Hi guys Hope everyone here is doing well
Iv been apart of this forum for a month or so now and the advice and support u guys have given have really helped me out big time as im a total new be.

i have attached 2 photos of my Auto AK at 26 days old and iv noticed a few things which i am not sure about and wanted to show u guys here.

As this is my first plant i still am still a complete novice and learning all the time however iv noticed recently in the last 5 days or so that the leave have are slightly drooping down, the the smallest leaves growing seem a little weak,
i am currently running a 125w CFL for veg and the lights stays about 15 to 20 cm above the plant.

this is a big concern or even a something to worry about if so i would be truly grateful for some advice
Thanks in advance guys

well to me it looks like underwatering but could also be overwatering..have u watered or not watered recently
 
They look fine other than the leaf curl. What type of soil are you using? Two possible reasons for that could be too much N or overwatering. From the looks of the second pic it appears too much N, but just barely. They look very healthy otherwise.
 
Yea like others have said it could be a few things. First pic I thought over Feeding then second looks like high N which can simply be genetics. Had a Bio Diesel do the same before I ever introduced any nutes. Let the soil dry real good before next water and see how it reacts.
 
Guys im using BioMix Light Soil

Iv only just started to feed it in the last 6 days and im giving it more water then i used to as it has grown bigger and assumed it probably needs more water.
im watering it 4 times a week with a total amount of 1 litre
im using Bio Grow Bio Bizz as the food,

And further ideas guys?
 
Yeah, that may be a little too much water then and not N problems. 4 times a week is a lot for that young. Are you letting the soil dry between watering? The wet/dry cycle is very important for cannabis. The roots need some air in between watering, oxygen is a good thing for them.
 
Number One don't assume anything. She will only need more water if she drinks more water. Should only water when she needs water. If the soil is wet, do not water. Best thing to do is right after you fill your pot with your soil, feel how heavy it feels. After a watering wait till she weighs about that much. Maybe a little heavier than when it was bone dry. I check by weight and feel for the first couple inches of soil is dry.
 
On another note dave1, I'm sure you can get those 125 cfl bulbs a lot closer than 15-20cm. I had my 250w cfl as close 3-6cm without any signs of heat damage.
Good luck anyway..
