Hi thanks for getting intouch
Like I say I’m new to this all I know is I bought the seeds from fast buds,conditions are 48rh and between 25-28 degrees,it’s a auto flower and it’s now 38 days old,I’m was thinking I maybe over watered it or nutrient deficiency,like I say,I’m a total novice and any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Again, more info needed. Pictures, medium, how much and how often are you watering, water pH, nutrients?

Also I should add,there are 2 branched that split abit,would that cause yellowing of leafs,even leafs not on the split stem?

thanks,I will keep an eye on it,I haven’t added any nutrient to it yet either,should I let the soil dry right out before watering again?
Yes. Do not water until it's dry. That's why they are drooping and yellow. Also they may need food since they are starting to flower and whatever food in the soil is probably depleted.

We cant tell you for sure what is wrong with your plant but we can give advice that is hopefully useful. When leaves are droopy like that its often too much heat, too much water, or too dry. As 2835 said above, she most certainly needs some food if she hasnt gotten any yet. The fact the flowers look ok leads me to believe plant is pulling resources to protect flower development. Check temps at top of plant for proper light placement. Stick your finger down in there a bit to see how wet your soil is. Dont let it sit in water constantly and make sure you have good drainage.

It does seem to have damp soil down in it,I have it growing beside my gorilla cookies and as they were plant on same days and been pretty even through out the month as they came along I stupidly have been giving my lemon a litre of water over the last few days as that’s what I was giving the gorilla as that was fine,or a little been alright for the size of plant for 5weeks?

Moisture meter is growers best friend. Sounds like overwatering but if flowering at a certain stage the leaves will naturally turn towards yellow

I'd cut the wilted leaves off. Not sure when you watered, but leave out any moisture for the next couple of days (like has been mentioned) and watch what the plant tells you. It'll be fairly apparent. I ran into this issue with my tomato seedlings recently as well. Used a medium I was unfamiliar with (seed starter) instead of a well draining mix of Promix. And I've been doing tomato's for over 20 years so don't worry....you'll get the jist of it. Plants don't want as much water as many think they do. Just giving an example of what can happen even if you have experience.
