in the 5 gal container? maybe 2 months - i'm not gonna go any bigger, they're too big already.That’s a lot of plant for only 5 gallons of soil. How long has it been in that container?
also noticed the tile floor…. kinda betting there is concrete slab under tile floor - it’s called a heat sink. An indoor concrete slab stays at 55 degrees in winter and jumps to 56 degrees in summer - some strains are more reactive to cold feet, could be the combo of cold feet / wet feet. Have you tried elevating it above the tile floor with wood blocks or milk crate? don’t use brick since it will absorb cool temp from the floor. Sitting on the floor there is definitely lack of air flow under the bucket.
also let’s check on your wet dry cycle thing. How many holes in bottom & what size holes are they? Recently saw a grower had half dozen 1/8 inch holes but problem was a droplet of water is bigger than 1/8 inch so it didn’t drain well at all.
How confident are you on your watering habits? How many days do you wait between watering sessions?
Maybe try this - tilt the bucket to steep 45 degree angle and prop it so it won’t roll or tumble. Leave it propped up for full 24 hours, bucket should pee some water out and reset water table to lower level. Take a pic of the puddlle and post it here.
chicks don’t like to sit in a wet puddle….. most likely it’s nutes etc and the yellow leaves will not turn green again but hopefully it won’t continue to spread,
Best of luck - keep us posted
i did elevate them last year thinking it was too hot - made no difference so i just leave them on the floor without anything under - heat isn't the issue, i had the exact same yellowing indoors with mega crop
those are fabric pots
i'm confident in my water habits, like 9/10 confident, i've been doing a lot of research on watering the last few years, i water every other day.
definitely not an overwatering issue, if underwatering but that's also not the case, i weigh my pots so i know exactly when to water.
what if i just add more mega crop, would that help?
