Yeah I just got on big pots living soil as did my friend, I noticed a month or so ago that the lower portion of the soil is very very hard to water almost impossible if you don't have trays underneath. Watering in pots is hard without saying autopots or a drip system.

When you go by the top portion, the bottom is most likely getting hydrophobic is what I'm noticing you're into something.

I think it's being over thunk. 6 weeks in,it's probably just senescense, no?

Living soil works very well with bottom feeding wicking style bases like these:

They are perfect once you have a root system through the whole pot.

• Factors affecting senescence:
  While senescence is natural, factors like nutrient levels, environmental stress, and genetics can influence its progression. For example, reducing nitrogen too early can accelerate senescence and potentially lead to quality issues.
  
  
• Flushing and harvesting:
  Flushing, a process of removing excess nutrients before harvest, can also influence senescence and overall plant health.
  
  I know you dont like AI answers but I never quote anything from AI unless I know its true.
  I had runs where I had the plants green until harvest and runs where senescence appeared even if I was feeding them. I think it depends on the genetics. Some strains seems to prefeer to take nutes from the leaves during the final fattening, probably because its faster, and some seem to be okay if they have food in the soil.
