Your roots are suffering friend. How often do you water per week and what kind of water are you using? Do you allow a lot of water to discharge out of the bottom or not any discharge at all?Hellooo Grooowmies,
just want to know what she has. She was the most beautiful and now she looks like this.
I have watered her. BioBizz fertilizer, BioBizz Light mix soil.
Please help
XOXO

the plants in the back look healthier. do they get another feeding schedule or what's the difference?
what's the temperature at the root zone level? especially min. temperature at night.
is there an air intake at the level of the pots? what is the temperature with lights on and off?
what's the size of your pots? big pots need a lot of time to dry out when growing with led lights, especially in winter. can cause overwatering and nutrient symptoms too.

It could be due to various factors, such as water quality, temperature, or expired nutrients and thats just to name a few. My advice would be to implement small, gradual changes and monitor the plants closely.
Hello Friend, unfortunately the soil was too dry. I didn't water enough. Now I have watered again and thought the plants would recover, unfortunately this was not the case. I am currently watering about 400ml per plant every day. I use tap water, filter it and leave it to stand for 24 hours
oh this ist possible. I have night temperature problems the night temperature ist about 18 to 19 degree
The temperatures during the day are around 25-26 degrees and at night an average of 19 degrees. The pots are 18 liters in size. There is an air inlet at the height of the pots, is that a good thing? I have never measured the temperature in the soil
Those plants look dry and like they have been dry a few times.
The problem with watering in 400ml is that you decided on that number. The plant did not. It needs more. I would take a stake or a screw driver and poke some holes deep into the soil. Then water until you have runoff. Let that absorb and do it again until the pot feels heavy. Going forward be consistent with the watering.

What kind of filter?
ps:
got the same soil and fertilizer the complete BB packet. I have similar problems. on my current grow.
I feed according to the BB scheme. I also measure the ph value. plants are fed at 6.3 - 6.5 rainwater + calmag
As the problem has turned out to be very complex. I have bought a soil pH meter for this.
Which has brought me closer to the problem i think. The soil pH was 4.5 - 5.
now im just try to raise my ph to a working level. last measure was 5.5 - 6 in soil.
this dosnt need to apply to your situation. but in case of expired nutrients there is a possiblity.
If u want to check this. you can get a cheap testkit from amazon named "Neudorff pH-Bodentest"
the temperatures are ok, if that is on canopy level i would try to lower the power of the extraction fan or put a ventilator above the led light to blow hot air down to the plants.
that is a lot of water, best is to do a dry-wet cycle for the soil and not water every day.
edit: if the soil is dry and you put 400ml in with 200ml coming out again, it'll not be enough to get the soil wet. maybe you can water more often with less water or soak the whole pot like lester suggested. it needs to be fully soaked if the soil got bone dry at any point.
what filter do you use? i used a britta filter for some weeks but it screwed up the ph and filtered out some good stuff too. my plants looked terrible. never again

I use the filter for like 3 or 4 weeks now. Thank you dude. Will no longer use it.
Thank you
I actually have a good pH meter. I didn't use it because people said it wasn't necessary to measure the pH of BioBizz products. Only under the condition that you let the water stand for 24 hours. You did that too? I will test the pH value today, thank you
Do you mean similar to flushing? Just rinse briefly until everything is wet and then you're done?
yea but normal ph meter is for fluids, not for soil meassurments. i normaly dont use ph meters only if there are problems.
since my tap water isnt chlorinated there is no reasson for me to let it stand 24 h.
but nevermind im mostly using rainwater with a ph of 7,5
im still asking what kind of filter?
