Ohh the horror ! Things aren't looking so well for my cookies. She's about 18 day old now in Sunshine mix. I've only watered 1 time at around day 9 since the initial water when I planted her. But she sure seems over watered. I took a pic of the roots , is that root rot ? It's hard to see in the picture but the solo cup has about 20 pinholes in the sides of the cup, and 4 larger holes for drainage in the bottom.. Help me fellow solo cuppers !

Looks like the opposite of overwatering to me.. The symptons/signs are similar.. But 2 waterings in 18 days, while in a solo cup, sounds really, really low. Doesn't look like root rot at all.. Medium looks too dry to be root rot. I dont see any wilting or yellowing on the leaves yet. Do the roots have a smell? Like mold/milfew smell?

I couldn't smell anything. I was planning on doing my water tomorrow. I can feel moisture still and some weight to the cup yet. There was no crumbling to the soil, but that could also be because of the roots. I hope you're right though, under watering would be a lot better then the alternative.


Edit: Just added about an inch soil to the bottom of the cup and watered her. Hopefully she picks up.

Root rot usually has a mildew smell. The roots would be brown and slimy looking. You'd also have some leaf damage at some point. They just look droopy to me.. Hopefully they perk right up. And what your feeling in weight. Is probably the weight of the root ball. Solo cup grows will test your skills/knowledge early and often!
 
Homie that girl is thirsty!! Water her, she'll pick up in a couple of hours. I water mines almost every day. 1st feed was yesterday.

So that little bit of brown around the bottom edges nothing to worry about ?

Thanks @Prophetiko , I'll snap another pic tomorrow for follow up. Hopefully they will go back to praying.
 
Get yourself a spray bottle and use that. I got 2, 1 big and 1 small

I spray around the sides of the cup so roots go looking for the water.

Could that be N tox?

I never thought of that, but maybe. They aren't doing any better today after watering yesterday. I just switched from GH to mega crop. So I'm just learning to work with MC. Last week I fed her 50ppm of cal/mag and 100ppm MC, 50 ppm green planet root builder and my base tap water is 250ppm. I adjust the water to 6.1ph, after 3 days my in pot soil always adjusts itself back to 6.8 testing with a accurate 8 soil probe.

the overall ppms are similar to what I would feed with general hydro 3 part formula, but maybe with MC Its too much N.

If you are correct, and a really really hope your not, things are going to go extra bad for me after yesterdays feed...….
