Hi all, Im still worried about the Hanging and folding leafes from one of my plants. The other one is completly fine but this one doesnt look to happy. I have stopped watering them for some days and let the soil dry out almost completly. Since i was worried about overwatering.

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 agree with the statement of no such thing as overwatering as I've seen it many times All depends on your mediums airating. If its to compact and the roots are not grown in it will become waterlogged and overwatered, the signs are like what your plant is displaying. Make note when you do water of the pots weight. Mine change drastically so I know when they want more. and It is best in soil to allow it to mostly dry out then give it more with minimal runoff, means watering slowly over the course of some time, break it down in 10 in increments if you need to. If its soilless mixing in the right amount of perlite should help avoid this all together. 30% for coir and around 50% for peat is a common ratio I see a lot. This way the medium can not hold onto any extra water and be over watered, the only downside is you may need to feed/water it more often as the medium just does not hold as much. I only have to water once every week or 5 days as my medium holds onto a lot. others have to do it more frequently. Your plants are looking healthy to me, so let em go and get a bit dryer, and when watering next, slowly.

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?
