Greetings from Brazil!
Second grow going on.
3 Plants, that are about 45 days old.
Temperature lights on 24-30C and humidity 45 to 65%
Lights HPS 400w dimmable and white 6500k 100W led.
3x3 tent.
Substrate - Sphagnum peat, vermiculite, carbonized rice hull and 25% earthworm castings.
Watering tap water, 1 liter to 1,5 liters every 3-4 days, when pots are light by weight. (60ppm, ph 7,2, alkalinity near zero.) i Dont regulate ph as i use worm casting tea, my first grow i didnt too, and plants where fine till the end. But i dont fertilized cause plants even after heavy waterings, two of them are still heavy dark green, and one is needing a feed. I dont know how they burned, because i only used worm castings in the soild amendment and water, and they burned.
Mistakes made until now: A litte overfert, tips seems burned.
When i transplanted, 21 days old from starter cups to 1 gallon fabric pots, i watered the starter cup, but the new pot was transplanted dry. I dont have to tell you that this shocked the hell of the plants for a week. Then i watered it, and it seems soil is a bit hydrophobic, because the little water i pour, it immediately runs off the pot. And i left the fabric pots touching the plastic tray, wich caused roots to grow a little in the bottom of the pots.
I elevated the pots, so that the bottom has air passing through, but i did 3 or 4 waterings without this technique.
The thing is, now plants are with a really slow growth, you can see by the photos, from what i see in the internet they should be big by now.
And the curious thing, last watering they perched up, and rised like a happy plant should be, and then at the end of the light cycle they wilted, and still wilted by now 2 days after. Soil is wet, top inches still a little wet, and weight shows me there is water.
Could it be that my roots have rotten? Would it be advised to take one of them out of the fabric pots to see if there is rot?
Leaves arent yellowing, no spots on leaves, just slow growth, and wilting.
And the apparently hidrophobic soil, should i submerge the entire bucket in a water + drops of detergent to try to keep moisture more uniform in the medium? Maybe the dry transplant created air gaps, i dont know...
Any help is kindly appreciated, i read a lot but cant seem to understand what is going on.
