And approx same temp when lights are off .this is as I turn on lights at night as days are vry hot.lights are on 15/9 cycle.dont knw why the first pair of true leaves are drooping.second pair has jus shown up they dropping too..it looks as if it's goin to dry up...please help

My guess is over or under watering. Leaves will droop when over watered and when they get real dry so sometimes its hard to tell. Thats just my guess tho... Pics would help alot lol

Hey Rihan!
So, me myself, I'm a noob at this, by all means. Still, I was told or advised from quite a few growers that when it comes to autos, they're not supposed to be transferred in anyway, due to the plant being is a auto n not a fem,reg, or otherwise. With that being said, on your next auto grow, whatever medium you plan on using to grow your plant, start your seed(not seedling) in the medium n container that you plan on using from start to finish. No transfer of any sort n see how that goes. As far as your situation now, yes, it's very hard to determine what your actually going thru without pics. Don't want to give the wrong advice n have you mad for a misdiagnosis. If possible, can you post a pic or 2 of the plant 2 better understand the situation? I hope e best for you n your young lady n I anticipate her speedy recovery! Don't give up n keep'em green. :)

Thanks for the help,but I guess it's too late now both of them dryed up....Wel they say you hv to put ur auto seed in the pot in which the autos will finish ,but as the plant grows it needs bigger space right?, so if i start my seed in such a big pot (as I won't be transferring it when it grows) ,and water it, wouldn't it suffer from over watering ...and tats wat happend .when they germinated in coco peat they were fine ,got their first set of leaves were developing root system nicely..it all happened after the transfer,the big pot had too much water for little seedling so they drowned and plus as you said auto don't like transfer,both these factors spelled disaster ..

Ahhhhhh... I hear ya n feel ya pain! I have a trick or fix for ya next auto, if ya choose to grow so. I use a 5 gal bucket from Home Depot or wherever. I fill her up with Fox Farms' Happy Frog soil with 20% perlite added. Since the soil is new, fresh, n super soft, I take my pinky finger n put a lil dent up to the top of the finger nail n drop in the seed. I use 2 tooth picks broken in half to make 4 pieces. I fence off or make a square as to were the seed is n when it's time for watering, I only water around its square, getting as close to the tooth picks as possible n watering outwards. If you pre water the soil b4 planting the seed, you should be golden! Once she sprouts, allow her dirt to get some what dry in between watering, that way you know for sure your not over watering n drowning. I hope my lil 2 cents help n I didn't just talk your ear off! Lol. Key to success is to try,try, n try again! I've learned there's no such thing as failing when it comes to growing, only lessons learned for future grows. Keep at it Rihan n I wish you the best of luck on your next grow!

Hey Rihan...
This is exactly what we're all here for or suppose to be here for.. We're all suppose to take our experience or what we experienced n post here in RIU, that way future growers, new n old alike, can share info n what they learned, whether good or bad, to educate the next grower.... Each one teach one as I was always told. Ok, now let's talk about this Grow Box... How big is this box? Like, as far as the dimensions go? Only reason I'm asking is cause depending on the size, I would think the force of a AC, even on low, might be 2 much for a grow box. IMPO, I believe a fan or fans just might do the justice you need. If your doing indoor n worried about smell, there are many n plenty of ways to rig your setup with adequate amounts of air both going in n coming out. Search on YouTube for the DIY techniques. If your like myself, then you have absolutely not 1 penny to spare on anything extravagant! Lol. Plus, it's a awesome sense of accomplishment when done on your own. So, go to YouTube n type what your looking to do in the search n something will definitely catch your eye. Rihan, I'm subbed on this one n can't wait to see what you accomplish! Look for my post or grow journal in the next few days to come. I just planted a New York Diesel fem from Vision seeds 2 day, n I already have a Bubblicious fem from Nirvana Seeds that's 17 days old from seed. I'm still a NOOB by all means, but I will post all my info from last grow til now, that way you can get an idea from someone w/o an attitude or pretend that they know it all. Sorry I wrote a book, by I'm high! LMFAO:bigjoint:
