@GrowingGrannie Yes, very interesting, and no, this is my first grow. I do have Happy Frog myco/humic acid soil that I am starting a separate veg cycle with in solo cups under a 4ft CFL, and those plants (same strain) seem much happier. And no, there are no autos...all photos. Thanks for the tips though. I have since propped them up with a few stacks of those tiny drinking fountain plastic cups under the pots with the tent door open and large box fan blowing (not directly) into the tent in the hopes I can evaporate the water quicker without it pooling on the bottom. The plan was to give them their first micro dose of Grow Big today, but I think I would rather give it 24 hours in this new airflow configuration before I add more moisture to the mix, because the plants are not telling me to feed or water them yet (due to probably what you suspected, because the taproot is happy with the water at the bottom). Thank you very much...this is my very first grow and I wanted to use coir because 1) less bugs 2) no nutes in substrate...i wanted to learn through trial and error the nutes needed through the different periods of growth for these 2 particular strains for a while. I plan on sticking with just these until I zone in on what works good for them, and I'm sure I can apply that knowledge with some adjustments to future strains.
