because the mix was way too wet. The bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the bucket I could take a hand full of mix and when squeezed water would run out of my hand. The medium was way too wet; nothing but cat tails could grow in that.
Why? The mix contained too much peat, and not enough non-wicking particles such as perlite or bark. I'm not a pro, I'm just guessing but from what I've been reading this is a common problem with SWC's; too wet.
This is esp. true because mine are in inside grow room. When outside, I'm sure the sun/heat would help to reduce some of the moisture.
