So a day into week 4 the largest plant started to look wilted and sick. I check the soil for the moisture content and it was totally fine (felt moist about a inch down) so I know the wicks are working. It had been needing support for the last 2 weeks as well, I thought it was just top heavy but the more research I did I discovered it could be root rot. Two of the other plants where also showing signs of root rot, with wilting leaves and browning edges as well as one other one was falling over.
I knew if there is root rot it could spread because I rotate the plants so they get hit by the fan at different angles as well as the light, and this means putting all the different pots on all the different reservoirs. I got new soil, FoxFarm Happy Frog Potting Soil, emptied the pots and tossed the old soil. Washed the pots and the reservoirs, put new wicks in the reservoirs, and then did the scary job of transplanting the plants. I don't think they will survive it has been a few hours and they don't look good. 😫
I am now starting new seedlings.............
