This has plagued me for years and I've never been able to work out exactly why it happens.
Plants in coco smart pots, start off fine and then they will sit down and slow transpiration, so then you start to slow irrigation so they do not stay wet for too long, this goes on for a while, they get dark and just thicken up while growing slowly, all the signs in the world of over water with the wet-dry cycle being slow.
Now I take these plants outside and within a day they take off like rockets, which makes me think indoors the pot is not breathing, I have two rooms 10 x10, both identical ventilation 250ml in and 250ml out, with temp speed controller, the rooms stays at 27 day, 22 night. One room atm is powering, the other room is the above problem, next time it could be in the other room where they are sitting down, so then I think if its the rooms they would never be spot on which is not the case when they power they power.
So then I think Im over watering them early, maybe indoors has different air pressure in the pot and that's making my irrigations critical and if I step over that edge even just a little it sits them on their ass, just not sure what is going on but Id love to fix it for good.
Any ideas ?
