@kreikreiI'm sorry but your pot is ~20l and you already got drain after 2.5l? Then you either water way too early or medium is hydrophobic and needs slower watering or the dunk...
I can almost put 2l into my 3.5l pouches if really dried back
how big is your growspace? a closed tent that is?
I’ve used those pots before and this it what happens.
The air pruning creates a dense root mass in the centre compared to solid plastic containers.
When it gets too dry as you said it bounces the water off and you get a false sense of how moist it is if measuring run off. Also 2.5l for a 20l airpot is not enough! Should be around 4lI use 2.5L for 12L
Best thing to do in this scenario is water with 2L then wait 30-40 mins and do it again. Feel
How heavy the pot is? Then continue to water with 4l every 3-4 days since it’s a smaller sized plant and it’s lost a fair few leaves which slows down a plants need for water drastically.
Another tip is add a product with a surfactant in it. Using a BBQ skewer u can put 10-15 holes to help it absorb too.
Best thing is to learn for the next time. Only way I know how to grow alright bud is through learning through my errors.
You’ll get decent bud if you up your feeding add some Epsom salts and improve your watering habits
