I think is overwatering or lockout Because > on 16.09 18.09 19.09 I made a watering with fertilizers. The problem is that I did not do normal irrigation with clean water. I water only with fertilizers. I'm with an airpot and with a thin skewer I inserted and made holes for oxygen

3x500 looks like 500 ml 10 min break again 500 ml 10 min break last 500 ml that way pot will soak all through , collect excess with sponge . that you can put for garden flowers or to toilet

you have 3 things to sort and you will catch up everything 1. bad watering habbit 2. sorting leftovers off overfeeding 3. Sorting humidity 1. Very hard to understand when and how much while plant progress, but now they reach till edges of pots with leaves, same theirs root reach. For having good watering regime - ALWAYS lift pots do know, when they are easy to lift, really easy, then its time to water. Divide your amount - i would guess- for 11 L - i would go : 3x500ml in 10-15 min intervals for smaller ones , 4x500 ml to biggest. Ph 6.3 2. only because you overfed don't stop all nutes, have such regime : plain water, plain water +0.5ml/l calmag feed - 50% strength of BioBizz recommended doze for that week, you should be on week 3 of flower by then, and repeat same pattern till the flush time, then cut all nutes and keep with just plain water 3. Humidity - i found best way is towel, just soak it in water, hang it in tent, soak it in water hang it in the tent, WASH IT , hang in the tent . You need one towel and hanger. While towel will dry ( fat bath type) your humidity will be good at week 5 of flower - stop all humidity raises, that dry rh will prevent you from mold and etc. Happy Growing !!!

I see 20% perlite. Did the soil come with any? Unless you are doing some super soil thing, I'd suggest a 50/50 split of perlite (or similar) with soil. This ensures proper oxygaenation in root zone and nearly impossible to drown roots when irrigating. "16.09 18.09 19.09 I made a watering with fertilizers. The problem is that I did not do normal irrigation with clean water. I water only with fertilizers" This may be a matter of translation, so I'm just going to go over a proper practice of irrigating - whether with fertilizer or not, it is the same process. Always irrigate enough to be certain the entire pot is roughly equally saturated. Some runoff occurring ensure this is the case for the most part (assuming not hydrophobic). Try to limit runoff as best you can in a soil grow. Wait for top 1" to dry (2.5cm or a knuckle etc) before irrigating again. It is a good idea to learn the weight of the pot when dry. Weight will be easier than sticking your knuckle in. A simple lift on edge of pot to learn what it feels like when ready for water. If you do this at a similar point, it will require a similar volume of water. From there you can better guesstimate how much fertilized water to mix up, if adding ferts "this" irrigation cycle. Dont try to give each pot a volume of water you randomly choose. Let the dry pot dictate that volume. Whatever it is, it'll be fairly consistent if you water at same weight. Can do the math from there when fertilizing so you don't mix up too much or too little. Fertilization -- simply stick to schedule. Irrigate the same exact way with proper dose of fertilizer mixed in. How frequently you add fertilizer is dependent on how strong of a dose you use. Every irrigation will be a light dose. Every 2nd irrigation will be more concentration. Every 3rd irrigation it must be even higher concentration. In general you'll have better results giving fertilizer on demand, i.e. more frequently at lower doses. Is it worth the extra effort? Experiment because it'll be 100% personal preference. About what ernesttwwg mentioned -- the patchy dryness in some pictures is why he is concerned about the soil being hydrophobic. Definitely a possibility. A wetting agent will help here. Some yucca extract or even a very small bit of Castille soap or Dawn Soap or similar (no dyes, no fragrance-added dish soap) per gallon. A wetting agent will help break down the organic gunk that builds up a shell around bits of soil and causes it to repell water rather than absorb it. Usually pretty obvious when this is the case... water will often seem like it fell through the soil rather than absorbed and leaked out the bottom. It will quickly run out the bottom in an unnatural way.

Your soil may have gone hydrophobic. It happens to soil that has one part peat moss in the mixture. If this happens, you have to either slowly water the soil, wait for it to absorb, and give it more until your break the hydrophobia. Or, you can put it in a tray to bottom water and it might wick up the medium. Or, do both. At the same time, though, your soil could be too wet and causing problems for your roots. Stick a finger in the soil and see how wet it is. If it feels pretty wet, or smells kind of like a swamp, check your roots if you can. If your roots are good but your soil is wet, let it dry out over 3 days and then check the moisture of it again. I hope this helps.

Hi there They do look abit sad .. they look over watered to me, Looking at your diary your watering roughly 1.2 - 1.8l every other day i would cut it down abit and give them time to dry out.. are you saying you watered them with just fertiliser and no water?? If so you’ve probably over feed them and i would do a small flush, Best of luck 🌱
