Just looking for some expertise.
3 days ago I transferred my clones into 6" rw cubes which previously I soaked in 5.5ph water.
I didn't feed them nutes right off the bat because the cubes were obviously soaking wet. The next day the cubes were still quite wet but I watered with half strength nutes just to get the plants some food.
The following day (yesterday) I did not feed them at all because the cubes were still very wet and heavy and the leaves are a little droopy (sign of overwatering). So I left them overnight and this morning I checked on them and the cubes are still very heavy and wet.
I have the 6" cubes sitting on corrugated plastic roofing panels that are pitched slightly to provide drainage. I am top feeding them by hand right now and the runoff goes down the panel into a gutter system and DTW.
I am worried the plants aren't getting enough nutes and why these cubes are not draining/evaporating water. I don't want to go several days between feedings, but I also do not want to overwater them either.
The plants are still the same size as when I put them in the cubes 3 days ago. They aren't showing any major signs of stress other than the leaves drooping a little like I said.
Any recommendations?
