Link to info - First time grow, General setup advice/corrections requested
and another post I made - Diagnoses help please 1st grow
I’m afraid my Pineapple Express auto from fastbuds is looking a little sad. It’s definitely not from overwatering, if anything I’ve underwatered but I don’t think that’s it either. The leaves don’t perk up after I give it a good watering either. I have recently fed all 3 plants with 6 cups of GeneralHydro Trio + calmag at about 300 ppm above tap. Could anyone give me a direction to start looking into? Thanks everyone!

Is that 6 cups split between them ?
Or 6 cups to each one.

It was 6 cups each for the middle and right plant, and 4 cups for the left plant.

Howdy Biomi…if you can fill out this support ticket it will go a long way to helping the guys sort out any issues you may be having. There are so many variables that it is very difficult to diagnose issues without at least this basic information . Thank you Growmie

Good Evening Biomi. Great job on the support ticket. How are your plants today ? Its hard to judge colors thru photographs. Do you see your plants tops being a bit yellow ? Thats how they appear on pics. Look a little hungry to me. At 5 wks I would be edging my nutes a bit higher but I don’t know your soil. Roots organic “lush” I’m sure comes with some organic fertilizers in the soil. I have to tag some Growmies in on this ,due to my lack of knowledge/experience with the soil @dbrn32 @kaptain3d @OGIncognito these guys will be far more knowledgeable concerning your setup. I do know there will be concerns about using GH in organic soil as this is counterintuitive. Bare with me while I find some help.

6 cups isn’t enough to thoroughly soak a 5 gallon pot of soil unless it was already pretty wet. If you’re running wet/dry cycles so roots can get some oxygen between waterings I would expect each watering/feeding to be 1-1.5 gallons. If you’re not allowing root zone to dry out a little before watering/feeding then this is equal to over watering. Sometimes watering right before lights out can throw this off too.
Im not familiar with this blend od Roots, but I really like their original blend.
