if you use the same substrate repeatedly, it is good to revive it, mycorhizzae, various tea… return exhausted life… I “dedicate” the old substrate to the garden and I always give new ones 😁 I would also increase the humidity 🤝
@Mr_Juice, Thanks for the comment - points noted!!
In this particular case a bit of CalMag had it sorted in no time, plant looks really nice again. So no permanent damage done I think.
I am thinking in future I'll probably add about 30% fresh substrate to the used stuff and as you say, some mycorhizzae etc.
As for the humidity, I had a bit of mould on the last one - first time ever!! (I was so pissed about that!!) so I'm ok with the low RH for the moment.
tbh, I haven't yet seen any adverse effect from the level of RH I have, which is pretty much the ambient level as I leave the tent open most of the day.
Thanks and happy growing!! 😃
Edit; I just noticed the RH reading when the photo was taken, 37% is really quite low even for my grow room, its normally about 45% - 55%. 😕
