I have 12 plants,l 6 of one strain, 6 of the other, all planted into keg cups as clones on the same day with the same root mass...all watered the same amount (25%runoff) once a day in keg cups then transplanted last week into 1 gallon pots. They are small for their veg time IMO (today is day 27 from planting clones into coco).
I'm pretty sure the problem is OVERwatering on most of them, since I pretty much watered them all when the lightest one needed watering...I just figured since they are all the same pheno of the same strain and had the same root mass, why can't I water them all the same amount and frequency? I picked up the droopy ones today and they were still heavy, I guess I've been watering way too much.
What is the normal watering schedule for you guys in 1 gallon pots with plants my size? A few of the healthier ones feel light after 2 days, the droopy ones haven't drank much at all since their last watering 4 days ago and I think the roots are shot...going by the pics, the first two are from a healthy plant showing the nice white roots, the last two are the problem plants, the roots are green/brown/clear and soggy looking.
If my problem is overwatering...what do I do to restore the droopy non drinking ones? Re-transplant? Just let them dry out and re water and hope new roots will grow?
My Feed mix is
5ml/gal CNS17 Grow
2ml/gal ProTekt Silica
.4ml/gal Drip Clean
1ml/gal Floralicious Plus
2ml/gal Orca (beneficial bacteria/mycorrhizae) .....this additive is supposed to prevent root rot, which has me wondering why my roots are in such bad shape, I guess overwatering will kill roots regardless of your preventative measures?
Comes out to about 0.6EC, or 300ppm...runoff has been 0.8EC or 400PPM.
pH is always 5.6 going in, 5.8 coming out.
