Think everything is better now. She is coming back. It's an 8 liter pot and light 400w HPS: 18/6. what do u thing about her size..? she is 24 days old.
Spicy Sativa asked the right question here and I would love to elaborate. Pot size is very important when it comes to balancing your moisture and atmosphere levels. Basically, a smaller pot dries faster, so you water more often sucking fresh air in. On your next run, try starting in a party cup with holes in the bottom. At 14 days she should be ready for a gallon pot (4 litres are closest), and from there go into your 12 liter bag/pot. Or look into fabric pots, they work fantastically.

If it makes you feel any better, ALL of us make overwatering our first mistake. Once you get the feel for it, its all rock n roll!

Yup... That's what I was getting at. Matching the plant size and growth rate to the pot size so that you don't end up drowning your roots.

If you are asking, personally I am a 'no bottles' kinda guy. That being said, you will learn to read your plants soon enough. Just keep popping beans!!

Which Asimos, won't matter if using a cloth pot, because they breath as before mentioned. Does the current pot even have drainage holes?

BTW, it is impossible to drown your roots in the system I use, which uses passive hydroponics, no pump needed to move water or air.
I learned about this from ED Rosenthal, if you don't know who he is he is considered the DANKFATHER or Cannabis.
I took what I gleamed from him and from Sub Cool for I integrated Ed's method for watering and Sub Cool's organic soil recipe in what I call
PHOGS. Passive Hydroponic Organic Grow System.

You can check it out in my signature link.

Anywise ensure you have drainage holes in your containers if you are not going to use cloth ones.
BTW cloth is lighter, reusable, doesn't break, also air prunes roots so you plant continues to build on top instead of under the soil.

DankSwag'n it .... all day long

Did u flush a lot over the last couple days?
if so the soil coulld be to most and be drowning the roots. Let the soil dry for the next couple days and see if that helps. Hope ur ladies are doing well by now. Peace and one love brotha happy growing!:mrgreen:

Isnt flushing pointless in organics?
you cant get rid of the nutes because they are charged/magnetically "stuck to things" like humus particles and cant be leached out?
also the microbes immobilized the nutes because the nutes are tied up in their bodies until they die or get eaten and then they are "mineralized" available to the plants then.
"flushing" in organics is just using a straight watering cycle without nutes.

someone point me in the right direction!
