This is my first attemp at this questionare, hope I did it right. My plants are starting to wilt in pic 1. Pick 2 they are yellowing around the edges, and pic 3 I think is ok. In the root pic, is it too dry, too wet? I'm stumped.
Thanks in advance for all your help

What size container are they in? When you took the root ball out for the pic... did most of the soil stay intact? Could need a transplant. Knowing the humidity and temp in the grow room is helpful. Was the temp you gave in the actual grow area... or just what the weather channel said?

Ph is too low. In soil you want upwards of 7. Ideal is 6.7 IMO....
Make sure your plants get decently dry before watering too...Not bone dry, but dry an inch or two from the surface.
You should also only be feeding FF nutes the lowest recommended on the soil chart, and doing it every OTHER feeding. These are all mistakes I made whilst using FF stuff too...

I'll try to answer all the replies together. My plants are in 3gal pots. They have been in that size for about 1 month. I use Ph down but I'll not use it next time to raise the Ph a little. And thanks for the compliment on my plants, it's my 1st go and it gives me a bit of encouragement.

Well consider yourself lucky. I killed my first few sets of plants, lol....Didn't have a board like this back then though. I think you will be fine. Just try to get that Ph back up, and let em dry a bit. They look a little water logged to me. Other than that, they are some fine lookin plants. Keep it up, practice makes perfect
