Problems in organic grow. Overwatering or hungry flowers?

You're looking at a five week old pineapple, transplanted about three times up to a 2 liter pot.

Soil is biobizz light mix ec 1.0.

Humidity is 60%, temperature 23 degrees celsius. Light is 50.000 lux of quantum board

Watering about 100 ml every 3-4 days, when pot feels lighter. About a week ago I started adding fish mix at 2 ml per liter. PH 6.5.

I suspect overwatering, but could it be a deficiency like magnesium is potassium?

Look underfed in my opinion.

You should water until you see drain out of the bottom and then wait for the soil to be around 50% lighter before watering again.

Underfed, they need a balanced feed, you gave them very little in your soil and most fish mixes are far from balanced, lots of stuff missing.

Lowered to 40k lux and will continue feeding at full feed (2 ml biobizz fish mix), as I did for the last two feedings.

Anyone thinking I'm messing up something else too? :)

Humidity, pH, temp are in check. Watering at most twice weekly with small amounts.

If leaves are praying, they’re fine and yours were, so clearly they’re not bothered with the intensity of the light per se. They just want more feeding and make sure you saturate the medium completely and don’t let it get bone dry. You don’t need it and its actually detrimental in organics.
You’re only watering 100ml every 4 days. The medium is 2 litres. You need to saturate it.

Thank you! I'll put this to good use.
