I am using a home-made bubbleponics system with 9 plants.
4 are The purps and 5 are Blue sage.
The one girl i'm worried about started showing some slouching two days ago and now she's not doing good at all.
I first thought it was over-watering, but i was confused cuz its getting the same amount of food n water just like all the other plants.
so i removed the tube from the netpot so the only roots that were getting some food n water was the strand that hangs just into the water.
There are 9 air stones so the water is full of oxygen. and the strand that hangs into the water is even getting pumped by the airstone below.
But a day later and here I am. The plant is still alive but it isn't looking good at all. The signs of death increased while i slept. The bottom half of the plant is starting to feel a little dry. So I was like wtf how could it of been underwatering it? all the roots are getting what they need and no more. (well i thought) But yeah i put the tubing back in there so they are getting it again but i dono.
I did some research and saw that you can over food without enough oxygen getting to the roots. I have never had that happen to me before because I have air pumps on both sides of the water pumps. That is also why I removed the tubing from the netpot in the first place. Just because there were roots in the water getting tons of oxygen from the air pump below.
But yeah I am really confused of what's going on.
Maybe you can help me
Thanks
