Re: plant problems

Please help!!! So i have a few white widows about 3 and a half weeks old... they have been extremely healthy, no problems.. but i noticed that 1 in particular was starting to droop about 2 hours before my 18/6 light cycle turns off (so its drooping the last few hours with the light on). I thought at first it might be thirsty, as i do wait an appropriate time to water.. but the next day it was perked up in the morning. I watered in the morning and all was good, def. Not overwater, and now it is about an hour until lights go off and its drooping again, also a few others seem to be possibly drooping (might be paranoid, but you can see this one certainy is.)


Anyone know why it is perked up and healthy in the morning, all day and then startsdrooping at hour 16ish of light and then isperked up again in the morning? Overwaterand underwater is not a problem.

It's the plant signalling you that it is "going to sleep"
Check in on them starting around the 16 hour mark and keep checking in on them every 15-20 minutes until you see them droop.
Another way to do this would be to set up a camera on time-lapse and then review the video later to see when the leaves begin to droop.
After this point your lights are just on for you, not them.
Once you know where to back your lights off to, you can save a little money on electricity.
