No fabric pots.

 

[InTheShed]

Oof. Is this still the flush water?

 

[MrSauga]

My next recipe if she doesn't improve will be the last one she ever gets!

 

[InTheShed]

You have another recipe waiting in the wings?

 

[MrSauga]

It'll put an end to her once and for all. It's not a nice recipe. You make sure she knows that VG!

 

[Virgin Ground]

Yeah, looks that is the flush water still. It was a week ago today. I figured it was from the high rh that she wasn't drinking.

 

[InTheShed]

Did you immediately follow the flush with a couple of gallons of whatever nute levels you were using at the time?

Sure did. Gave her a few minutes to drain and hit her with 6g/gallon.

 

[InTheShed]

Oh okay, that's good at least. I wonder if the up-canning had anything to do with the problems. I wonder if the roots have grown into the new soil at all.

 

[Virgin Ground]

Should I core her and let her dry that way? Is that the correct term.? Make holes.

 

[InTheShed]

I don't think that the size of the holes (it turns out) that Derby recommends for coring will help dry the soil. Lowering the RH in the tent would be a help though, hard as that is to do. Do you have cloth pots around?

 

[Virgin Ground]

10 gallon ones. No soil.

 

[InTheShed]

The buckets are 5 gallon? There is a big difference between a 5 gallon water bucket and a 10 gallon soil pot. Dry gallons are smaller than liquid gallons. How do they compare in actual measurements?

I was just thinking of sliding the rootball from the bucket into the cloth pot.

 

[Virgin Ground]

The buckets are 5 gallon Menards buckets. The 10 gallon pots are geopots. I have no clue.

 

[InTheShed]

A 5 gallon water bucket will probably be taller but not quite as wide as a 10g cloth bag. It was just a thought. Aim a fan down at the soil surface? Wet feet will also cause deficiencies.

 

[Virgin Ground]

The buckets she was in before are much taller than the geopots. I would have to really break up her roots to make it work.

 

[Virgin Ground]

I was thinking not enough circulation under the bottom of the bucket. The top of the soil gets dry.

 

[InTheShed]

I'm not sure there are roots in the new soil, but I don't think messing with it at this stage is a good idea.

Air circulation below a plastic bucket doesn't matter much, even with holes drilled in. My next thought is to take a 1" hole saw and start drilling holes in the sides of the buckets, but I may be reaching for straws here.

I was thinking of that earlier. Lol. I called them "speed holes" in my mind.

 

[InTheShed]

Now that we know it's not drying out quickly it makes diagnosis a bit more complicated, as I mentioned wet feet can cause deficiencies when the lower roots don't get enough oxygen to breathe.

If you don't mind drilling through the buckets, it couldn't hurt.
