Drooping plants

NOAHG · #1 (**permalink**) 07-21-2009, 12:02 AM

I have aout 40 plants flowering under 4 1000w hps's, they looked awesome in veg but a weed into flowering the plants leaves are drooping and bowing. I test ph and ppm every feeding follow feeding schedule perfectly. I am using coco pots and botanicare soiless aeration medium, i water once a day by hand until pots are saturated and heavy and when lights turn off pots are light. My room is set at 50% humidity, room is 80-83 degress when lights are on. My lights are air cooled i had them at 18" from plants but just raised them to 24". I cannot explain this problem it hasnt happened before and i am confused any advice will be appreciated.

Sounds like under watering. The plants will transpire more as they grow. Try feeding and watering as normal in the morning and a light watering later in the day. Post some pictures.

That was my initial thought too. The only way im able to differ over-watering, from under-watering, is that when the plant is over-watered the leaves droop and curl in towards the top of the leaves. When it's under-watered the leaves droop and curl in towards the bottom of the leaves. This is just from my experience, but it seems the pictures I see for both all say the same thing. Maybe just something to look at?

overwater leaves feel heavier thicker. underwater feel light almost crunchy.
