Leaf Curl - Over watering??

[Rusty Trichome]

will adding oxygen plus provide the necessary air if overwatering is the problem?

Ummm, no. It's not air, it's a liquid. I still have my first and only bottle. I noticed no improvements till I learned how to properly water. You'd think watering is so simple, but I do remember being frustrated early on, too. If you lift the pot, and it almost feels like it's empty, likely should have watered the night before. (lol...does that help...?) Or there's the bakers method... Stick your finger up to the second nuckle, if the dirt under your fingernail is moist, wait.

Anyway, doubtful you want to add a liquid, to solve overwatering. It does provide the oxygen molecule, but so does letting it dry between watering. Without researching, I heard from a friend that has a friend that said it's base is hydrogen peroxide, but I can't vouch for it being fact.

thanks for info stinky the ? is if i`ve overwatered and now am letting dry out does adding oxygenplus also help by getting oxygen to soggy root system? i understand making some holes in the container will also air out excessive water

The product's intent is to provide oxygen to the roots, but the suction created within the soil, when adding water does the same thing for free. Adding more Oxygen Plus solution will keep the roots wetter for longer. Do the benefits outweigh the negatives...? I don't risk it. It looked like a great idea on the store shelf, but I've got a whole storage shed filled with crap I really thought I could use, lol.
When plant is ready to be watered, add slowly, (add a pint, wait a minute...add a pint, wait a minute...) and measure how many pints or quarts (or cups if small pot) it takes to start seeing the run-off out of the bottom. Write that number down, and use it for future reference. Do this for a couple of pots, and see if similar results occour. If so, that's a good place to start on quantity to add in the future.

i recently read that by cutting a whole 3/4 the way down my grow container would reveal if there was mud from overwatering or dryness from lack of water my trainwrecks were drooping and yellowing of the lower leaves it`s so easy to over react with solutions or worry about the health and do toooo much as a remedy i discovered i wasn`t giving my girls enough water i thoroughly watered and they look much better

Yup, poking holes in sides is fine for larger pots and 5 gallon pails. Does tend to dry-out a day or so quicker, but better a tad too dry, than a tad too rotten.

HTH

p.s. Sorry, guess I had deleted this from my favorites, so didn't get back in a timely manner. My bad. (thanks Stinky) :smokin:
