Ripley's OG Wilting/Drooping

[rydin4life]

I posted this in the Mephisto subgroup and got some great input but wanted to post here as well just to make sure I didn't waste any time if there's an issue with the plant. I had temperatures overnight down into the low 60s and during theday only just breaking 70. This really stalled some growth for me. I used some small ceramic heaters to bring the temperatures uplast week but am now running tents with lights on 24 / 0 to keep the temperatures steady. One of my Ripley's OG plants still seems to be drooping though. Temperatures are now steady in the mid-to-high 70s and the plants are being fed Botanicare nutrients and are in 3 gallon smart pots with nectar of the Gods soil. I have a Viparspectra 450 in the center and an autocob on eaxh side in a 2x4 with a 4" fan..now all om 24/7. Does this look OK or is it done for? It's looked pretty muxh the same for the past week now.

I would check ph but temps that low isn't good either. But it looks like ph has swung locking out nutes.

I agree with @STILLSMOKIN something has happened locking out her food she looks real hungry. Have you tried flushing it with phd water or a flushing aid?

 

[STILLSMOKIN]

@ClydeWalters found bugs in his dirt caused drooping.

Haven't seen bugs..water pH is 6.5 give or take a oint or two...I'll water tomorrow with plain water and no nutes and check runoff

Hard to tell from pics but I see no spotting or discoloration other than the light green and drooping. Almost looks like she may just be in need of a heavy feeding. I dont know anything about the nutes your using, if ph checks out try a heavy feeding it cant hurt just goes easy on the nitro

Water with ph 7, I'd bet ph comes out acidic, i see mg and zn just starting to show

Those 2 lock out first when dipping down.

The pictures are not well enough defined but it looks more like N toxicity to me. By running the lights 24/0 plants do not have time to push exudates out of the roots and just keep up-taking water and nutrients. I have never agreed with running lights 24/0. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for all of the input @Mañ'O'Green @Rwg111 @STILLSMOKIN

I just watered with two gallons of plain tap water that I pH'd to 6.9. Run off from the first gallon was an even 7.0 end run off from the second gallon was 6.7. Leaves are still droopy and basically no change from yesterday. Dirt was bone dry before watering and no bugs or gnats of any kind noticeable.


Thoughts on what to do next when I water in another few days?
