Because of the environment and root mass. Kinda why i feel you need to adjust the waterings and just make sure your getting then good co2 rich air. In a week or ao you should be able to up it but i fond they generally grow into thier needs.

And i feel with the new LED tech way to many ppl are over lighting the plants to early. They will tolerate and utilize maximum light if they are getting everything they beed and are thriving. Short of that it will fanage tye plants and quickly

Honestly the tallest plant has a giant white root ball. no rot on that one and still the same problem.

So I really tried to figure this out but i just dont get it. I have three plants in my self built growbox and i cant get them to grow properly. Ive been growing for years now and I never had this happen before.

I run a 240W Quantum Board with a couple of deep red LEDs in there. 50/50 Canna Coco/Perlite. Ironhead Formula/GHE Nutrients in RO Water. I add couple of bennies and mykorrizae like i always did and it always worked. 18/6 Lights on/off. 72F at night 77-82F lights on. I feed when the pots are light until they drink enough then I feed 1-2 times a day. 1.2EC, 5.8PH.
I dimmed my light everywhere from 5k to 30k lux + lowered and raised it etc.

These plants just dont want to grow. Sometimes they get really droopy, sometimes they start to yellow slightly. Then they peak back up, then they droop again/dont grow etc. Its really confusing.
I tried it all: flush, raise lights, 24h lights on, raise temps, dim lights, turn lights up, water every day, water as usual ... it's just not working and i need help.

Tallest one is drooping a lot, smallest one shows slight yellowing but no drooping. Middle one shows slight drooping but insanely slow growth. I really want to know wtf is going on here.

You are overwatering them that's what they look like from experience

Roots from watering i think 8-10 times a day in pure coco without perlite unlike your 50/50 mix which has way more drainage

Because it was lacking co2. Growth is a like a machine. It will only run as fast as it’s limiting factor

Man I'm in Oklahoma too, Southeast by the river valley and I've always wanted to cruise up towards Tulsa/broken arrow to check out the dispensaries, but now I'm not so sure the hype would live up to what I'd find haha

I mean I don’t think there’s anything to special sure you’ll probably find what you’re looking for but yeah probably not worth the extra trip

Weedmaps could help ya find a certain product at a certain place though
Before you decide to make the trip

is it even possible to save plants with root rot? i dont know if i should try to save them or start over :(

I have.

I’ve saved new clones that started to rot and flowered them out.

And the ones in one of my aerototes even started the brown algae slime, fixed that too using pool shock/clear rez.
