This is one of my issues with my peat base. If its dries out i gets water repellant, almost. This soil/peat is on its 4th year of organic use and is a great soil; way better than I could buy.
Weekly update:
The AC/DC is showing odd coloring on some leaves. Nothing detrimental.
Looks like a touch of Magnesium deficiency. The yellowing is starting between the veins. I may add some to the AC/DC next time i water. The new growth on her looks good.
After 1 week, the growth is looking promising for low temps and RH.
She also had to shake off the transplant shock. Leaves are up, even after the molasses drench yesterday.
Mulch was added as well, to keep moisture longer and protect any microbial life at the surface. I am going for the little amounts of daily watering and see if the plant responds nicely. I am not so much concerned of it as I am about ensuring the soil has what it needs. The plant's success will be a by product of tending the soil.
All the clones in solo cups started showing this Mag def. This AC/DC was one of those. I watered all the clones and Bonsai's with Epsom Salt and the greened back up. However the damage was done. New growth looks good on all.
Here is the Harle-Tsu. Still light green but her leaves tell me that we are headed in the right direction.
Next I am going to research how to add those LABS to the soil and as I mentioned, I am going to start doing little waterings daily to keep the outside ring moist and not drenched.
