Your humidity is to low for veg, should be at least at 50-60%. From they're appearance it's a watering issue. From what you've told us it's underwatered, probably due to low humidity and just a lack of watering. Distilled or purified water would both be better than tap. Try watering more consistantly while still letting your soil dry out still between waterings, should raise your humidity too.

If you use distilled water you will reverse the whole process the plant does in up taking food, instead the distilled water will suck out the minerals that the plant has and then you will start to see some real problems.

Purified water does not make it better than tap water, have you ever tested purified water? PH 8 to 9 and PPM 300 to 500 and some still have chlorine in them.
To remove chlorine let your water set out over night, and if you have hard water use 1/8 tsp Epsom salt per gallon water will fix this in most cases.

Humidity: as long as it stays between
28 to 45 it should be good, remember the more your plant stinks the happier it is.

I would say his plant is drowning from the looks of the pics.Right now I have 3 plants in 5 gal buckets and I give them a 1/2 gal of water in the morning and the second 1/2 gal a few hours later. Also 1/2 tsp ferts per gallon 18-30-16 from start to finish when in dirt.

My avatar pic speaks for it self. Yes it is my last big grow before I moved to the rocky's.

sorry for thinking food is energy

A plant with nut lock still up takes food, but it will die do to the fact it can not convert it to energy.
If the leaves can not convert the food to energy they will die and turn yellow and get what looks like big spots on leaves. no photosynthesis can happen.

Ok so what nute do you use that is 18-30-16? Miracle Gro? I heard ferts like miracle gro does something to the THC....but I may be wrong...

If u go that route, its not an organic nute, its chemi which means u will build a tolerance....right now i am growing organically, but all i smoke is chemi....10 bowls a day....barely stay high, maybe 20mins.....sux. I know organic is different as I have been to cali and tasted several different kinds....

:bigjoint: Good info though to say the least...nice grow as well!

I have customers right now that would tell you my stuff is the bomb, one hit wonders.
Why is because I trim all my leaf off of my buds. Most of the time that chemy taste is coming from the leaf that was left behind in the bud.

If you been to were I used to grow for 15 years, and you smoked skunk, thistick, sensimilla or any other large farmed strain are not grown on high dollar nuts.

the last big grow that came to the mile high city White Queen it was all grown on MG nut, and every dispensary around wanted it. All 1200 pounds were gone in 4 days.

This is not true, most organic nuts use synthetic chelates to help the plant intake more nut, this is do to the fact in the natural outdoors the ground has enzymes that help breakdown organic mater into usable ions for the plant to intake. Also out doors most plants have around 9 months to do this.

Plants do not care if it is organic or man made, if it has ions that are easily available it going to use them. The path of least Resistance.

right now i am growing organically, but all i smoke is chemi....10 bowls a day....barely stay high, maybe 20mins.....sux. I know organic is different as I have been to cali and tasted several different kinds....

Manures and composts contain inorganic salts, organic salts, and insoluble organic forms of nutrients. But their salt content per unit of nutrient may not differ much from fertilizer, since their nutrient content is a lot lower, and they contain salts not necessarily needed for the crop. Also, as they decompose, the nutrients turn into salts. as we know to much salts not needed for plants to grow will lock out the plant and it can die.

:bigjoint:So from your avatar picture i see you hang the buds to dry...for how long? I bought a rubbermaid ruffneck container with a built in air filtration system for my buds to dry...just curious if the upside down thing is necessary...as my buds will lay flat on screens inside the ruffneck container.

So MG doesnt do any to taste or potency...maybe i will try MG and compare the smoke...on my next round of plants.:bigjoint:

Seriously thank you for the info, really helpful...

The reason I hang is when you harvest 100 plant it is easier to hang them to dry than right were you cut them down than to drag all the tubs up a mountain or the carry all that water weight down a mountain.

My plants are drooping also I have a flood & drain kit, hydro. There 4 weeks old looks good but droops at the end of the day. But when the light comes on and I check them they salute me, Lights 18/6 turns on at 3am-9pm when it starts to be at the end of their day they droop. I water 4x's a day for 15min @ 7am 11am 3pm 7pm then they droop like around 5pm. Im a ambitious noob so I did something also that I think made them droop today. (stupid) I put Orange peels in the room thinking it would make them more potent cuz I get garbage weed from my guy and I put Orange peels in the bag then it comes out a real good high in a couple days. So maybe that did it. Well I think it did. Then yesterday I think I overwater them cuz I was doing some test, and I didnt think I was overwater them until I seen them drooping then I started to think why and that was why. But the day before I didnt do anything and then one was dropping IDK please give me some help, pointers + rep to good advice thanks riu friends.
