My soil is at a ph just above 6. Water is pH of 6.5. All new growth is gravy but the fan leaves are all droopy? I water with 16oz after 5 days but the soil is still moist? wtf

could be early signs of over watering, you might need to get more holes in the bottom of your container for drainage, what kind of soil are you using, did you add any extra perilite etc? If this helps +Rep!

FFOF, the extra holes are a really good idea. we haven't added any perlite since there is SOME in FFOF but if its real good then i might pick some up for when we transplant to 5 gal

pick pu a bag of any brand perilite at any of your local stores for like 2-3$ and just mix some more in to your soil. FFOF does have some in it, (i use ffof as well) but it wasnt enough for my liking, so i basically do 2/3 ffof and 1/3 perilite in my mix, it will add alot more drainage and allow the water to move better, but definitely add more drainage holes! Let the plant dry out a good bit, when you let it dry out the roots will stretch to try and find moisture. Remember, its a weed so it can take some beating and bounce back really well. Water, let it dry, water, not allowing the soil to dry out will lead to drowning it
