So .5 gallons of water is too much for a 2 gallon pot ? The 9 day dry back was just the time it took for it to dry out from the last water or " over water ". So your recommended less than a half gallon of water per pot ?9 days since last watering. Yeah this is the issue. Or at least the main issue. They can't breath. Big big reduction in volume of water will help a lot.
Is that thermometer reading correctly?Raised my temps an dropped humidity a bit
Good.Just looking for second opinions on going ahead with a water/feed at this point.
I would water them. As for adding nutrients, I'm not sure. Yellowing of the lower leaves isn't always because they need nutrients. I think I'd just use plain water.Been 9days since last watered. I was expecting some kind of "perk up" from the dry back. Ladies still aren't happy. Soil is extremely dry. I've also noticed yellowing of the bottom leaves. Should I give them their first nute feed an see where this goes ?
For a 2-gallon pot, yes. I'd say about a quart per pot. Be sure to water slowly. (Did someone already mention that?) Put in a little water and wait about 10 minutes before adding more.So your recommended less than a half gallon of water per pot ?
I use salt based nutes so this will be contrary to everything I've ever read or heardSo .5 gallons of water is too much for a 2 gallon pot ?

Nine days seems like a long time, but maybe not if the soil was too wet.
Could I see a close-up picture of the leaves?

My light is set at 30in from pots so just over 2ft. The ppfd is at 375 which is within spec for this stage of growth. My DLI is at 22.5-23. My original thought was too much light, many people have said it was over watering so I let it dry back in total 9days. Going to be watering tomorrow with nutes. I Will take even longer to water pots. I will try your 1/4-1/8 gal at a time method an see how they react. Wish me luckYour lights might be to close also. I would reduce light, and change your water habits, give it a couple weeks and see if they turn around.

Good luck they need very little volume of water start with 1/4 quart 1/8th gallon, wait check, add a little (very little) more if needed.I use salt based nutes so this will be contrary to everything I've ever read or heard
