Very Urgent Help!

Hi all,

My Feminized El-Alquimista has been acting very weird. Her leaves are so droopy that they cant hold anything up, im in the first week of flowering btw. Her leaf stems are all bent and droopy and the leaves are very green but just so droopy. At first I thought it may have been over watering ut I left her without water for five days and she got alot worse. Also, nute burn, but I doubt it would cause extreme droopiness, but I have now flushed the system. Also, rootbound, but this is highly unlikely as she is in a large 2 gal. container. The two other plants that have been fed and watered the same are doing very well, im running out of ideas..please help!!

The photo here was taken about 2 weeks ago, she is bigger now and is doing ALOT worse, but she has somewhat crispy leaves, and are very, very droopy.

oh and oddly 2 of the top leaves look as if they would have been bit into, but i have checked everyday around and in the soil, no bugs or nothing.

IMO, i think you got a rootbound problem. the diameter of the canopy is larger than the diameter of your pot. ergo, root bound. you can test my theory by taking the plant out and if u see a huge root mass... then you need a bigger pot. you shouldnt flower it right now, i'd top it and then flower it... still too little
 
hmm okay, ill check it out, but im on a very limited time period, but the photo you see is about 2-3 weeks old, it is much larger now. thanks for your input.

well if its alot larger now and u have it in the same pot, then you definately got a rootbound issue
 
im not sure how to tell you this but you might be wrong, i just went to check her out, it has only been about an hour since i flushed her and her leaves are all perky and looks much, much better.. ill check up on her constantly, but if the flushing works, its fine with me..still not abandoning your rootbound theory.

hahaha maybe it was just a little dry or something. good job figuring it out!
 
temps, 24C, about 3-5 inches from lights..shes getting better but her bottom leaves are still crispy..im not sure how to get them to become perky and normal..

get a recent pic. bottom pics are crispy? are they discolored? you mentioned nute burn.... why? usually necrosis on leaves is deficiency, nute burn is gonna be big splotches, or huge burn areas.

what lights are you using? and whats the pH?

24celcius is fine
