My plants are organic, I give them gaia green supplements. I use hydro mars TSW 2000 at 55% power 24 inch from the plant. 5 Gal smart pot.

PH and Medium? I use Dr. Earth and they have to be similar

Calcium/Magnesium would be my guess. Supplement with some blackstrap molasses or something and you should be good

I use epsom salt for the magnesium maybe not enough but last time I watered them I put 15 ml for 6 L. For the calcium I tought the gypsum in the gaia green would do the work. My Ph as always been close to 6.8 I tried to lower it to 6.5 but not working. I will check the ph of my top soil again.

I used 1 part coco mixed with spagnum peat moss (3/4 coco 1/4 peat moss) 1 part compost (3 compost mixed one of them is worm casting) 1 part perlite.
I think the problem is you mixed your own soil and didn't let it cook first. You probably are off on ratios too. I don't know. I also don't like mixing coco with peat, but some people do.

Yeah I didn't let it cook and my ratio is off for sure. My plant never seem to be truly happy and I think they got root rot a month ago but I've used Enzyme Komplete and they survived but never to full health. Also... they have worm in the soil from the compost. I have seen dead worm covered with mold sticked to the pot when transplanting 1.5 gal to 5 gal.

Maybe you're overwatering. Worms are good in organic soil. I have red wigglers in my soil.

yes probably. How much water would you recommand for 5 gal they drink 1 pound of water per day in general.
It depends on how much they're drinking and how fast the medium dries out. It's different for everyone. You just gotta feel the soil, or lift the pots.
