@MrGrowDiarie, atm the soil needs to breath. The recycled is not ment to be satuarated over days, it's more like an indoor soil. The cheap soil well it's cheap, there are wooden pieces (+others) inside for drain, but the uninterupted watering lead to soaking up. Basically, like a sponge - but the wood takes longer to take up water and to release. Overall, pH (blossom well above 9!!!) shift due to drastic release of chalk and imbalances in the microbiotic climate. As the pots are way too big for the roots; it will take ages to dry up (don't think I have to give them water ~2 weeks) - then I can add some or the soil will recover. :yum: Lessons learned: - better drain / more non-soakable material - don't let them stand around for days in constant rain - smaller pots Just one should fix the problems, optimizing would be everything. E.g. if I would have taken 11-16L fabric pots I don't think there would be any problems; except few sunlight :sweat_smile: It's not coco nor any buyable "living soil"; so it's a bit of multifactorial problem without any solution that works in an instant. On the other hand, chances are high that if the soil recovers I don't need to do anything :sweat_smile: I really would go for your proposition and give them everything they need to recover them in an instant but I have no direct availlable nutrition. This is the drawback of my soil, if it works just water, if not wait and :clap: Well I have tried to keep it short :wink: Anyway, thanks for taking the time and interest:blush:
