how much do you water them - enough to let water drain through the bottom? how do you go about watering them, mainly?

also, what type of light are they under and how far away is it?

looks kinda like over-watering and not the right type of light.

thanx for the reply guys,
im new to this, anyways i have transplanted the plant into a bigger pot ( 5 gallons pot now)
i used to water each plant 1 gallon of water, is that to much?
with 15-30-15 fert.

the plant is so droopy after i transplanted, and i used a stick to give her support, will she recover? or is she gone?

Regards

A Gallon each watering is to much for each watering. I freaked out the same with my first plant. I know how hard it is to just let your plant sit there while you think it is in trouble but the true trouble is doing to much. Drooping is usually associated with under watering or over watering, if you can stick your finger 3 inchs into the soil and feel water then it is over water. Sit back and let her recover you'd be suprised how strong a marijuana plant truely is. Also if the drooping started after you transplanted her then she just went into shock and growth rate will stop while she gets adjusted. She'll bounce back in afew days.

thanx exo for your reply ,

shes so droopy now with sticks, do you think she will recover after i transplanted her into 5 gallon pot ?
i hope i didn't kill her :( , do you think that the 255 x 190mm pots will be ok for the other 2 ? or should i transplant?
how much water should i give them then ?

i used the procyon 100 LED light with 4 x 26 watt warm CFL's and it was good in the begging, i think i wasted my money.

thanx everyone

Yeah if your using LEDs and CFLs a gallon is way to much. The rule most soil growers use is if you stick your finger 3 inchs into the soil and can't feel water then you need to water until you see drops of water coming from the bottom holes of the pot (then you can stop).

i dont think they look great lol, anyway thanx for the post.

i cant use a metal halide cuz of the heat, im so confused now.

how can i get a light that is strong and doesnt produce heat at the same time.

i went with leds cuz they dont produce heat.

you don't need too much strength in veg mode. but it's essential that cannabis receives light well within the blue spectrum during veg growth.

a 200-400w MH is fine for vegging any height really, especially hydro. but cannabis doesnt require a MH, many floresecents out there contain excellent amounts of blue and purple end spectrum.

its flowering where you really want your power and red/yellow spectrum. just a heads up!

oh yeah and 100-200 ml per watering is probably your best bet! cannabis loves dryspells!
