How old? What medium is this and what nutrients have you used?
Hi G.
How much runoff are you getting on each watering?
Im inclined to think, give it a drink of water until, 15-30% runoff.
Then if it hasn't improved by its next watering, give it a light feed.
Probably something with a balanced NPK% too.
Tbh, i think you have found your issue. Id aim for a good 10% minimum each watering.
Meaning if your pot is 6litres you want a bare minimum of 600ml of waste coming through the pot. Probably closer to a litre.
I think for now give it a good watering, until you get a litre or two of waste runoff
Then watch for improvement. It should perk right up in a day or two.
If it doesn't id take a stab, at giving it a light, balanced feed, on the following watering.
No probs.
Should be swell.
If it doesn't get better, just come back here, and let us all know about the details.
Take it easy G.

What microbe product are you using? Microbes are good mmmmkay.
Why =shit happens
what to do=pick the leaf off smoke one.
Actually I would pick the leaf off, the one across from it and the two lowest branches then smoke one.
Im picking off the lower growth to promote that energy to the top and when I do my ipm I dont miss anything that is lower. I would go ahead and feed it to.

The nutrient selection of your choice. and I like the raw brand microbes if you decide to get any, use at a very low application once a week.
At a guess it was probably the lack of osmosis from the flush with RO water.
Id always be adding a little nutrient to your RO. Even just a touch of tap water.
It should be ok.
Just let it do its thing.
If it keeps going brown, add a smidgen of calmag to your RO next watering. 50 to 100ppm or so would probably be plenty. (200ppm maximum)
If it keeps it up, you might want to top dress with some gypsum or something similar.
On the other hand being promix, you can probably just use calmag.
Generally promix has a really high water holding capacity. So just make sure it isnt saturated for too long. More than a day or so, and you probably want more drainage.
This is only really relevant if you have been using nutes. Nutes give you salt build up if you don't flush a little and it's good practice to have some run off.
I think it's cal mag issues
Agreed.
It was more my worry that it was staying soggy for too long.
Locking out calmag that way?
Isn't there a lot of peat moss etc in promix?
Doesn't it come pre limed as well?
I do agree that a little calmag or similar wouldn't hurt.
Hi G.
Hows the ph of your medium been?
Was there much lime in your promix?
I'd try top dressing with some lime.
Check the ph of your promix. Because if it's fine, i'd be inclined to give gypsum a go. It'll activate faster than lime too.
A calmag supplement would be overkill imo. Doesn't seem to be lacking nitrogen, magnesium, or iron. Calmag would probably be unnecessary.
If the problem persists, check for possible disease. Fungal, viral or the likes. Pretty unlikely, but not impossible.
Pretty good overall.
Check your ph. Make sure it isn't too low, so you know which lime to amend with. Aim for a ph of about 6 - 6.5
Thanks for updating.
Tim.
