Overwatering issues with s/h?

[AnonYMouse]

Firstly, your plant looks like some of mine did initially in S/H. I expected that, it has been stated countless times that roots need to grow into their environment (or something like that. However stated, I got it). In my experience, the root loss is not any new ones. It takes a lot of faith and hand wringing while new roots grows.

2ndly, no one will say 1" of water for you. We don't know without having the plant and pot in our own hands; putting the LECA in, jiggling the LECA between the roots, watering to see where water wicks up to, etc.

Since none of us, so far, are familiar with this pot system, can you contact the manufacturer or vendor?

Or are you actually trying what some have coined as "water culture"?

One other point, if you are not using a heat mat, you should consider it.
