smoking and usage

YourGod11 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-11-2006, 09:00 PM

My leaves are drooping but it doesn't seem like it's overwatering because the top inch is bone dry. I have been using Miracle-Gro soil which I heard causing drooping so I figured that's what it might be. On that note, is there anything I can do to stop it?

i don't think the lights are too far away, move them closer, those r turning into beanstalks. Flouros don't put out a lot of heat so you can put them really close

those pots are going to get small by the time yiou are done also you should repot into somthing bigger or atleast get a little more soil in thereunder the plant (hard to do, just repot) are those 10" pots?

Yeah I believe they are 10 inches. Light seems to be ok, any other suggestions besides repotting?

Themoodboy · #6 (**permalink**) 03-11-2006, 09:23 PM

if you can touch the light for a while without burning your finger you can move those lights about and inch above the plants, keep an eye on their growth though if they are touching the light they will burn i am also growing in 10 inch pots right now but mine are full up with soil if your plants need to stay reletivly small than those should be fine

what day are they at?

Themoodboy · #7 (**permalink**) 03-11-2006, 09:26 PM

i can't think of any repotting alternatives right now

YourGod11 · #8 (**permalink**) 03-11-2006, 09:29 PM

Crap so no idea why they're drooping? Is it ok that they droop?

Themoodboy · #9 (**permalink**) 03-11-2006, 10:58 PM

i think it is ok any ways, my oldest plant droops and so far i am not too worried about it.

YourGod11 · #10 (**permalink**) 03-11-2006, 11:19 PM

That's good to hear. So it won't affect the yield or the potency of the buds, right?

Themoodboy · #11 (**permalink**) 03-11-2006, 11:23 PM

naww i doubt it just keep them lights close and that thing will fill out nicely

Will do, thanks for the help Themoodboy

Sounds like underwatering... Some people use this as a way to know when to water. Water her and she shall recover.

edit: yes, repot also...

Your going to have to repot. Or your roots will tangel and your plants will die. You should have them all in thier own 12" pot or 5gal bucket. There is no alturnative. Try repoting with out the pre-fert soil. Merical-grow is crapy. Also I would add a few lighs and move them closer. Check the soil everyday and if it's dry water, if it's damp leave it.

Yeah the soil was dry, I didn't want to water in case it was another reason. I will water them more, guess they're not used to being under this much light.

Also, do you think it's a good idea to move the plants right to a different soil? Probably has different pH, maybe at least a mix of the miracle gro soil and the potting soil? Don't want to shock the plant. What do you think? Oh, and I will buy the new pots tomorrow
