Is the leaf curling on the top right plant normal?
Almost, a little droopy. Should clear up with a little more dry back.
The small ones will be gifted away for a friend of mine who's getting back into it . I've got no space to transplant them . There were originally extras just in case
nice one, i love gifting plants to people too.
I hate the alternative of chopping . Plus I get to make this someone else's problem now too . Lol
Do I need to pH down distilled water , like does the buffers in the soil eventually run out?
I did not start pH ing water until I put nutes in it. It comes out the tap within a pH that people can drink and that is fine for plants.
Kind of depends on whether you’re growing organic or synthetic. If synthetic, when you add nutes you should ph the solution to around 6.2-6.4. If organic, not really an issue. Distilled water should have a ph of 7, which is fine.
How much water / how often? Also what size are the big pots?
Lately one quart for a 3 gal maybe a lil less that that
Every 4-5 days
Ah Kk. I like to water a little more often but less. It’s not easy watering a small plant in a large pot.
Usually the first thing to dry up is the edges . Bottom likes to hold water for a while tho .so I try to give it a longer dry back cycle .
Aye you don’t want the whole soil drying out when this young. Thats only for fully established plants.
very important that fact about the soil.
