    Hey guys, so I obviously have things up and going now. I will try and give you as much info as possible to help get this situation sorted out. I am concerned with the drooping. The fan leaves are all drooping down. The strain is northern lights blue feminized by delicious seeds. She broke ground 19 days ago and is in a 100% perlite hempy. She was started in a 16oz solo cup and was transplanted 5 days ago. She has been given 1/2 strength nutes(GH flora series) with b1 every feeding. The last few days I have been top watering the past few days to ensure roots have gone to the reservoir. The nutes are ph'd between 5.8-6.1. I do have hard water which sits out for 24 hrs before mixing nutes up. I will be switching over to RO next week to help avoid problems. I have been giving a foliar feeding as well with some Epsom salts (1/8 tsp per 600ml with 1/2 strength nutes). Foliar feed is once a day at lights out. Temps have been a high of 84 at canopy and down to 68 with lights off. Humidity is a bit low around 30-35%.

    Being a 100% perlite hempy grow, it is almost impossible to overwater from what I've read. But, who knows. This is my first indoor grow so all and any help is appreciated!!

    Thanks guys and gals!!

  2. Oh. Under 312 w of CFL's (6500k) for 18/6. If you need any more info let me know.
     
  3. My main concern is the drooping leaves. I forgot to mention that.
     
  4. Looks overwatered. 100% perlite grow is more of an expert hobby/experiment IMO. Stick with soil or soilless medium.
     
  5. You did better in strait pelite then I ever did. Mine would die long before getting that big.
     
    If it was just transplanted be patient, it will launch and perk up.
     
  6. I thought it may have been overwatered as I've been top feeding her quite a bit recently. I'll hold off on the watering for another day or two and see how light the bucket is. I just wanted to ensure the roots made it to the res. I read quite a bit on hempy bucket growing and it made me sway this route for my first grow. The fear of overwater (to death) is virtually eliminated with the bucket. May end up going to soilless if this method is a bust. But I will be sure to keep you all updated. And thanks for the input, I do appreciate all help from you experienced growers it there.
     
  7. Over watered and light not close enough . Just my thoughts

  8. Overwatering seems to be the general consensus. The lights are about 6-9" above the plant and the temp is now 83 constant with lights on at that distance. Plus, the plant doesn't look stretched so may be a sign that the light distance is a good distance? This is just my thoughts and could be way off.
     
  9. Pick updates. Does things look better? Here is still some curling going on. I let the bucket dry right out and added 1.5 litres (1 litre 1/2 strength nutes and .5 litre ro water). I will leave here for two days at least on feedings now and go from there.

    Thoughts so far? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1422334246.956798.jpg

  10. It looks good, give it time.
     
  11. Sounds good. I plan to really LST her, so when do you think I should FIM or top her. Height is my main issue.
     
  12.  
    Yea its all tall and stuff LOL. No if you keep it well lit up it will grow wide and bushy naturally.
     
    LST is always a good plan, you have a week or two before there is anything to tie down.
     
  13. Awesome!! Thanks for the sound advice man!
     
  14.  
    Your welcome, keep us posted on the progress. The plant looks good.
     
  15. I will forsure! Since the plant is looking good in some expert eyes. I won't clutter the forum with this thread. My journal is in my sig. Thanks for the help here too everyone!! Chat soon!
