Why So Droopy.

[orangejuice857]

2 weeks in, and just finished my new cab. but my babies are looking a little down.

What would be the cause of this problem? Overwatering? Underwatering? Or just stress, they have all but one be tranplanted to new, bigger pots. Any advice?

 

[pockitsPM]

yea similar problem only the entire plants just toppled over and the stems like soft and weak its still a sprout and really small but the color and leaves are fine but the plant just collapsed

 

[orangejuice857]

This girl as fallen over twice, once while a sprout. and now again today.

will she be alright.?

Over watering causes droopy leaves. Do not water till the soil dries out completly. As far as transplanting you could wait a little while to do that.

ya that a sure sign of overwatering.

 

[SCORPIO13]

use a stick in the soil and tie the plant to the stick. It should do the trick.

also put a fan on those to stregthen stem for toppling over.. also move your light closer or use more lights to prevent it stretching

they are close, i moved the light away for the photos. i have plenty of light on them. it might not look like it, but damn, when i open my closet door, shit glows. hurts my eyes. got a fan going as well, ive notice that the stems are getting thicker and stronger looking, except for like 2. which i moved closer to the fan. they were transplanted because they were in small plastic cups, and now in proper pots.

thats the thin i had it in rock wool which dried out today wit a fan on it constantly it was fine till today

 

[orangejuice857]

Its been 3 days since the last photos, and i haven't water them. The temp is about 80, and humidity around 45 50%.

I don't know why the leafs are still looking like this. Are they still swollen from the watering, or what? They been getting misted at least once a day, when i check on them. Could that be why?

And the 3rd pic. What is up with that baby? I transplanted it to a bigger container last night. and woke up to it looking oh so sad. What is wrong with her?

 

[SCORPIO13]

Do not water till the soil dries out she should perk up in no time.

 

[orangejuice857]

No watering till soil is dry. ok. its hard for a noob like myself not to water. they look like the need water, but i guess they dont. ha. thanks.

 

[SCORPIO13]

Yeah I know the feeling. The biggest part about growing is patients. I have learned that the hard way. LOL!

 

[orangejuice857]

Alright so today i woke up to one of the babies have a curled tip. What does this mean? or is it natural for it to do that?

I understand what your going thru. I stressed about everything my first time around, analyzing every little leaf and inspecting them for anything that seemed "abnormal.

This link can help you alot with the usual mistakes by new growers. I found it very helpful.

Just remember to check your soil before watering. Dig you finger in to the soil a couple of inches and only if it feels completely dry is it time to water. Also once they are in larger pots you can lift the pot after watering and only water again when to pot feels significantly lighter. You are not alone we all went thru these anxieties.

Good luck and keep on growing. Keep us posted on how it goes.
