Ripley's OG Wilting/Drooping

[Rwg111]

Just gave a good feeding..25 ml of Botanicare Bloom and 5ml of CalMag per gallon..gave it a full gallon and have water coming out bottom of pot. PH was 6.3. I had tap watee sitting in jugs for two days, added nutes, and then adjusted ph. I am in 3 gallon smart pots with nectar of the gods [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] soil and some perlite.

Throw some photos up in a few days if ya would. I'm curious as to how she gunna react.:smoking:

I too experienced drooping im the past and tried everything to fix.
One thing that no one else really picked up on was the 24 hour light cycle i was using, the light intensity, and the size of the plants.

If you look at your DLI (Daily Light Integral) versus the health and size of the plants, you might find it's just too much for them?

Basically i was hammering them with too much light and not giving any time to rest. Once i reduced the light and switched to 18/6, they perked up on lights on and started to droop before lights off (ready for sleep, i guess).

Even with a 65w hlg light i was hitting a DLI of 38, which was too high for my small vegging auto. Once reduced to around 28 it looked happy.

I have some links for lumens to ppfd and then ppfd to dli conversions, you just use your phone with a lumens app and then do the conversions to get a ballpark DLI.

I wanted to follow up here. Since posting my original thread, I've been watering with pH in the low 6''s with 20ml Botanicare Bloom, 4ml Calmag, and 1ml Bloombastic. I swapped the middle of 3 autocos for a viparspectra 450 for additional heat and switched from 18/6 to 24/0. First pic is from 3/16 and second is from today 3/23. The leaves are still yellow but she looks much better and bud development mentioned is night and day difference. Thoughts ?
