i would put it in a bigger pot asap and the drooping is most likely over watering allow the soil to dry before watering, if its outside and raining alot it might have something to do with it, you will yield more in a bigger pot, plus rep for showing me a lowryder2 again

If they're using FLIR on you, then you're probably already on their radar.

Without someone's life being at risk, FLIR runs are pointlessly expensive and afaik from what Iv heard, random ones arnt done.

So if the eye in the sky has you, it's cos they're following up a tip off or some other reason to suspect you.

Just relax bro, how many plants you growing and what sorta wattage you running again?

well said trust no 1 you wud nit leave ur kids wit,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol

How are ya lads, this is my lowryder 2 (my first grow) I've had a problem with it for the last week in that the leaves have been really droopy, in the first photo which i took 20 minutes ago you will notice how droopy they are ... Any one have any idea what is causing this? i reckoned in might be badly roootbound (its 19 inches tall in a 7 litre pot) so ive transplanted it into the garden free from any pot. The last three photos i took about 3 weeks ago and i just included them to give ye an idea of how the leaves used to be and the size of the pot .

Any help is appreciated im a complete noob! haha

Whats the story Keg, deffo looks like overwatering to me. Did you say you planted in the ground now, I hope you dont get the rain thats forecast. What lights were you using. if she is in the ground you might wanna have a look at the little pvc tent things in hombase or woodies just to protect it from the rain, Id deffo let her dry out as much as possible, you should see those leaves p ick up in a couple of days.

haha square peg round hole comes to mind...this should be fun....you should get away with it because the autopots are square arent they, that little space in the corners should save you, I have to say though i wouldnt fancy doing it myself, I even hate transfering seedlings..lol...One tip i would say is cut out some card with the diamater of your airpot and put it over the top of your soil to kinda hold it togeather when you flip it over. The good thing about the airpots though is that you can just untie them.


MAn just had a wakenbake of a little bit of nyc diesel my mate grew, is still a tiny bit damp, i wouldnt even say damp, more dank...lol...lovely smell from it have a small bit left for a nice J, just turned on the nesspresso machine, The boys are watching spiderman....happy out.....oh and am on 2 weeks hols from work..hhe....off to ibiza on tuesday for a week....bring it on...any know if its handy to get smoke over there

Good advice, Rep +
Your over watering is causing some lock out, plus they are looking hungry also...

I had a problem similar to this a while ago... I found that with a screw driver i was able to gently break the soil up in the root ball leaving mostly just the roots to fit in to my new pot....

Im looking at auto pots myself... what do you think of them, is it really as easy as they say...?
Need to do my home work on this one...then next step is DWC..

Had a wake n' bake myself.. nice coffe and walk the dog down the beach soon...

The autopots seem to work much better with coco compared to soil, mostly because they dry out a lot quicker and you wont be dealing with root rot problems because the roots spend a decent amount of time submerged in stagnant water. The only real problems I have seen is that the valves controlling the water can clog and you will end up with your entire rez spilled on the floor and you have to handwater until your roots reach the bottom of the pot as thats where the water wicks from. But I don't have much time to mix nutes and handwater everyday now so they seem to be the perfect option.

Also if you are considering going DWC I would recommend you have a plant to chill the water if you are going to be doing it in summer heat, I had an insulated DWC going in the little heatwave we had and couldn't get water temps below 24c.

I see what you mean, Ive heard people putting those clay pebbles at the bottom to help things..??

This might be my only option because i never really thought about high rez temps and now that i think about it, it does get rather warm up there when the sun is out...!!

More to think about..!! Cheers for heads up..

Chopped mi no1 girl down. got one of those micriscope thingys on ebay for a couple of yoyos showed alot of amber trichs on the cola, the rest where only clear and milky. had to make space for my 6 clones as they where not in a desireble location so i brop rushed it a little.

 

[VinylJr]

Its the soil

 

[kegboyman]

Thanks a million for all the help, it was the torrential rain that we've had last week that must have caused it....i had it outdoors since it was about 2 weeks old but it got much too big for its pot so i thought it best to just put it in the ground. I will shield it from any rain in the coming days.

Thanks for all the help lads +rep to you all!

sweet jesus my tallest girl is now touchin the top of the cabinet. the cab is 1.92metres!. the "claw" leaves seem to be sortin themselves out. i just gave them their second feed of reduced nutes. i dropped the a and b from 4.5 to 3.5 ml per litre and the calmag from 2 to 1 ml per litre. after a bit of research it seems i should have been using 1ml per litre all along. the sugar leaves are startin to frost now, they look fuckin GORGEOUS. ill have to tie down the tops of the plants.............im not trimmin that lovely bud off!!.

Oh yeah boxing is fucking fixed! i think i am done with it and ill only bother to watch the ufc from now on

 

[dave gilmour]

i have very little interest in boxing mostly because of the kind of thing i hear happened last night. i do like the boxing at the olympics but ken egans fight for gold/silver was another example of the corrupt decisions that seem such a normal part of boxing.
