Hey guys, First time grower here, germinated my seed in paper towel then stuck it in a rapid rooter. Once the root came out of the bottom of the rapid rooter I put it into a soil mix of 80/20 light warrior/ocean Forrest. 300w marshydro led around 20-30 inches above seedling. Light watering daily with ph6 water, mostly just keeping the surface moist. Anyway, the first set of leaves are super droopy, second set of leaves coming through. Does anyone know if this level of droopiness on the first set of leaves is normal? Or am I doing something wrong.. Thanks for the help guys Let me know if you can't see the pics Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Just ease up on the water let it dry before watering it gives the roots opportunity to breathe other than that it's fine. This I what mine looked like after a watering. Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk
Sweet thanks bud, except your leaves are drooping the opposite way to mine! Lol Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Leaves droop from over-watering because the roots aren't getting enough oxygen, not because watering adds weight to the leaves.
For seeds, just use a spray bottle and mist. Don't over saturate. When over watering, notice the pictures the poster above made. The leafs shoot out from the branch at a good 45 degree angle. However, then the leaf drops down after the normal angle of the stem, that is overwatering. Underwatering the stem and leaf will droop. Good luck
Keep posting though it looks like it's gonna be a tall beautiful plant Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk
Then why does underwatering also cause leaves to droop? MJ roots hate being stuck in super saturated soil because they cant breathe
I swear I'm not pulling answers out of my ass I did a ton of research before I started my own grow Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk
I don't understand the relevance of your two attachments. Your statement was that overwatering added weight to the leaves which results in drooping. Neither of the two attachments verify your statement - they only verify what we already know about the symptoms of overwatering.
Water builds in the leaves which shows signs of over watering. When the water builds it would cause the drooping. Sent from my Z981 using Tapatalk
If you're completely right then provide some type of scientific proof to verify your claims - your two attachments didn't verify them - it's that simple sir.
Read this. It has nothing to do with water weighing the leaves down. Proving my point on roots needing oxygen.
The drooping plant parts are not leaves, they are the cotyledons from the seed embryo. The curving is normal. Others are right about over watering causing leaf droop, but this is not your problem. Don't try to fix a problem that doesn't exist. PW
