Problems after transplanting to a fabric pot-Please Help

[Shadow122]

During the 10 days they were in the Solo cups they seemed fine. 1 week into the fabric pots and they don't look healthy at all. Lower leaves are almost all turning yellow. Still keep them under a T5, 6 inches away, outside during sunny days (today)

Any ideas on what's wrong with my plants would be greatly appreciated

Fabric pots tend to dry out much faster then plastic pots.

When I switched to fabric I had to water almost twice as much, also this helps makes sure you don't have any hydrophobic areas in your pots, which can happen because water can flow out of the fabric on the sides.

I also try to water not all at once, I give it like half of what it needs wait 20-30 mins then water the other half.

Another note is that outside on hot days fabric pots that aren't black will help, so your root temps don't get too high, I've seen people wrap panda paper around the fabric to help cool down the roots and slow evaporation.

Hope this helps

you need to water those buddy. 5 gallons and under outside will most likely need to be watered once a day or more.

Looks like they want more nitrogen. The bright sunlight is allowing them to photosynthesize faster.
