Weak Stems/Branches, Droopy Plant

Hey Guys and Gals, title says it all. Only thing I found points towards N deficiency but the leaves aren't exhibiting any yellowing.

Probly overwatering watch that shit close and dont water anymore or expect that plant to die a stealthy death from rootrot. Let that bitch dry!

Could be, 5.5in pots but I've grown 4 plants in a coffee can so I'm not really suspecting that atm.

I was thinking Manganese (not magnesium) deficiency since a couple of the bottom leaves are turning light light green too. If you know anything about that -specifically what's a natural source of if.

Wait, have you got them all in one can?Cuz they'll kill each other off just like any other weed competing for space for its roots.

Would like to keep on the original question, but I have grown 4 plants, seed to flower, in a coffee can. They did not kill eachother off, all their lower growth was trimmed off before flower and the main colas got pretty big. Packed plants need to be managed or they will F eachother up, but with regular watering and size management you can get good yields out of very small places.

The new plant is in a 5.5in pot, which is well above the space needed for it atm.

If they are young plants it's probly overwatering/growing multiple plants per pot is never a good idea

Well that's wrong Ok just 1 plants root system would cover the entire coffee can so 4 plants their roots are twisting around eachother it's root rot bud your probly already fucked

try giving them a spray with water, if they perk up then you know that its salts in the ground and you need to flush with ph'd water, i have one plant out of 18 doing this same thing, about 2 gallons of clean water through the pot followed be half strength nutes solved it, if you think root rot might be in play then add a little peroxide to the mix

I Imagine the roots are being starved of oxygen cause of so many plants.

So I'd suggest doing the mist if that doesnt help I'd only think maybe transplanting to another bigger pot cause it maybe rootbound :/

Valvenis,, I know you're trying but you've actually lead this thread away from my actual problem.

It's ONE plant in a 5.5in pot and I'm sure I'm not overwatering, I've done grows in small containers before. Yes they do get rootbound, it's a prospect mother plant so I want it kept small, if I wanted it bigger I'd trim the root ball and toss it in a larger pot. I didn't have this problem with my OTHER grow which was even more compact, so I'm convinced the problem doesn't involve my watering or pot size.

Salt buildup is not a likely culpurit either, they were all flushed before my last feeding.

Well sorry for the misunderstanding but you did word it wrong making it sound like you had 4 plants in one pot.. Now that's not the problem cant say alot if you want help post pics/info on soil nutes etc otherwise dont expect us to read your mind.

I didn't realize "i've" as in "I have", didn't designate past-tense anymore. In the future I did make sure not to do the same mistake previously. Anyways thanks for reading, if you can call it that, but I solved the problem on my own.

Did you ever figure it out? Was it nitrogen toxicity?

I know this is a year old but how did you solve the issue?
