Overwatering??

[hubcitygrow25]

I could use some help I was recently watering my plants, and I'm not sure if I water this one too soon or not enough. The other two are nice and perky.

Looks like it but I do coco, I've seen them do funny shit when they have too much or too little..show it a little more attention may not produce as much but its salvageable.

Its still in veg, so I hope it recovers. I'm going to give it two more days before a light feeding and some Cal mag. Still learning and luckily I have two rooted cuttings I took from this Godfather OG.

Lift the pot and see how heavy it is.. Heavy = overwatered.. Light = underwatered..

Sure its not too cold in your grow space?

That's not how it works. Overwatering is watering the plant too frequently. Constantly giving water without letting the pot dry out.

Did you read the OP? I wasn't talking in general... After 50 years I know how it works!

I was referring to your post not the OP. You said heavy pot = overwatered. That's not true and wouldn't want a new grower to read that as fact.

If properly watering and you have just watered the pot will be heavy, that doesn't mean it's overwatered.

Glad to hear you've been growing for 50 years lol.

Unless it is always heavy and not given an opportunity to dry out.
Watering by weight is a tried and true method.

I don't disagree. But simply saying a heavy pot means it's overwatered is simply wrong. Like many things that statement has to be qualified with other facts to make it correct.

more going on then just over watering but correct feeding and they will recover hopefully

when my plants look like that its normally due to fresh transplanting to un correctly buffered coco coir basically the medium is robbing nutrients from the plant and giving the plant stuff it doesn't want to hold on to . coco coir and them damn cation exchange sites

What kind of low grade coco do you use?? Almost all coco nowadays comes prebuffered.

none is correctly buffered wait 2 weeks and the grower will ask why the plants getting brown spots on the leaves . happy growing good luck

I have no issue using Canna Coco Professional right out of the bag. I don't prebuffer my coco, I don't use CalMag and my water is 35 ppm out of the tap. No calcium deficiencies.
