Hi everyone! First time grower here. Growing two plants indoors in coco following instructions and nutrient guide on this site. One plant is Gelato, one is Northern Lights. Gelato was over watered at the seedling stage but roots looked healthy when it was repotted and it has since caught up growth wise after being a bit stunted.
Current problem: Plants are consistently DROOPY and coco has a white substance on the surface. I can't tell if it is mold or residue from our hard water. pH of the coco is normal at 6.5 and I always measure the pH of the water/nutrients and ensure it is between 5.5-6.5 before use. Have ruled out wind burn. I am waiting until coco is totally dry on top, light brown 4+ days between watering because I am worried this is over watering. Since I was also worried about underwatering I did the napkin test and confirmed the coco was still moist so waited to water. Colour of the leaves seem normal to me but this is my first time growing so hard to know. Very few leaves have yellow or brown spots on the tips. Northern lights plant also seems to be growing at a significant angle.
Note: the photo of the white stuff in the soil also shows a leaf with brown spots. This is left over from when the Gelato seedling was over watered and is not new. I have a second photo of newer brown spots that might be more relevant.
Temperature has been within 70-80F since the vegetative stage
Humidity has been low 60s since vegetative stage
Lights are on a 18/6 cycle
Appreciate the help and happy to send more photos or give more info if I have the tools to provide it!
