Yeah what I see is I think you soil has contracted, hopefully you still have some and can add? What size are those pots are they rhizopots? You’re roots seem to be exposed if these are not your final containers? You must now use this opportunity to repot, the only thing you may have lost is time and not much at that. Soil does have buffers and it’s not as vital as say hydro and coco which in science is classed as hydro. Is it only chlorine or is it chloramine? Chloramine is chlorine and ammonia it doesn’t leave from leaving the water standing or oxidation as quick. But this is not gonna effect you growing good weed, this is optimisation.
Organic soil is about micro life preservation. But they don’t mean your not going to grow good weed it just means that if you get it dialed in you can beat anything hydro can throw at you. Seriously though I always top my pots right up due to shrinkage. Have you any drainage know unnecessary in rhizopots, but one less problem to look at while you tweak the rest.
I have switched to rhizopots my self and have tried with and without drainage and find a very small layer of hydro balls or gravel (gravel less desirable if you value your back) can make more manageable if time is of value, and the soil should have enough nitrogen to make it to first feed. Personally I would add some rhizoctonia too the soil your adding and make sure every bit of soil has water drain through it but with a gentle squeeze retains mostuire but does not drip, that is your benchmark damp not soggy white roots not brown, water in circle trying get uniformed dampness!
i personally use a lot of pro active bacteria. They manage your plants keeping your plants healthy. With drinking water most water companies add chlorine or chloramine. The former evaporates over night with exposure. The former is harder to eliminate I still let it settle overnight if you have a fish tank pump this can be very handy. With chlorine you can rid the water in an hour of two chloramine maybe not? I grow in a place where my water is treated with chloramine. My plants grow fine I have deleted my photos off of phone but I entered at least one in the photo comp time ago.
With organic soil ph is more important than water ph! But if you’re ph of water is excessive it can influence soil ph. I use organic apple cyder vinigar as ph down. This is bio friendly rather than phosphoric acid. But add soil and that my be all you need for a weed then it’s up to Seymour lol
Hey how did these turn out in the end? It looks to me like they were overwatered at first then pretty much fine after. Well done for keeping organic!Hwy peeps. Sorry I been quiet just busy with life.
Anyway - everything was going relatively well, but I have an issue I can't seem to get on top of and it seems to be getting worse/progressing. So the tips of some lower leaves started to turn yellow/brown and curl up> i read it could be a zinc deficiency due to lack of N. After over feeding in the begining and gettin a bit of N tox, I backed right off. I went really light into flower, and leaves started to turn yelloow, so I deduced that the zinc def was down to them being hungry/lacking N. SO i upped the feed. The leaves went a nice dark green colour, however the brown/yellow leaf tips progressed from below to up top. Any ideas or help as always greatly appreciated.
Here's some pics.
