Days 14 and 15:
The brown spots that had started earlier began to spread more noticeably across the leaves, and the plant appeared heavily damaged overall. In contrast, Plant 2 seemed to be handling the transplant better, recovering nicely and looking stronger. I tested the pH runoff during this time and found it to be just under 6, so I ruled out any immediate pH issues. To be safe, I decided to continue watering with pH-balanced water and avoided adding any new nutrients to prevent making the situation worse.
Days 16 - 17:
As the week came to a close, Both Plants continued to struggle, with the brown spots spreading even to some of the new side shoots. Despite my efforts, they weren't bouncing back. Actually, Plant 2 remained stable somehow. At this point, I started wondering whether overfeeding was the actual problem here, as they’d only received light doses of Bio Heaven, Acti-Vera, Root Juice, and Mycotrex.
The environmental conditions were relatively stable, with temperatures staying around 23°C and humidity levels between 50-65%. Still, the ongoing stress on Plant 1 left me concerned. I’ve been carefully monitoring how much water the plants are absorbing and have been watering when they’ve lost around 50% of their pot weight.
Day 21:
By the end of Week 3, I decided to flush both plants with pH 6.2 water. The runoff came out at 6.3 pH, which indicates that the pH levels are within a good range. Hopefully, this flush will help stabilize things moving forward.
For now my guess is overwatering is my main Problem because Plant 1 didn't seem to like the flushing and is showing intense symptoms again and maybe they got some sort of lockout because my pH levels were off, even though i always tested the levels but was maybe a bit too low?
I also started a Fallback Seedling on Day 15 or 16
