What’s wrong with my buildasoil grow (newbie)

taking a second look of that root ball... i'm not seeing much drainage material


leave it alone. let them recover.



i don't see why they're telling you to topdress already with fresh soil in the pot... but i would mix it with some compost and 25% drainage material and then water it in on your next watering. mix it dry, don't try and mix it wet, it will turn to mud soup.
Perfect, thx. There’s maybe 15-20 percent drainage in the soil, though it’s hard to tell via the pics. Ok perfect, I just mixed it in dry. Thanks.

i prefer about 40% drainage... i'm wondering if your roots are having a hard time respirating and that's why you're seeing the droopy effect... just a thought

How often should I be watering my 15 gallon fabric pots at this stage?
there is no set amount or frequency. only you can make the call. i'd just water where i notice things are getting too dry first, mainly the outer edges of the fabric pot. water will wick towards the inside when watering the edges.
