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!👊

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.
My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive). Been trying to raise with higher PH water, used 7.25PH water today and the runoff was still 5.56. She looks healthy other than some discoloration in some leaves, so it isn't killing her but.....????

Coco vs soil?
So next run I will be going with a coco organic roots medium vs fox farm ocean forest. I guess my question is what should I be doing differently? Ph? Run off? Temp? Perlite?

Help me avoid over/underwatering my girls..
Almost done with 1st week, watering my girls 50-60ml each, once a day in 2L pots. It's 28C (80F), humidity around 65. I check the soil (1inch deep) but still feels a little wet even after one day.(despite little water and 80F) Should I still water them as they are still seedling?

A question for the bag growers. I was underwatering and too often so started watering until getting some runoff. A problem I have is that before the water flows out the bottom it starts leaking from along the sides. making it difficult to judge how much is actually runoff.

Nutes after transplant and spring water
Hello, I have recently transplanted my green friends, is it time for me to start using nutes or should I wait for a bit after the transplant (possibly stunted)? Also I'm using spring water which is 0.0 EC, should I always use calmag to raise it up to 0.6 EC before adding nutes?

Compost Tea Question Mark ?
I’m not adding a tea yet, but when I do I would like to know how much per plant? I only have 2 plants growing in Gaia green amendments. Everything is always 5 gallon recipe, which is fine. I can math. But do you use as much tea as you would with a normal watering? Confused here

Flushing timing
How many weeks do u think flowering before flushing? I want to flush for at least 2-3 weeks. When I did my purple lemonade and one of my lemon pie auto’s and you get a nice fade. It’s hard to know when to stop nutes and start plain water. I was thinking 3 weeks nutes + 2 water.

Low EC in Runoff
If the EC levels of the runoff are consistently lower than what I'm putting in, do I need to raise the EC levels? I've read that this means my plants are feeding well and can do with more, but I wanted to make sure first. Thanks.
