Growing in promix HP. No matter how dry my plants get they seem to always be standing up. Maybe a little droopy but they are so dry i would think they would be dying. Extremely light and bone all the way down. 24% humidity. Does anyone know why?7F9E7F1D-C22F-43E3-A282-C9E57AC1F363.jpeg47759935-C52A-48D1-A864-D0726BA6AA7C.jpeg0B866FAD-5467-4C76-B7DF-95F0DE6DC331.jpeg

In soil they like to dry out between watering. It helps root development and is suggested. Make the roots search for water. If you continue to not water they will quickly let you know they are thirsty.

This is growing in promix HP which is soilless but has a similar concept. The thing is they never show really bad signs of under watering. Just go like this. I expect a lot worse because they say it should be similar to overwatering but that is obviously BS.

Are you like trying to see how long it takes to kill them for research or something?

No. I have been having a problem getting my watering down. Kept thinking i was overwatering due to responses online so thought i would wait till they were underwatered and see how things feel but they just kept going. Today i thought i would dig in a bit to see if there was any moisture and they are completely dry.

In case you don’t realize although they are alive they are not thriving
Looks like you’ll learn a lesson or two though

They don't need to always be soaking wet, if you let them dry too much root tips will die back and the plants can wilt. That wouldn't be a good start.
Promix HP tends to hold moisture really well, one time I ran the promix bx and it held way too much water for regular feedings.
