@kreikreiI'm sorry but your pot is ~20l and you already got drain after 2.5l? Then you either water way too early or medium is hydrophobic and needs slower watering or the dunk...
I can almost put 2l into my 3.5l pouches if really dried back
how big is your growspace? a closed tent that is?
I’ve used those pots before and this it what happens.
The air pruning creates a dense root mass in the centre compared to solid plastic containers.
When it gets too dry as you said it bounces the water off and you get a false sense of how moist it is if measuring run off. Also 2.5l for a 20l airpot is not enough! Should be around 4lI use 2.5L for 12L
Best thing to do in this scenario is water with 2L then wait 30-40 mins and do it again. Feel
How heavy the pot is? Then continue to water with 4l every 3-4 days since it’s a smaller sized plant and it’s lost a fair few leaves which slows down a plants need for water drastically.
Another tip is add a product with a surfactant in it. Using a BBQ skewer u can put 10-15 holes to help it absorb too.
Best thing is to learn for the next time. Only way I know how to grow alright bud is through learning through my errors.
You’ll get decent bud if you up your feeding add some Epsom salts and improve your watering habits
good luck
