No such thing as overwatering, nutrients can only uptake where water is present, the medium must be well saturated frequently to around 5-10% runoff, only a badly composed medium that retains too much moisture alongside an environment that's too moist and damp to promote optimal transpiration. Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a measure of the difference between the amount of water vapor in the air and the amount of water vapor the air can hold at its current temperature. VPD affects both air and soil, causing drying and water stress. We need to make it slightly drier 40-50%rh, higher temps, right now your on 70F too cold for photosynthesis 80F ambient, very little evapotranspiration to occur from medium to air at 70. Water can only uptake or evaporate, if not it stagnates, water is a solvent used for cooling and nutrient transport if its not cycling through the plant well nothing works well including growth, eventually ph always drifts if your unwittingly feeding more than she is consuming, when you feed 100% but transpiration cannot function efficiently she will be limited to only eat what she can use, leading to salt buildup and eventual ph drift.

I don’t see where you check your PH. You need to make sure this is correct. For the medium you’re using it needs to be between 6-7. If your leaves start showing signs of deficiencies soon this may be the problem. You’re also using a lot of bloom nutrients very early into the flower cycle. Some plants are a little more sensitive to this than others. Especially when they aren’t using them just yet.

It looks like over watering - meaning that you water too often, not too much! Let the pots dry out until they're light when lifting them but the sol is still moist, then start the below watering regime, and you'll be golden :) Fabric pots should be fully saturated with water when watering: 1. put the pot in a saucer so the fabric pot can do what it's supposed to do and wick up the run-off water 2. water with 25-33% of the medium volume 3. don't water again until the pot feels light when you lift it but the soil is still moist Looks like you didn't fill the pots with more than 15-17L soil, so water each plant with like 4-5L. Why are you mixing Hesi and Biobizz nutes?
