Even with poorly draining soil, you would be better off if you stop over watering. You are likely watering too often, too frequently.[quote=âMacGyverStoner, post:19, topic:4527â]
donât water again until the container feels very very light, as if all the soil is dry

Yes, over watering can cause nutrient deficiencies as the roots are suffocating and not healthy, they cannot properly uptake nutrients if the conditions in the soil stay too wet all the time at the center root mass. Watch the plants, but donât water until this center mass of soil dries out. Then, and only then should you water again, and water to saturation, then repeat the process:[quote=âMacGyverStoner, post:19, topic:4527â]
donât water again until the container feels very very light, as if all the soil is dry, all the way to the bottom (or center), but before the plants show any signs of wilting from lack of water.
