Ever since she started pre-flower she started drooping slightly.... Now I don't know if it's because the energy she is using to flower or what ever it could be because this is my FIRST grow. What do you guys think??
She gets Bio BIZZ Bio Bloom now that she is flowering, along with Root Organics Phos Bat Guano.... I Ph my water to the point but other than that nothing else
I also don't like the seeing the top leaves turned up & this dropped.... What could be the cause of this as well??
I'm not expert, but how hot/cold has it been there? My plants in the past have done that when they didn't get enough sunlight (too early in the year). Also, do you think your pots arent large enough? Maybe the roots need more room.
[quote name='"ThaWatcha00"'] I also don't like the seeing the top leaves turned up & this dropped.... What could be the cause of this as well??[/quote] What's your soil mix ? Is there proper drainage ? Looks to me lk over watering and high humidity ? But with out having more info it's just a guess from quick glance at the photo Gd luck ! "keep em growin "
Really... My watering had her stretching a few weeks ago. Should I water less now that she is flowering?? As far as the soil she is in Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil & I hand water her until the weight of the pot is a little heavier then before. Her leaves are more folded up today then yesterday... & I keep hearing that folded up leaves means a thirsty plant, is that true??
Look at your leafs close. If they look like a claw or claw foot it is overwatering. The upper curling looks just from heat and should be okay. My bet is overwatering for some of your leafs look like early claw foot. Always remember that MJ does not like wet feet.
[quote name='"ThaWatcha00"']So do I water her at all tomorrow or just cut the water down to half??[/quote] Honestly the way I learned and was taught was this : Go pick up a soil tester doesn't matter if it has ph Gauge or not those are inaccurate unless you plan on spending few hundred dollars you want one that measures the moisture they can be found for around 10$ and will give you a pretty good guideline for watering I'm not saying it's the end all but it should help you just because the soil on top is dry does not mean the rest is ! These plants thrive much more on a healthy water schedule I would wait for that tester to deff read dry then water accordingly I would suggest to cut back the amount of water in say maybe half repeat the cycle I alternate water and feeds just what I like good luck my friend "keep em GROWIN "
It's been 55 degrees out here the past 2 days.... Could that big of a drop cause them to droop as well?
I would have told you that the 90 degree soil was making them droop a bit but if theyre doing it when its 55, i dont know. 5150 is right about the claw look. Overwatering causes the leaves to fold in and point down in a claw look. rapo is correct as well, those little moisture meters will tell you but really alls you need to do is feel the soil. It should normally be dry on top, but you should be able to detect moisture at finger length depth. Poke your finger down, it its dry down there, it needs a little water. If not then it doesnt. At 90 degrees, that plant in that container needs 1 gall of water every 4 days or so. Cooler temps would require less. Low 80's would need a gal a week or so.
Wow I been watering them way too much then.. How long do you think it will take it to bounce back? Damn I'm great full for this forum because I been misled... Ok I will back off on the water a bit, thanks guys
another way is the heft method. Next time you water your plant heft the pot off the ground and remember how heavy it is. It will be a heavy with all that water in it. Then after a few days heft the pot again off the ground. If it feels light then water it.
If you experienced such a dramatic drop in temps, the plant is not going to need the same amount of water as it did when it was 90.
