    Sounds like you were over watering.

    I have 3ft plants in 3 gal pots that I only water 1/4-1/2 gallon every 3 days.

    Best way to tell if your plants are dry is to pick up the pot they are in. If the pot is light, it needs water, heavy; wait for the next day and try again.

    You say you haven't watered them for 4 days and they still look droopy?

    root bound maybe?

    Yes because I had this happen earlier so I stopped watering for a few days and started them back up with light waterings now it's happened again! I gave them a little 70/30 mix of water and hydrogen peroxide and they seem slightly healthier the I watered lightly. They seem slightly healthier now I feel as if I may have root problems like root rot idk

    Got rid of a few about a week ago and root didn't seem too packed but these are bigger so possibly. I need to get new pots eventually nows a good of time as any.

    Well wait a minute... When you stopped for a few days did they start looking any better? Because if you say you started watering again and they started looking like shit again, I think that should give you your answer!

    I'll stick with over watering.

    What are ur temps like? Its obviously a hard stress of some type
     
  12. #12 tiger bloom, Aug 27, 2011
    No stones at the bottom just soil. Temps are 80-85

    There's ur problem, that's too high unless ur using co2 enrichment- u want it in the mid 70s

    Soil is to dense for whatever reason. Not enough oxygen is getting to roots. When this happens intermittently to a otherwise healthy plant. Need to aerate the soil in the pot somehow. Maybe you packed it down to much, problem is with no air getting to bottom roots.

    She don't like water...easy enough right? Starve that bitch. Whats that old saying again?

    "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

    edit: Do you have any perlite in your mix?
     
  16. #16 tiger bloom, Aug 28, 2011
    No I'm not using perlite. Think I should transplant? Unfortunately that's the coldest I can get it even with an exhaust system. It's way too fucking hot in cali.

    Would poking holes in the soil be enough?
     
  18. #18 Ccoastal, Aug 28, 2011
    It would help but if u have the wrong mix of soil it will always want to pack together, u never wanna use out of the bag soils u always wanna amend it properly

    Unless that soil has perlite already such as happy frog.
