Overwatering or root rot in flower tell me what I should do

[Observationist]

Im already in flower though. I'm worried transplanting now could hurt them. And they're in fabric so I know they're not root bound.

Still think I should transplant?

If I do should I cut roots back?

leave it then.

just adequately feed and water, but not too much like you have lol......

my bad for not reading properly - I would avoid transplanting in flower unless they are 11+ week sativas

Its also possible that you packed your soil a bit too tight that happened to me a handful of times in the beginning years. Sometimes if you accidentally pack it too tight what happens is it squeezes out all the air pockets in the soil. So then if you accidentally overwater on top of that it is like a double negative a recipe for oxygen issues. You gotta use a nice medium hand when packing the soil not too loose or else it dries out too fast, also not too tight or else it takes forever to dry out. A medium soil pack preferably in fabric (although plastic can still work) and then make sure you let it dry out all the way in between the waterings. This way it allows the pockets in the soil to fill back up with air and oxygen before you water them again.

Day four no water.... Plants are looking even worse today.

But seriously they will be bone dry by tomorrow but still look like crap. They are in 1 gallon fabric pots and haven't been watered since the 31st. I thought they would start looking better by today. But your saying no on the hydroguard just wait it out?

Something is wrong; probably root rot. Plants that size in 1 gallon bags should be needing water every 1-2 days. You're not too far into flower to save them. I'd transplant and go back to 18 for a week.

Ok so as long as theres no pistils your technically not flowering yet.. If you lift them and they are weightless then they are dry.. the next question I have for you is Upload Videoshow far is your light and what percent is it set at and whens the last time you adjusted?

those leaves/plant really don’t have the appearance of needing water but look more stiff bloated from too much watering..
the leaf stem is stiff rather than limp..

[GNick55]

nick is in the zone for questions hahaha!

How much light are they getting? 4 days no water they should be dead, unless the light is 3' high on 20%.

i think i did tell him to raise it some while the plants are not doing so great.

i just wanna know if he overwatered by mistake a few times, at what level did you water them?
The fabric pot is somewhat moist from the looks of it, but not to a point that he leafs would be droopy like this? So, correct me if im wrong but if the soil is locked. I dnt know if he knows his ppm/ph of soil but that's just my thought

Classic over watering. remember, over watering is not too much, it's too often.

ya, you see the leaf stems they are not limp looking, but more stiff with a curled down leaf, with bloated looks to them, classic signs of over watering.,
but we need some info from the grower..

Still think I should transplant?

If I do should I cut roots back?

Evaluate the roots and if they look bad or are a little funky, dont feel nervous about cutting a little off the bottom and sides. Roots grow back quick! Just don't bombard them with light for a day or two.
