as the title states, i've got a mother big buddha plant in the closet which just recently ( 2 days ago? ) began to droop and leaves curl in. its become worse over he course of 2 days. I havent dont anything to her since. havent added water, nutes, nothing. just left her.
The pot is becoming lighter but it's still got moist soil. I wont water until tomorrow / day after.
Any advice? the fan leaves are yellowing, the rest of the leaves are very moist and feel like they will dry off and die soon.

I gotta be with B166 on this one, I am a first time grower with 7 mother plants, twice the size of yours after 2 months of vegging. That plant is missing sunlight or the right temps to grow, it cant be that small for no reason...

Have only been feeding distilled water, and havent taken clones yet. Was supposed to do that next weekend.

She needs to be repotted in a bigger pot or the same pot with soil all the way to the top, you say SHE ........then water with 1/4 strength veg nutes ....whatever you got and hope for the best

Ive had moist soil drying off under light for 3 days now,
I will fill up the soil in the pot, and then I can give a full watering?

You asked........im just saying it looks like its in about 5 inches of soil......that's why its so small and turning yellow.....but YES you can just topdress and water it in.

hmm maybe a good 7-8 inches on a ft long pot now.
i dont know about nutrients, they are sitting in organic medium already. i do have 10-15-10 NPK nutes tho.

now that soil is filled, is it okay to water?
and should i add 1/4 dose nutes?

2-1-1 is better for veg. you have 1-1.5-1 what you have is better for flowering.
Plants need N in veg. Is the main element for leaf grow. Nitrogen is easily washed away and need to be replaced regularly.

i see what you're saying. during vegetation, plant requires more nitrogen
flowering is when you need potassium.
so if i picked up something like 10-5-5, would that be okay for veg.? add 1/4 dose of that and gradually increase per watering

Ya, go ahead and feed.
If me, I would say looks like an N and K def. and feed 1/2 strength even if you're just using 10-15-10.
Water it in good, until you get some runoff.
