Why are my clones drying?
Hi! Today is the 13th day since I got cuttings from my plant. Two very small ones already had roots and I put them in a substrate, they're doing fine. However, a bigger one pretty much died when I did that. It did have roots (very small)when I put it in soil, can anyone help?

Hey fellow growers. I currently have a magnesium def that keeps spreading even after the flush. Does anyone have experience with Canna Mono Cal 15% and Canna Mono Mg 7%? Reccomend dosage is 1ml. Only to be used with deficiencies because of the high concentration. Thank you!Cheers

Soil not draining
I am using biobizz light mix in 5gallon fabric pots and finding it doesn't drain well enough, my plants are already in flower so I can't just add more perlite. What can I do to help propper drainage without disturbing my plants?
