Gaia, Thank you so much for the guidance! I did lift the pots yesterday and they were very light....i gave them a good watering (without any nutes) and crossed my fingers, hoping for the best. this morning i woke up and checked on them around 5:30am and their leaves had lifted !!!! wooo wooo!!!! i gave them a heavy watering with their nutes around 7:30am and when i checked back later in the afternoon, they looked soooo happy....happy enough that i do believe that under-watering was the problem!!!
i can't thank you all enough for the advice and help you gave me through all of this!! you all have very good karma coming your way! it's not easy being green
i'll post some more pics so you all can see the ladies rockin!
