PLEASE HELP MY GIRL IS SICK

[David Black]

Soil is starting to dry out now as was last fed on Friday. Should I let it dry a bit more or do a feed with less nutes and some calmag? And Should I be watering until there’s run off? As every time I’ve watered with a litre there’s been none

Still not fed yet but she’s propped up a fair bit today. Soil seems dry but I’m scared to water and make her droop again

I would think she needs fed now M8 if she hasn't been fed since friday. I see your getting help and hopefully some of the more knowledgeable guys will jump in again about Ph and stuff.. I've never measured mine. Oh and my guess is that 2/2.5L will get a little run off from a 10L airpot. Good luck bro.

Thanks to you all for your help. The thing I’m still not sure of is should I be watering until there is run off? Or just go with a set amount? The other thing, is there a specific method for watering? Like should I put in half my feed and wait a while to soak in and then do the rest? Or just put the whole lot in slowly? Sorry for dumb questions but don’t want to nearly kill her again

..water as much as is needed to get things well moistened, and hefting the pot to feel the weight is a good way to tell once you have "calibrated" yourself by checking how a well watered pot feels vs. one that's feeeling light, and ready,.. finger probe a couple inches down too, if it's dry, it time for at least a surface watering,.. lower in the pot may still be fime, hence the hefting part that tells you if a more heavy watering is needed,... some run-off is fine, 10%, but the soil's own properties and composition play a big role in this, and the holding capacity

Seems like the calmag has helped anyway. Loads of new growth and really sprouted the last week

Week 6 started on Wednesday past. Starting to get quite a lot of white hairs on budding sites so fingers crossed all going well
