Soft Droopy Leaves?????

A few of my plants are experiencing a problem, they are different strains but have the same problem. The bottom fan leaves are really droopy and are very soft. As you can see in the pictures. But I'm not sure what is causing this. I water every 3-4 days depending on how the soil feels and I'm not over watering them I have 13 plants and when I'm done watering them all, I haave only gone through about a gallon and a quarter of water. The PH is like 6-6.5 ish don't have a really good PH test kit but this works. Could it be a lack of light? I am NOT SURE? Thanks guys any help would be really appreciated.

My guess is it's too hot, or they're under watered. whats the temp? how dry do you let the soil get? also what do you feed them?

Re: Soft Droopy Leaves?????

Heat could be a factor it is like 80-85 degrees in there but a fan is blowing on them and it is only on two of the 13 plants. I feed them bio-grow but every other watering. And the soil I let it get pretty dry there isn't much moisture left in the soil before I water.

Re: Soft Droopy Leaves?????

Woah dude.
Just looked at your pics. You need to kill that smaller plant asap!
That pot is already too small for the big one, because i was gonna say transplant soon.
But yea man you dont wanna risk killing both of those plants, by their roots gettin tangled together they'll choke. Im tellin you, get that little one out and transplant the bigger one.

Re: Soft Droopy Leaves?????

Is there a good technique to transplanting when there is more than one plant in a pot? What should I do, i don't want to cut either one down! I have three in another pot the same size. HELP!

Re: Soft Droopy Leaves?????

1 plant per pot, nothing other will work.
I say just cut the small one at the bottom of the main stalk and leave the roots as is, and just transplant it.

What he said. Never put more than 1 plant per pot, or you will continue to have the same problem. They will just entertwine and suffocate each other. Lesson to be learned from this, but with a quick transplant and better watering techniques they should be fine. Try to get a better PH test kit also, the non-digital ones aren't very good and may lead to more problems. You need one that you can measure the runoff accurately.

You have 13 plants and only use just over a gallon? Is that for all your plants????

What size are those containers?

My plants in 5gal containers take about 1 1/2 gallons each every 2-3 days and my 3 gallon cont. take about 1 gallon each

Re: Soft Droopy Leaves?????

So there is no way of taking one out and putting it in another pot? And the pots I think are only 1 1/2 gal but thats what they guy at the store said but there is no label on the pot they are not that big. So the real question is how do I save both plants?
