Why so sad?

Quick update, it's like there never was a problem! Despite being poorly for a week she's actually sped ahead of her sisters and seems to be enjoying life.

Yeah, different branding but the fat one it is. Not sure how accurate it is when used in a 60/40 clay pebble/ coco medium though....:smoking:

I've grown in that kind of mix before, I've switched to straight up coco since. You need to water a lot with that amount of clay in it, also you ph drops massively the bigger the plant is because there isn't that much water in it to buffer. On the bright side, it's easier to reset the medium quickly.
So long as you maintain a solid runoff, you should be fine; as waira said.

Watering? That's what the Blumat drippers are for

Yeah but it's so porous that a normal single spot drip system doesn't work that well.
