Thanks!! How much water for that nute? I am afraid of overwatering them.
Hi Tomy. Generally, weed likes to be well watered in a container that moisture dissipates from quickly so O2 can be available the roots. You can add some 3% diluted hydrogen peroxide to the water for addition O2 to be available. Add around 1 tsp per gallon. You should water until you have about 5 to 10% run off. Use that run off to measure the pH and ppm coming out. Iād be giving your plants at least a quart at time right now. Position a small fan so it passes over the top of the soil to help it to evaporate from the medium. Feed high ppm once per week and then another or two at low ppm until the need for the next high ppm. High ppm is around 700 to 1100 and low is 200 to 500. In the low, focus on roots; guano, earth worm castings, O2, etc.

Hi StickyBudHound. So are you suggesting to water even if the soil is already moisten? I think I have really airy soil mix but it stays wet after flush even 7 days. Fan is going 24/24 and girls are in fabric pots but they are deeper in so air is not going over the soil. I will try to adjust it a little.
I thought I should water only if first 1-2 inches are dry.
My last flush was finished with higher ppm feed so I will wait a bit for soil to dry up and will try to feed them as you suggest!
Thank you so much!

I understand, its a confusing idea to have to wait until theyāre dry before you should water again. I use a hygrometer to see where the moisture level is all around the medium so I can decide if its time to water or not. I water at the point when the hygrometer moisture level is right between the green and yellow indication areas. If it is fully into yellow, the plant needs water. It should never get into the red.
Part of the problem is the plant isnāt uptaking the water, which means no nutrients are really being used and so the plant isnāt growing. The longer it goes on like that, the harder it will be to fix. That would suggest a few things. The medium pH isnāt within the 6.0 to 7.0 pH range, and/or the correct nutrients arenāt being provided that cause the plant to get them into the plant, or the nutrients arenāt being provided in the correct ratios.
To get a better handle on the soil drying as quickly as you need it to, get extra large perlite and mix it with your soil at about a ratio of 1 to 1, so 50% soil and 50% perlite.
How large are the bags theyāre in? 15 L?

Hi! Oh, ok, I use hygrometer as well but I am waiting till the pointer shows almost dry, but when I put a finger in there I still find it little moisted down there. These are only 3l pots.

3L isnāt even a gallon. Thats too small for you to flower in. Can you pot up to about 18 L? The roots need to feel a little less limited. The plants could be root bound and thats why they arenāt uptaking water/nutrients. That will give you the opportunity to add LOTS of perlite, like 50% of the medium with the other half being your same soil.
Changing to bigger pot will be not an upgrade in this caseā¦ I think, because I repoted them 2 weeks ago and roots was realy small reaching not even quarter of that pot. There was a root problem for sure.

Gotcha. Work on roots then. Feed the roots and the plant will come around. 
Thank you so much! One more thing. Do you know may be what cause the leaves pointing up such a strange way? I found plants like that when I woke upā¦

Only a few things cause that. Either its not getting enough nutrients and the top is pulling N from the bottom, the lights are too close or the plant is getting nute burned. I think its more hungry than anything else. Have you fed it yet or still waiting for it to dry out?
When I saw it in the morning I fed them exactly as you suggested. Made a soft fed spray with dolomite lime and NPK and h2o2 as well. This is getting so challenging

Yep, it can definitely be a challenge. Youāll get the hang of it. 
Good, lets see how they look in a few days now. The next water you give them should be a low ppm feed with Mg and Ca in it along with root health nutrients, like bat guano and earthworm castings.
Thank you StickyBudHound you are so helpfull! If you have the PayPal I will buy you a beer!
I appreciate that, but Iāll be happy to just see you get through the grow with some buds for your jar. The first grow is the hardest if you donāt have a natural āgreen thumbā. Thereās a lot to know. Iām about 5 years in to growing now and Iām still finding new stuff to learn about.
Take a read through this. Youāll start to understand how technical it can be.
