      • I had a moisture problem where the bottom of my fabric pots stayed soggy and cold against the saucer. I added a some foil balls between them and the airflow helped balance the problem.

      • Hmmm. Only a hunch so hopefully others chime in. These are only the steps and thought process I would use. Going from “easy” to “uh oh.”

        If it’s not wind burn from an aggressive fan (easy fix), I might start wondering about a nutrient lockout (less easy). If you are using soil with Grow Dots or something pre blended with soil, adjust water schedule to stay drier for a week and see if that helps? If the plant starts suffering, consider root rot (not as easy) This happened to me once when I reused something from a previous grow as if it were new.

        I am neither Doctor nor Scientist so hope you find the answers you need friend. 🍻 Cheers

      • The damage to these plants leaves is 100% caused by an out of range pH. Never let anyone tell you pH is not important.

        • @jmystro ok thank you I been checking ph would you say it’s too high or low

          • @boommer Only way to know is to check the run off. What’s the pH of your source water?

            • @jmystro checked and the res for the buckets was fine I empty cleaned then put new water with 6.1 ph and then topwatered everything some recharge ph to 6.1 as well I’ll let you know how it goes I don’t have a good way to test the soil at the moment
