Drooping Leaves

tughillnut1 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-07-2006, 05:06 AM

We are about one week into our growth cycle and we have 3 plants in a bubbleponics system. We added nutes about 3-4 days after we had planted the seedlings. We waited til the first leaves had appeared. Now two of our plants are still growing very well and one has begun to droop and the leaves are beginning to turn yellow.

We are using two 300 watt compact fluorescent bulbs about 6 inches above the plants. No pics yet but hopefully very soon.

Also, the two plants that are growing good have roots that have sprouted out of the bottom of the rockwool and out of the pot. If anybody has any idea what we should do about the one plant that doesn't seem to want to grow like its buddies please let me know ASAP.

Try feeding it through the top for a couple days till the root system enters the water/nute solution.

By the way you said you add ferts, whats the PPM and PH of you solution and how many airstones you using?

I dont knw the PPM. I have a kit that came with nutes and I was under the impression that I add the nutes right when I see a leaf. So thats what I did. I only have 3 plants, so I only used half the nutes. The system is set up for 6 plants. I am using a large round (about 4" in diameter) air stone thingy. The PH is right around 5.8.

I bought the Stealth Hydro bubbleponic system.

GROWBOT, yes tried searching, thats why i am now posting. Just because that was my first post, doesnt mean I dont know how to use a forum. thanks for your help though. I appreciate everyone's input

I dont think you should feed any seedling nutes for 3 weeks no matter what style of growing

agree with ganja ... let it naturally do its think until its root system has began. another thing, when the package you got said, when you see a leaf, i think it meant when you see a full grown leaf before adding nutes.
