Drooping is usually a sign of overwatering or PH imbalance.

scwascwa · Aug 26, 2009

i kno it aint over watering and the ph should be perfect cause i just bought a ph tester too idk wat to do cause im watering every 2 to 3 days and making sure soil is dry throughout the dirt

scwascwa · Aug 26, 2009

i honestly think i gave em to much nutes because i listened to the directions on the bottle think im gonna not use wat bottle says

CrackerJax · Aug 26, 2009

Nute burn takes a bit to show up, but when it does.....you'll know. :sad:

scwascwa · Aug 26, 2009

its ok i have a feeling its was just because of the nutes i added way less to the bottle this time should turn out good after it purks back up ill try feedin it again

Yah, go easy on them. Most of the problems with weed growing is the "pushing" of the plant to their limits. They have a rhythm, and once it's found....you're off! :lol:

it does look like overwatering.
tilt the pot on its side to let excess water to drain and just wait.

if its over fertilizing it will take a few hours to show signs and it will show first in new growth and only then in the older growth.

I use Fox Farms products and I not only follow the instructions on the containers but I also use both the Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom at the same time.
　
As it says on the Big Bloom at first sign of flowering follow the heavy feeding instructions, ½ cup per gallon, which I did and I also added the 3 teaspoon feeding instructions on the Tiger Bloom. In addition I added one drop of Super Thrive.
　
After that I follow the every watering solution directions, again using both Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom and also one drop of SuperThrive. I have never experienced any burning and I have never had even the slightest drooping occur.
　
You plant looks like it is suffering from over watering even though you say you know it has not been over watered.
　
I doubt it is a nute lockout problem because there would have been other signs that would clearly have pointed to that possibility.
　
When did you take the picture? Was it right after your lights came on for the day? Plants will droop/rest at night and in the morning can appear to be droopy but within a fairly short time will again stand up as they absorb light energy.
　
What is the temperature in your grow area? While I could see no sign of heat stress in your picture it could be possible that your plant is in the very early stages of heat stress and the leaves have not yet shown it as in necrotic spotting/drying/browning but that could cause the droop.
　
What sort of soil are you using? Is it light and breathes easily or is it tight packed and hard and unable to breath well? If so your plant may have reached a point where its needs cannot be met by the soil.
　
I could not see the size of the pot you are using but if you are using a pot that is too small in size wilting/drooping is very common when a root-bound condition occurs. As roots build up what little soil is in the pot is compacted and the soil cannot retain enough moisture. When you water you get more runoff than retained moisture and very soon your plant is starved for moisture.
　
If possible fill everyone in on as many different details as you possibly can, even if you feel they may not possibly be part of the problem and then with some lucky someone can hit the nail on the head and tell you what the problem is and what to do about it.

i really think everybody has it backwards. if you are waiting 2-3 days between waterings, i dont think overwatering is the problem (unless you flood it every watering). that being said, do you notice the drooping directly after watering or towards when it needs another watering? if the latter, the plant is underwatered.

sometimes it is overwatering via poor draining soil. Is there plenty of perlite in the soil?

jonbigbudz · Aug 26, 2009

i think its other not enough light or not enough water!!!

That was somewhat touched on when I asked about the size of the pot(s) he is growing in. To small of a pot will be unable to retain enough moisture so plants will dry out and wilt. Something I intended to mention but got sidetracked and forgot to include is something I feel sure he and most every grower knows as well as they know the back of their hand and that is as plants grow they require more and more water so if you water on a set schedule and always give a certain/set amount of water at some point you will have to alter that schedule or else the plants will not receive enough water.
　
One other thing to consider is where a grower lives and what the outside temperatures are. Some may never consider outside temperatures to be a factor in inside growing but if it is hot as Hades outside you’re A/C will run more often and that removes more and more humidity from your inside air and that means plants will lose more moisture through transpiration and evaporation and that means they need an increase in the amount of water they receive and how often they receive it.
　
So yes it could be under watering but if so I have to believe it is in the very early stages since the picture did not show any signs of leaf damage/color change/drying out that would come with an extended period of time of under watering and instead only showed drooping which increases the probability that the problem might be something other than lack of water. It does not eliminate the possibility but it does lower the probability.

well i kno its not over watering... could be not watering enough but my lights come on at 6am i took that picture at about noon or 1 pm that day

here is a picture of the pot .. should i go bigger??

also if i should go bigger i need to mention this... people have told me not to transplant once i am flowering due to stress now.... if i decide to cut the pot so all the soil comes out easy is that a better thing to do??

also there is another picture of it not as droopy i just took that and earlier i just gave it regular rain water already looks better

that bein said its gotta be something with my nutes

also one more thing theres 2 pictures of my other plant which i just cut today looks pretty good lemme know wat yall think

scwascwa · Aug 26, 2009

one more thing the weather was in the low 70's for 3 days then 2 days ago and still today its back in the 90's could that be the problem

mazpot · Aug 26, 2009

Rain water sucks right now lol I took a gallon of rain water for my indoor plant and it made it light green

scwascwa · Aug 26, 2009

my rain water is perfect

ph is always right every time i check it

scwascwa · Aug 26, 2009

could high humidity cause the plants to droop like that because now that i think about it im pretty sure thats wats up

CrackerJax · Aug 26, 2009

Well, I grow outdoors and for the last 2 months the RH has been 24/7 at least 70%. No drooping..... so I'd say nope.

scwascwa · Aug 26, 2009

well i kno humidity was usually around 50% in my grow box when i checked the last couple days it was in the 90's

please help its urgent
