Ok. I misread that. I don't know man. Those look good to me.

Considering that the plant is green and healthy, your slow growth is probably attributed to lack of oxygen in the root zone - also causes the drooping. How much if any perlite is in your soil? Or is it coco?

What size are the air pots?

5 Gal Air Pots.. 30% Pearlite

There isn't much of a chance of there being a lack of oxygen to the root zone in those pots. Odds are if the op is having to water every other day they're maxed out in those pots and need to be potted up and flowered. I don't like to leave plants in pots that have to be watered more often than every 3 days.

Alright.. new pots it is.. this is what happened last time they looked down.. i thought 5 gal pots would be my final pots.. what should i go with then? (what a waste of money)

Is it coco or soil? I use air pots with a 70/30 coco/perlite mix and I feed twice a day to run off.
5 weeks old.

Making sure it works out in the end is the best way to protect your investment. Are those the 5 gallon equivalent? I'd just go with what ever is the next size up and give them a week or just a little longer to set roots before flipping.

It's not a waste of money - mine are only 9ltr (2.4 gal.) and I never have a problem.

Coco Coair Or whatever u call it.. with pearlite mixed in.. (just pure coco on the top right now topped up pots)

 

[chime]

I will be going with Pure Coco when i put them in with the new pots though.

That's a good point. I was assuming soil. If it's soil with organics they're liking getting close to rootbound. If it's Coco with mineral based nutes than it's not likely to be as much of an issue.

7 gal is next size up, will repot tomorrow, then flip to 12/12 .. hopefully all goes well

The best mix is 70/30 coco/perlite. You need to treat it like hydroponics, not soil. It needs to be fed every day.

k ill grab some perlite too..
