no too bad...

no too bad...

i think the way you have them crowded in their containers may be part of the problem

good on you for diluting the miracle grow...probably would be dead if you hadn't...

re-pot into containers that will let them 'breathe' a bit...make sure they have drainage holes in the bottoms...

no more ferts until they can handle it.

you are using purchased water...it should be at 7.0 for pH...can you mix some lime into your soil mix for when you re-pot them...this will help a little. you won't need much...a couple of tablespoons will do...mix it up nice...



p.s. TDS/EC/PPM is the measure of the nutrients (how strong of a dose).

Total Dissolved Solids
Electrical Conductivity
Parts Per Million
 
thats only 2 planets in the big one... Newb mistake, I originaly had 3 but saved the middle one into the gatoraide cup. I was trying to save space they are so entwined and the root is so big that if i moved them that would kill them, the entire bottom of the bin is nothing but root mass

Each one has 5 big holes for draining

should i flush the soil to be safe or would that then overwater them since they look kinda over watered as it is... when should i add the super bloom?

let them dry out first.

cut the container off of them so you don't hurt the,m.

NO BLOOM FERTS YET!!!

give plain water, let them dry out, give plain water, let them dry out...then give bloom ferts at 1/2 strength...let them dry out...plain water, dry out, plain water dry out...

don't feed them with each watering.
 
thanks for the help, Turns out one of the 2 was a male... so i had to cull him :( poor dude... his only crime was growing a pair...

so i poped the lady out, she was showing pistils, And cut the rootmass and transplanted her as well with new fresh soil. Hopefuly this will speed up the process of fixing the issue.

but man is she mad at me... Not wilting, But you can tell.

when you said lime.. did you mean the fruit?
