    COCO COIR Droppy leaves. drainage issue?

    Second grow, still new to growing.
    First grow (soil) went well despite running into pest issue early on.

    Alien lights OG Auto week 3

    60/40 coco/perlite, transplanted to 2 gallons fabric pot recently.
    Leaves are droopy, perhaps because of drainage issue? or stunted due to poor transplant technique?
    Takes 3 days for top 1-2 inches to dry out.

    The picture below is taken 6 hours after watering.

    Assume it is drainage issue, how can I fix this?
    Cheers

    The plant looks overwatered/overfed.
    At 40% perlite drainage would be fine.

    Your plant is suffocating and I would do the following.

    increase circulation - air on the entire plant/fabric pot- to help dry out
    lollipop the bottom leaf branch (if not already done)
    pull a couple of inches (depth) of the coco/perlite away from the main stem to the edges, allow oxygen to the roots.
    get the pot on a rack- increasing airflow under the pot.
    poke holes, in a band around the pot about 2-3" from the bottom.
    water only once- then reduce nutrients by 1/2 and add Silica if not already being used
    use a 18/6 or 20/4 light schedule- if on a 24/0 currently

    It's all bullshit - until you smoke it!
