Indoor Zaaboot has gone to pot 2022 auto spree

[Zaaboot]

Im a lowly muck chucker m8 as you know but I feed small amounts increasing as the plant grows through to watering to pot capacity with a wee bit of run off by the time their fully established then I go wet dry cycle.. easy peas.. Not sure how you would maintain a moisture level in soil.. i'd be concerned about over watering in trying to do so. Is it due to using the Blumats (if thats right name lol) that you want to maintain a moisture level rather then wet and dry cycle? I know youre away quite a bit from your posts so assume wet dry cycle isn't an option for that reason? Is it possible to set the blumats that way???

thanks mate - thats the plan, the way they work is on moisture content, very simple but clever, essentially the clay carrot expands, and contracts very slightly based on water/moisture content around the carrot. In theory, if I can work out the perfect moisture % I want in the soil, I should be able to set them up to keep it at that level. At the moment I am pissing in the wind a bit as I am guessing how moist the soil should be.

If i was home more often, I would for sure handwater - the closer you are to them the easier it is to get it right.

Right then, looks like a book on moisture content of soil is in order - I have 7 days to get this nailed , there aint no stopping a stoner on a mission

I let my plant's use up the water in the soil before I water again. Then soak them threw. Then repeat.

If the soil is soaked then getting some air back into the soil would be my first goal, depending on what stage your plants growth is will matter. If the plant has not rooted out fully you can do a little aeriation at the container edges, run a fan, can you get the pot into the sun outdoors for a few hours?
I don’t know how the soil your using was produced but once the moisture excess is corrected feed your soil and it ought to take care of itself, perhaps a couple handfuls of soil from your other containers could help if it is really active.
Good luck

Getting covered now, fattening up nicely

I super cropped a branch on the CDLCxFS, it was either that or moving the light. All is well me thinks

Hey Hey - a little update on this tent - still working on dialling in the blumats, from what I can see, most of the ladies look absolutely fine but the two NUGz are a touch droopy today. Is this under or over watering, or nothing to do with that at all?

The Predator and the Slaughtered Lambs are growing nicely nomw and the soil feel fine to the touch, not wet, but not dry - watching hte drips from the Blumats, it is really is clever, in the bigger pots you see them dripping one drop at a time and they seem to run most of the day, in the smaller pots every now and then you see them almost hose some water out (they are only 3mm so not any large volume of water) then slow down as the soil moistens until it stops. If I can nail them they will do what I need just fine!

Cant seem to add any picks - oh well, take it from me, the Sawneys are looking tip top, the Barneys is doing well, the CaliDoctor runt is still a bastard, but shbe is growing now

Hey m8.. I know you're no novice so.. trying not to insult your intelligence.. the most obvious things are of course over or under watered.. I assume they're on Blumats like the rest??? Are your pots overly heavy or overly light to lift?? Have they been like that for long? Maybe they were just takin a little rest when you looked in? They're certainly not as perky as the rest of your girls.. which are lookin great BTW.. but still not 'unhealthy' looking to my eye.. just a bit limp.
