I would say overwatered. My method is stick your finger in the medium up to the first knuckle if it’s dry.... water. Or if it fees light she needs water. I would agree with NorCal just a shot glass or two at the moment will be perfect.

My guess is if your asking it's usually overwatering. One or two shot glass fulls right at the stem is enough for her right now. Happy Growing!👊

Yellow leaves
The lower leaves turn yellow Is it due to a lack of nitrogen, or is it self-defoliation of the plant? (photos at week 5) I look forward to your advice) Should other leaves be defoliated or left as they are?

What is the best (cheap) TDS meter? (Also i think they should allow longer questions because 280 characters definitely not enough to describe everything).
On the internet and i found A LOT of TDS meters with prices that vary from 10€ to 200€. I decided to ask you: what do you think is the best cheap TDS meter? What do you use? What's the key thing I should considerate when buying one? Are all the same and i'm askin stupid question?

soil is 6.5 and my water is 6.5 but the run off is in the 4s.
Hi all. I’m confused. My soil is 6.5 and my water is 6.5 but the run off is in the 4s. The plants aren’t liking this so what’s going on? My feed is easy boost by RWS, you mix with the soil and it feeds for the duration. Any ideas where this could be going wrong? Thanks

advice on how to start fertilizing? I read on some blogs that it’s better to water first with demineralized water and then give some with fertilizers, and on other blogs I also read the opposite (first the water with fertilizers and then the demineralized one). opinions? 🤔
