2nd grow need help.

What I like to use is a $14 Harbor Freight garden sprayer, works awesome and allows you to spread your water evenly. I haven't had an issue with any of my plants having dry spots in any parts of the soil, spray, and let it sink, repeat until runoff. I found it much more effective than trying to pour water in, or using a plastic bottle with holes in the cap. Also, once my plants hit outside, sprayer will double for IPM spraying, since I'll have some big plants this year.
I actually have one I’m going to try more water tonight, praying lol
 
Your not over watering your underwatering them. At that with the light you have , there need is about a gallon a week. Watering 2.5 every four days is giving the lower branches what they need and stressing the top branches out because of the mars hydros leds. That is why there drooping. It took me three grows to learn that and had the same issue. Turn your dial to 40 percent at veg. 75 at preflower Go ast 75 toward your first flush. What nutrients are you giving them and what strain is it your growing. I have the mars hydro 2000 and when I used that light , it dried my pots in two days. I mainly leave it at 30 % and use it for seedlings now. Good luck mate.
Still down and out, they both got a good slow watering last night, light was turned down. So confused

They look good and healthy. There just taking in a lot of water all at once instead of increments like they normally do. In a day or two they’ll pop back up. After they drink what they need, they will reach up when they release the water back into the soil if that makes sense. There just taking in water where they were without the amount they required. You could lower your light height about six inches closer and it would speed up the process with its intensity. If not they’ll work them selves back up in a few days if it stays where there at. Let the pots almost dry out and drown it wet again and they’ll grow into monsters.

I think they are looking better, not as droopy and they blew up. Thank you for the help!

seems that the humidity is down. in veg keep it above 60% also check VPD chart on google, also diming the lights or providing more dark hours might give the plant chance to recover from the intense light.

No problem bro. It Took me three grows with that light to learn it. Just remember that the Plant will tell you when it needs some thing or is getting too much of something. When it’s getting too much water the whole entire plant will droop, but if it’s not getting enough the top will droop because of the lights intensity. They look real good now. I would low stress all of them outer branches and Give it about three or four weeks and they’ll start shooting pistols and reaching up with cola sites all over. if they haven’t already. I would grow them out till week four of flower then do a lollipop on the bottom and you’ll have pop cans for buds. Good luck, I cut that super skunk and it made monsters

I know I’m a little late to the party but imo it looks like the light intensity is a little much along with lower humidity and high nitrogen from the ocean forest. When the light is strong and humidity is low the demand for water is high, along with anything else that’s in that water. Soo to me it looks like nitrogen toxicity due to other factors if that makes sense. Glad it’s doing well!! Great job!

He was under watering what are mars Hydro. Once he gave it a good drowning it take itself up and started growing back just fine. But I’m glad you mentioned the nitrogen because I didn’t cross my mind till I read your post, where it was underwater and deprived all that extra nitrogen is going to be at the top of the plant where it tried to take all it could. I don’t know if you’re running autos or photos if it’s an auto flower it’s a little more forgiving and you can flush it week three straighten itself back out. Keep us posted on the Plant. I think they’ll grow out just fine just wait till about the last four weeks before you click that intensity to 70 or you’ll make fox tails with that hydro. it’s bad for it

I will deff keep you updated lights are off now, they come on an2 hrs I’ll post pic. they are photos I actually switched them to flower two days ago because I am running out of room… the one looks great the other one is a ton better just a little droop left at the top but not like it was . But they deff came a long ways
 
So light just came on temps usaully go to 78-80, having trouble keeping humidity up I just spray the sides of the tent with water. The one still has a small droop issue. They’ve been drinking a lot more. I watered them both with about a gallon and a half of water two days ago with maybe 5% run off.
They are definitely getting bigger. Day two of flower

That’s the look you’re looking for! Great job! Those are some beautiful plants! Goes to show how great of a soil ocean forest is if used correctly!

As long as your humidity stays at the 35-50 mark your fine. Mine is usually 38 -43 You can use just two house fans and leave your tent open at day and they be fine without an intake. Try giving them 2.5 ml of cal mag plus and mixed in a five gallon sbucket. If you give that every other watering they’ll thank you. With ocean forest it’s naturally hot so watering is a 5050 with hot soil or not. Try using roots organic 707 with your next cycle , it is very forgiving with little hiccups. They look wonderful and will grow three times that amount. I’d put up a net about an inch above your canopy and fill them squares up homie.

This is my first time using lotus I have the lotus bloom as well, and I’ve never tried the netting but I’m going to give it a try I’ll grab that and the cal mag plus and thanks dude

No problem. If u got stakes to hold them up that’s fine as well. I prefer the net cause I don’t like putting holes in the dirt . There’s always that chance it would hurt the root and stress in the plant. I like Lotus Ive used it before. If you wanna pay $40 for some really good fertilizer try using this with with and their bloom they are both the tits. The Gia green is rather expensive‘s and usually in Canada but they just started selling it in America. Home Depot has an all purpose fertilizer at 555 it’s called black magic and I have to say my friend told me to try it and I thanked him for it it has everything a plant needs for the whole cycle and the only thing you have to do is adjuster PA to 6.3 to 6.9 and water it only makes it in before you pop your Beme and it does everything for you.
