Hello.. I really need some help with my grow. I can't figure this out.

Here is a pic of the moisture meter I have that I mentioned. It’s pretty basic and not much to it to make it not work properly. Like unsaid I’ve had it for years now. I’ve always steered away from the fabric pots for a couple reasons. First I’m just not familiar enough with them but also I would feel like fabric could have a tougher time drying out due to it being absorbent compared to plastic. And third I don’t know if they are single use or what do correct me if I’m wrong but they would seem difficult to clean adequately. I agree with someone who mentioned your ph meter could be out of calibration but from my experience you would see yellow and eventual brown spotting as opposed to the whole leaf turning yellow. One other question, maybe you already answered this. What are your temps inside the tent?C6856228-488A-4724-B542-FBE5EA45853B.png

I had one like that for a week before I pitched it cause it was useless
I learned to go by pot feel and never looked back

On bottom feed since sprout, the soil is completely drenched, no dry cycle. They love this and I am surprised they take so much wet. 3 or 4 days old here

holes in medium from testing ph/ecimage.jpg

Even got the moisture meter there lol is reads nearly max wetness in all the pots on bottom feed. The top soil is wet from bottom up

just wanted to share the set up , res is back left corner, and they can pull 500 ml a day (several plants combined), if I put that much in.

bottom left just put in yesterday and topsoil almost wet

one above it with brown tips from ec problem,

That’s cool too. It works for me. I can generally tell by feel as well but I don’t like lifting my pots even the slightest in flower to not disturb the canopy. I find the meter is good at finding wet or dry spots in the soil to make sure the watering was thorough and also to make sure the pot is dry all the way to the bottom before I water again.
