It’s been slow from the start . I’ve used this potting mix before and it was great but yeah I feel like it may not be breathing enough maybe ?

Thanks dude . It’s not soil though . It’s potting mix . Still mix 50%?Mix 30-40 maybe even 50% of perlite through your soil, or even alternate it in layers with soil for getting something that's well aerated and drains quickly
I have already repotted it with 50% perlite just to see what happens . It’s just an experimental plant anyway . I was very careful and didn’t damage any roots in the process . The pot feels a lot lighter now which is good . I actually mixed the perlite and repotted before fender bender recommended itIt doesn’t look too bad to me. I think you’re OK, just let it dry out now for a while. Like really dry before you’re next watering if you’re concerned. Add a fan blowing on the pots too if you can to help them dry a little quicker. I wonder if you remove the the wood chips from the top of the pot if that would help?
What is the name of the potting mix? Almost looks like something pre-fertilized or from Scott's.I’ve used this potting mix before and it was great...
It can get a bit confusing but when the potting mix (usually made with a mix of soil containing organic particles and a peat moss or similar amendment) is put into the pot with a plant it becomes a "soil mix" to many gardeners and growers. Same language but the meaning of the words depends on how it is used.It’s not soil though . It’s potting mix .
Good point. Helps the surface of the soil dry faster which will reduce the chance of 'damping off' disease. Plus the air movement helps build stronger cells which means stronger main stems and leaf stems.Add a fan blowing on the pots too if you can to help them dry a little quicker.
A decent potting soil will have some wood chips or small sticks still in it from the composting process. The chips and soil are what is commonly called "aged forest products" as shown on list of ingredients. Any half-way decent potting soil company will keep the percentage of wood chips in mind as they put together their mix.I wonder if you remove the the wood chips from the top of the pot if that would help?
It has no soil at all in it . It’s potting mix so it’s soillessIt probably doesn't differ too much from a lot of general potting soil sold as that barely contains any soil either.
I contacted the company and they confirmed it’s soillessIt probably doesn't differ too much from a lot of general potting soil sold as that barely contains any soil either.
I know, it's just a lot of stuff in the store is also mostly peat, bark & other stuff... anyhow perlite goodIt has no soil at all in it . It’s potting mix so it’s soilless
Yeah hoping the perlite aerates things a little and starts seeing praying leaves instead of drooping at the tips of the leaves . I have some mild lightening of the veins which is also a sign of lack of oxygen . So hopefully it bounces back and if so I’ll go ahead and plant my seeds. Just experimented with this or before I wasted 600 dollars of fastbud seeds.I know, it's just a lot of stuff in the store is also mostly peat, bark & other stuff... anyhow perlite good
From the Searles web site in the link posted above:I contacted the company and they confirmed it’s soilless
Yeah soil as in dirt I don’t know why it just frustrates me when soilless is referred to as soil when it’s not lol I don’t know why but it just doesFrom the Searles web site in the link posted above:
"Searles Advanced Premium Potting Mix® is an enhanced mix with Sustainable Peat blend, Composted Pine Peat, Premium Organic Compost, Composted Sawdust and Washed Sand, for outstanding results in both indoor and outdoor applications."
All of those are important ingredients in any decent soil used for growing plants.
It is all in how we want to define soil.
It’s just lack of oxygen in the medium aka/ overwateringI had this as well. It deformed my leaves. They were useless so I picked them off. I was wondering what causes this as well? Will it stunt the growth. It almost looks like overwatering and a bug of some sort.
