New Grower Help Please-Drooping a Bit

[stoneyhomer]

duno man i think you been a little over loving with the with the water but the new groth looks a litle pale so i would say let her dry out well then try half srt nutes as its organic (the best way to go as meds ) also hard to burn and east to sort with a good flush

Couldn't view pics for some reason....but When neither direction seems to be dominant....do nothing. Let her dry out a bit.... Patience is the best thing to grow with ya babes...

Thank you. I checked on her just now and I'm surprised how much she's perked up since this morning. I think I got the watering figured out now. The paleness on the new growth has my concern now. Half strength on my next watering take care of that?

It looks like overfeed to me. An overfed plant will look similar to one that has been over-watered. This can happen If you are using nutes at more than 1/4 of the recommended strength or if you let your mix get too dry before adding a straight nute mix.

I would flush with 2 gals of water to each gallon of mix (i.e. if I'm growing in a 3 gal container, I flush with 6 gals of water). Check my pH and make any necessary adjustments.

What kind of lighting are you using and how many watts? Also do you have a pH meter and what is the water going in and the runoff? In the case of over fed drooping leaves you would see some leaf tip burn and leaf damage. The leaves are drooping but green and healthy with the bud leaves being a pale green. This would lead me to believe it's over watering especially if it has perked up since it has been drying out. Also looks as tho your ph may be off. More info is needed tho bro before a definite answer can be given. Green healthy growing karma your way bro I definitely would not up the dose to 1/2 strength until your positive of the PH and the diagnosis. Doubling the feeding on a plant that's drooping may cause more problems.

I guess she is about do for a good flushing anyways. I'll do that next watering and add nutes back at quarter strength. My soil is ocean forest and light warrior at half and half w/added lime. I have an oakton ph meter and the soil was @ 6.5 after a slurry test. For my slurry I used half soil/half 7.0 water, let it sit for 30 min and then test it. I ph my water going in @ 6.9, as it will drift down. I have her under a 400wHPS. But I have a total of 800wHPS in the grow room of 2x6ft. About 12in away from top. She is off-center a lil bit. I'm guessing that keeps her a little cooler. Temp stays around 77F and humidity of 35. She has no burns or damage. Just pale newer growth. Thanks.

Look over watered to me as well. Learn to water by judging the weight of your pots. Get a feel for them when they are almost completely dry and only water again when they feel that way. Given the size of the plant relative to the size of the pot, I would think that would be every 3-4 days, maybe 5. Depends somewhat on your soil mix also.
