major plant problems!!

Iv also upped the lighting in my set up i need to go get baked at the moment so maybe later tonight or tomorrow ill take some pics and post them to give a better sense of what im working with.

Yeah, I would also only water once, as needed...water only enough to have a trickle out of bottom, or what I like to do sometimes is to water from the bottom up, by just placing the amount you would usually water in a container of near the circumference of your pot (so as to not have it spread out) and let the pot wick the water up...if there is a few ounces left after letting it sit for several hours, I pour it on top. My plants seem to really like this, and it seems to encourage rooting to the bottom, which I want to see before I through them in to flower...if you are using a large pot, I am not sure if this is the best though as I think it may not utilize the soil in the upper root zone it the opportunity is there to go down and out...then the roots tend to "spin out" around bottom of pot and do not naturally like to grow up...with that said, with a big (5-7 gallon) pot...who cares! For me this is a waste of soil and sqft as I am limited in space. I go from a small cube of rockwool (for cuttings only) to a beer cup...to a 5" 2.6 liter square pot...to a 6 liter pot 2 weeks or so before flower. If something goes wrong, I do not end up wasting good soil.

Also if you are using big pots...careful to not over water!

Do what works for you, and learning from your experience is the best. Your strain, environment and methods are all unique, so what works for one may not work for others...some very respected growers swear pH is critical and check it neurotically...others NEVER adjust pH...and municipal water changes seasonally and with environmental pressures...as well as often times multiple sources.

Thanks hayduke, the info/advice was/is much appreciated. This grow is my first solo grow so it is purely an experimental process hell ill be happy if i end up with a less than a g. Anyways heres my set up so far iv just sort of be upgrading as i go




its really nothing too special but i like it, it works for me iv got a total of 250 watts so im happy and like i said i upgrade as i go.

So iv decided im gonna have to kill my g13 buddha its just getting worse and worse and its just taking up unnecessary space but im going to start 2 more lowryder #2 and 2 greenhouse AMS fem since i will have the space. My lowryder #2 is ok i only fed it nutrients once week three but decided to stop because i was hoping it would start flowering week 4 but not yet, the leaves get a little droopy sometimes is that a sign of underwatering?

Personally, unless you know that the strain is nothing special...I would wait it out.

Droopy leaves can be a sign of underwatering, but it is more of a wilted look rather than droopy...droopy leaves is usually from overwatering, which is a common thing for new growers...they just want to love too much...like when you were watering more than once per day...the top of the soil should be dry, the pot should be light, before watering. The roots need air and they cannot get it if saturated ALL the time.

My g13 buddha is nothing special i got the seeds for pretty cheap iv been told by many ppl that g13 smells and taste like rotting meat which isnt exactly what im looking for lol. I would wait it out but its just taking up space and its looking even worse than in the last pic i put up of it. I could have been overwatering them in the smalls pots i have them in i only transplanted them into something much bigger three days ago, iv only been giving my lowryder #2 50ml of water a day
