slowly drying soil VS transplanting autoflower (Day22)

Slow drying soil is a far smaller problem than trying to transplant 2 different plants that are growing in one container and by now would have massively entangled root balls. Just leave them be..........removing the white sheets would certainly help the soil dry out faster..........reducing the tying down angle would solve your perceived issue with the leaves touching the soil. Also, blasting a fan directly at them like you are, means the plant will spend a lot of energy fighting the wind rather than growing upwards, reducing your potential. Better to have the fan pointed at a wall of your set up and "bounce" the wind onto the plants that way.

Idk man. Transplanting isn't always potting up, and transplanting is always going to be a stressor. bro had a great answer then had to throw that in lol "If normal potting up ever 'shocks' a plant, should just give up gardening, lol." expands to "If [stressing the plant by changing the expected moisture level, expected salt ratios, and manually disturbing the most sensitive parts of the plant and exposing them to free gravity and light which will always stress your plant] ever [stresses your plant], [you] should just give up gardening, lol." a vacuously true statement, leaving him with the implication you should quit cultivating is a wild take

Wenn du jetzt umtopfst, empfehle ich Mycorrhiza und Trichoderma auf den Wurzelballen zu verteilen. Anschließend nur die frische Erde gießen damit die Wurzeln mehr Anreiz zum Wachsen bekommen. Jetzt kann man noch ein Blattspray verwenden, ich habe sehr gute Erfahrung mit Hesi SuperVit in ähnlichen Situationen gemacht.

Your soil looks tons dry in the pic you uploaded, the plants look small though and appear to have a lot of LST applied to them. I try not to transplant my autos. its hit and miss for me. sometimes they do ok. other times they do not. The fan directly on the plants is not ideal, you want air movement and only sometimes on the plants, wind is not always just in one location all the time. it following a rythem/wave i find. Oscillating fans are great for this, however the cheep ones are massive fire hazards get a good one if you do this. The other option is using a strong fan and pointing it into a corner of the tent and allowing it to move the air gently but not directly pointing it as the plants. Light mix is also designed to not compact so much with the added perlite. hard for it to do that on such a young plant. Good points brought up from others about pot size and plant and also increase temps and lowering rh to encourage her to drink more. Also what is on the soil line?? Dryer sheets? or paper towel? WHY? to prevent the stuff from blowing away? or the leaves from touching the medium? adding in a mold risk with that. but its looking clean for now.

Compaction won't cause that much of a difference. Did you press in 3x as much medium into that pot with a 5ton jack? I wouldn't mess with it in this context. Your substrate isn't the cause. It's a ginormous pot with 2 smallish plants in it. tht's why it is taking a week to 'dry.' Potting up generally does not cause much stress. the benefits ofusing an approrpiately sized pot far outweight the miniscule chance you cause any delay in growth. don't handle the rootball like some sort of mongrel, and you'll be fine. In this case you want to strip the substrate and refill with a better constituted substrate, and this would be stressful. Don't do that. Your situation doesn't seem to warrant such an overreaction. There's some perlite in the coco, so it can't be that bad. In the future use seperate pots. use size-appropriate pots and pot up as needed. Your rootball will thank you and it won't be a pain in the ass watering or long, unhealthy drybacks. If normal potting up ever 'shocks' a plant, should just give up gardening, lol. so unless you left the coco bricked up, it's probably fine as is, even if slightly less than idea. 2:1 coco:perlite is a good mix. the pre-packaged 70/30 is close enough.

Hey 👋 Soon stretch will start and your plant will consume the water pretty fast. They look healthy, so can’t be too wrong what you’re doing. Just do as ultraviolet mentioned and try to raise temperature and poke some holes with a skewer… this should help for the moment. Maybe for future grows with such big amount of soil consider to use a fabric pot as this helps to maintain a faster and more consistent drying process. Hope this helped 👊🍀🖖

Tricky, don't wanna transplant an auto, if waters moving too slow up through the plant try to increase the rate at which she uses the water in the pot. Higher temps with lower rh will force her to consume more water, but she will always want more oxygen in that rootzone being a big plastic thing by looks of it. If the soil is compacted just take a BBQ skewer and poke holes all over the soil allowing air to get inside the pot, make sure to have a little airflow of you can. No such thing as too much water only a medium that retains too much for too long. Don't let night cycle sit above 50%rh.
