Second Grow- 400w HPS- First time 12-12 from seed

It's the only one with these droopy leaves. I thought it was because it needed watering at first. No, that's not it. I raised the lights a little bit. Didn't do anything. Does it look like a sativa? Is that why it's behaving differently than my 5 other plants? It has huge fan leaves and they look skinnier than the other ones. It looks healthy and green besides the big droopy leaves, but they're not drooping as much anymore since I raised the light so it's doin a bit better. Check it out and please give some advice. +rep

Put nematodes in the soil yesterday and some sticky traps in there for some gnats I've been having a problem with. So far everything looks 100% better and the plants 'feel' much healthier. I have some pics if anyone wants to see.

If anyone wants to put anything on my thread or make comments I'd feel honored.

Droopy plant is overwatered. Let it dry out and it will perk up again.

Nope It's the strain. I know how to water plants so they don't get over or under watered. I was wondering the same thing about it too though. I know it's not overwatered because I've let it dry out for 3 days (they're in 5 gallon pots) and it still stays droopy. Don't know why.

Also the second picture, the closest one to the camera. The little baby freakin topped itself! It grew two 3 bladed leaves, then stopped growing! But then it miraculously sprouted two main thick stalks!

Next person to post on my thread gets a sample nugget from one of my plants!

i wish the finest trees on u pimp. hope all goes well.

The droopynes might be becouse the plant is rootbound, this happened to me. I say pot up if you can. Just my two cents...

Root bound? They're all in 5 gallon pots! I don't think so. BTW there's like a thousand fucking fungus gnats crawling on top of the soil, they can't eat anything anymore because of the nema todes I think so they don't know what to do. I HATE FUNGUS GNATS!

The roots doesnt know your in 5gal pots, and since u started out in them the roots might have gone straight down.. therefor built up rootbound.
About the gnats, try some cinemon powder. This will make em go crazy, they hate it!! But it wont make em go away so you need some sticky flypapers or something too to reduce em. I hate those fuckers too!

Awesome thanks for the tip! My wife is picking up some more fly strips and sand. I'll ask her to get some cinnamon powder too. Do you think it's okay to not transplant it for about 9 or 10 days?

That's crazy I didn't think a plant could get root bound in a 5 gallon pot when it's only like 30 days from seed.

This is the reason you dont start in a 5 gallon pot...you want to get a nice root ball and then move to a bigger pot...then get a nice root ball and move to final pot. This is the way ive seen any plant...not just mj...grown.

Hard for me to say, this happened to me once (actually my first grow) and i was told here on R.I.U to repot and i did it right away. It might stunt growth a bit tho. After that it took like a day or two for them to recover.

But...but...but... I did okay on my first grow starting in 5 gallon pots and keepin em there. I started two of my big black indica females this time around in a casino change cup, then put it in a 5 gallon. The other ones went straight from the humidity dome into the 5 gallons.

Well I can't transplant for about a week because I'm moving. Think she'll be ok? I sure hope so.

Dude, I use 3gal pots from start to finish, never went root bound.

And you walk several thousand steps per day too, does that mean you never tripp or fall over? Look, the problem regards ONE of hes babies.. I've seen plants grow big and healthy in even smaller pots than that from beginning to the end, its just bad luck that one of em messes around. It might not even be rootbound, could be something else although if i had to take a guess i'd say thats just the case since its not over/underwatered.

Awesome spacious grow room mate
