soil takes 7 days to dry

handamanstarted grow question 5y ago

soil takes 7 days to dry out.. on last feeding I tried using lower amount of water, I also drilled few holes to one flower once already.. is there something I can do about it? I think low temperatures might be reason for this and lack of perlite

Overwatering for days, slow growth 5 days ago I installed the root riots in the clay balls, they were 2 weeks old. I irrigated too much and much less since 3 days (once or twice a day, till they dry). They keep on being overwatered when usually at this stage I irrigate every 2 hours. Any idea ? Room is around 19°c

Only feeding nutes no plain water For some reason my plants are only needing to be watered once a week. My nutrients say to give x amount per week. Should I be giving just plain water as well between feedings, or just keep going with the weekly feedings? 2 are in 5 gallon bags and 2 are in 7 gallon.
