Soil not drying out between waters.

[RockyMountainHi]

Big pots - small plants -

That combo always caused me problems.

If it's wet where there are no roots - it will stay wet. - In that case - if your around your plants a lot, water as soon as the plants start to droop - and not until.

If you have to leave for extended time - it can be a gamble -- but the roots must dry and get air between waterings - so in this case - less is usually better. -

Feed lightly - keep the pH reasonably stabile - once the roots get spread out - life gets easier - for a while.

ummmm you did rough up the root ball when you transplanted????

Yeah I am around them alot, check them pretty much daily. Do you suggest I lightly water since they are just starting to droop?

Also I didn't really transplant into these pots, they were started in rapid rooter plugs then placed directly into the pots in the pics.

Thanks

Frankly - I'd transplant into smaller containers and fix the problem.

You have to water lightly enough not to soak yet heavy enough to get it wet. - too much tight roping.

go to a smaller pot - prolly a 16oz cup filled about 3/4 full with the starter near the bottom - with the wilt you have - they should need water - and right after the re-pot would be perfect time.

DON"T FLOOD THEM - just water somewhat lightly but thoroughly. -- pH 6.1-6.2

Idealy at lights on time.

They should improve soon - do not water again until they get thirsty.

I am watering approx 2 cups per plant. Runoff is around 15-25%, a decent amount. Runoff PH is 6.8. I water with 6.5 PH.

I'm sure this is late AF, but that means your soil is too alkaline, or high in pH. Make sure to adjust that with some sulfur.

I water my veg plants with 6.5ph happy frogs but I use maybe a 1 gallon pot till flower and they might get anywhere from 3-5' tall he's using to big of a pot or he doesn't have enough roots for as much water as he's giving them, so in term pots to damn big for his little plants and he might be watering to much, I might not have any to barely nothing run off like so little I wouldn't beable to ph it but I water my flowering plant everyday once a day and my veg every 1 1/2 to 2 days the mothers or ready to flower plant usually need feed everyday. Oh and I feed my plants everytime I water only time I flush is before harvest 7-14 days

i like a 10% run off when watering. also like to add some additional perlite to help aeration
