12 inches is pretty close for leds... usually the say 24 plus I think, but leave that to an indoor grower... and they look thirsty, ate you saturating the whole pot when you water? Fabric pots dry out faster than regular pots so you require more frequent watering... but you should saturate and wait till they almost dry out before watering again. I can tell you the guys will want more info on your grow and probably pics in normal light.

They definitely don't look saturated. You can see the wet and dry spots on top of the soil. It's not even for sure unless they've been churning the top soil which I do from time to time to get a feel about 2" down into the soil.

I was going to say the same... and runoff isn't always reliable in fabric pots, or any if it is dry to the bone because it will run right past the packed dry soil and out the bottom. I personally can't stand fabric pots because I can't wrap my head around properly watering with them.

Yeah, the medium can become become hydrophobic if allowed to dry too much. I plan on using fabric pots for all my future grows though. The benefits of aeration is greater than my current plastic pot with drilled holes all over it .

I think I went too big and also was outside... if I did indoor I could probably get a grasp on them... but between the wind and the sun beating on them, they just needed too much water for me to keep up with, so they went in the ground.

That's good knowledge bud. Thanks for elaborating on your situation! I have a decent lot and my plants will take years to cover. So I grow in doors. My balcony is perfect though once the Climbing Hydrangea takes root.

But all seriousness aside. I would think it’s either too much fan, not enough water, or mites.

I personally can't stand fabric pots because I can't wrap my head around properly watering with them. I had two girls in them this year that were not thriving, I cut them out and put them in holes and they blew up... and yes the bottom half my soil was dry so I was indeed failing at watering them enough just as I suspected. Never again for me lol. I'm guessing that may be the case here with runoff judging by the patches of dry soil... that's definitely not saturated.

Nice, I put up chicken wire around my garden and covered it in morning glories... and beyond that my whole yard has a 6 foot wooden fence... fence within a fence... they were pretty well hidden till they hit 6 feet. I had them trained down but we had some wicked wind storms this year, two of my trunks got torn in half and I undid all the ties and the ladies went hog wild lol. Lesson learned, it's hard to train them down when they turn into trees.
