Drooping

awuerth · Jan 8, 2021

So this plant has had its up and downs being the first one being grown in a couple years. I didn't have my fan yet and Temps got hot but I fixed that so the brown spots aren't the issue right now. I am wondering about this drooping. Did I over water? I underwatered the plant once and it almost died but it made a really good recovery about a week ago. Since then I have watered it twice. The soil still feels a little damp when I put my finger in and the pot isn't extremely light so I dont think it's under watered. Any help and advice welcomed!

So I put fluids on plants in soil or soilless mixes like this; I mix my nutes and apply them to the soil until it's saturated and runoff starts. You are then supposed to put 10 to 20% of the pots volume through it again for runoff. I do this every time I put fluids on them. I don't add more fluids until the pot feels light to the touch. Try to get good at judging their water level by weight. You can't keep ferting a plant, you need water irrigation in there as well. So I usually fert then water, then fert. If she looks a bit deficient I fert, fert, water. That a help to you?

On the verge of the claw
To much Nitrogen for the amount of light

Thanks both responses. I have been using ffof and happy frog mixed soil. No added nutrients so far. I've been reading this soil can be too hot for autos. Next water I will try a flush maybe.

I guess it can be too hot for autos! I used a bag of each one last year outside on my big plants and that's the only way I'd use it. I used to belong to another site and we had a bunch of people with autos under a foot tall with the fan edges all burnt up from ocean forest. You did real well to get an auto that big in FFOF; in my opinion anyway.

Thanks man. Just getting back into this hobby after a 5 year or more break(last two grows might be in my profile) . I missed it too much. Previously I only did regular flowering and hps light. Now I'm trying autos under LEDs. Tomorrow I will flush and monitor for the next couple days and cross my fingers.

Hi mate did you ever find out what was going on?
My plants look just like this and I'm about to kill my 4th cycle trying to figure this problem out I keep having.
Do you think it's something to do with transpiration rates under led lights?
Looks like overwatering but as I understand, plants don't transpire the water under led lights like they do under hps.
Could this be the case?
Let me know if you ever found a solution, thanks.
