small leaves on top colas drooping??????

[gb420guy]

as it says......

i came back from my cousins house and on his crop, the small leaves on the tops of the plants are drooping down quite a bit....like umbrella style......and are getting thinner and thinner........but the fan leaves are pretty fat and hearty.............

what could be his problem??????????????


he isnt taking it seriously....but they look good as hell.......

they are in soil with various types of floro's all around them

I'm having the same problem.... I thought this link would answer my question..
but here's some info I found on drooping leaves.. in early stages of flowering

Leaf Curling Down - When the leaves curl under and burn at the tips and margins it’s usually a sign that the nutrient level is too high.
Solution - Check and adjust the pH level as necessary. Flush and decrease the nutrient level.


6) Droopy Leaves - Leaves that are drooping are most likely caused by over watering/under watering or lack of light.
Solution - First off, for soil, Place you finger into your soil a few inches and see if it's dry or wet. If over watering is your problem, increase the temperature and airflow to evaporate some of the excess water also you can add some h2o2 when watering to help the roots still receive O2. **Warning!- Chronic over watering can lead to soggy roots and stagnant, icky soil. if you slide the plant out of the pot to check the soil and it stinks or is soggy then transplant into fresh dry soil. For a hydroponic system, check to see if your medium is dry or wet before you water (or your pump comes on). If your medium is still pretty wet, then you are over watering and need to water less often. If your medium is very dry before watering, under watering is your problem, just water more frequently. And lastly, If lack of light is the problem, Add more light.

Sorry bout' the bold... it's how it pasted

It simply sounds like over watering...He must be giving them too much water and not letting the soil dry out before watering again .... fluros dont put out much heat so you won't have to water much.

It simply sounds like over watering

the general overall appearance of the plant would look overwatered and the leaves tend to swell not shrink

small leaves on top colas drooping ...and are getting thinner and thinner

your drooping is localized to the cola's leaves, I suggest that the colas proximity to the lites are closer and are getting heat stressed, this would also account for the shrinking leaves.

move the lites a little farther from the plants

theyre fluros remember mate, if youve ever grown with them you'll know you can put them less than an inch close to the top head and it wont burn it...

good point they are flouros

check the Humidity?

Thin, shriveled leaves can be from low humidity. 40-80 % is good

how far are they into flowering....GOOD BUD> or shall we say...Kind Nugz....mostly lose their bottom most fan leaves in FLowering...to use up excessive nitrogen.to create a better unharshful TAste....it is ...O.k....unless they are only just flowering now!~ its.SOOooo HARD....!

Can we see pics taken from over top the plants shooting down and some from the side of the plants, at the same level, showing the whole plant?
