone.
The plants would prefer that it be completed today. 30 seconds? You got to be kidding me. 5 gallon pots are going to need roughly a gallon of water ... maybe 1.25 gallon ... watered in slowly making sure that the whole soil is evenly moistened. You can't do that in 30 seconds.Ok that sounds good.
My friend said the below:
No run off at all, I just watered the top of the pot for about 30 seconds. Still showing dry on the moisture meter.
I think he is trying to keep the soil alive more than anything.
Dya think i can get away with a full watering tomorrow?
Ah bless, no my fault entirely. They are following my lead on this (never looked into indoor growing nuch before i suggested we fo it), and they are a worried as much as i am (both growing for medicinal reasons and lack of finance to purchase from others) so think looking how dry they were, just took the decision before i can get over there to sort it out.The plants would prefer that it be completed today. 30 seconds?

I'm thinking you should be the one taking care of them from this point forward.
Stick that probe in the roots under the plant not out near the bag.Temp was showing as 79 before opening the tent up. We are going to water from the bottom, what dya think?
We use spring water, with a RO filter. Naturally 5.7 - 5.8ph. I use biobizz ph up to get it to read 6.2, should i not be doing this?I also would not be pH'ing the water in a soil grow. It sounds like the right thing but its a hydro/coco thing and shouldn't be done in soil. It frequently causes more problems than it solves. Most professional potting mixes are already well-buffered and extra chemicals upset that balance.
As soon as i get to the grow, it will be the first thing i do! Thanks for the heads up :)Stick that probe in the roots under the plant not out near the bag.
I wouldn't bother with RO at all. I have one and I disconnected the RO stage of my filter and use the carbon and sediment filter only. I'm doing that because my water is extremely alkaline out of the tap and I brew teas. Teas don't respond well to chlorine. However, soil can handle chlorine in normal amounts without upsetting the microbe populations.We use spring water, with a RO filter. Naturally 5.7 - 5.8ph.

So much conflicting info out there its hard to establish a correct route. I guess this where experience comes into play
That's been mentioned several times. It wasn't the only thing up side down but it's a critical thing to do to get things back upright. You're 100% right.What I would’ve done a long time ago Is get an inch of air space underneath those pots. The ridges on those drain pans aren’t cutting it.
