Would breaking up the root ball help at all? That might encourage them to spread out in the new space and maintain the proper moisture in the root zone, since it’s not a compact ball of roots and hard to moisten substrate.

I’ve gone so far as mixing it into bags of compost and will even sprinkle some into my worm bin from time to time, as well as my harvested castings. Super easy, pretty cheap.

The Marijuana Mitten is full of growers, I’m also curious how many Michiganders we’ve got here. I’m West of Grand Rapids close to the coast.

I’m wondering if this could also be over watering? If your roots can’t breathe they can’t process nutrients properly. <div>
Assuming you are in new soil, and using the dots and recharge properly I would be hesitant to assume a PH (microbes should be regulating this in the rhizosphere) or nutrient deficiency. Not saying your PH doesn’t matter but these plants can operate in wide range of soil/water PH with out major issues.
What was the ratio of worm castings to soil? In my experience castings are great at retaining water. If the mix was heavy handed with castings I could see the soil being easy to over water, with a reduced capacity to hold the proper amount of air.
Also, what is your environment like?
Hope your girls bounce back soon.

Ah, my bad, I just assumed they had been in plastic pots previously.
