Droopy New Plant - Day 12, problem or paranoid?

Hey guys, I have two plants, each about 12 days old.

Under 2 -26 watt cfls (don't care what you have to say about the cfls, I'm just saying to tell you what i got)

Stealth grow in dresser - currently no fan but temp does not seem to be an issue at an even 80.

Used straight worm castings, will transplant with good potting soil this weekend (hopefully fox farm).

Water every 3 days when the soil seems to be drying out.

I may be a noob but i doubt im over watering.

My guess is its a combination of underwatering, nute deficiency (not good enough soil starting off) and maybe a hair of heat stress with no fan?

Whats your guys take?

Doens't look like a nute defficiency, especially that young they don't need alot.
Could be insufficient oxygen, a fan is clutch, especially if the air quality surrounding your stealthgrow is low.
Try leaving your stealthgro open for a day or two, or give it some fresh air to see if it responds.

P.s. put your camera on macro mode or take a further picture and zoom your plants are terribly out of focus

Good luck!

Thanks bro +++ Rep for being the only one to respond.

Thats exactly what Ill do, leave the door open for a bit and work on gettin a fan. Went to the consignment shop today lookin for a cheap one, will check another place out on my way home tommorrow.

Could also be under water... that soil looks thirsty!! I had same problem, so worried about over watering I was only watering once a week and its to dry here for that. try once every 3 days see it it perks up

one more thing.. from the looks of the soil, it could be your medium. Perlite?? if no I strongly suggest!! chk out newb central under 101 already asked Q's. Look at how much water, and types of soil. GL Mate

Np. Hows it going? are your plants responding yet?
I dont think its underwatering, your leaves look swollen rather than flat, and theres no discoloration. Are they dry to touch?

Get some Oxine Benzonate! Commonly known as No-Damp, and treat your soil. It costs about 6 dollars for a 2.5% concentrate that dilutes into I think 30L. You haven't got a fan yet, so your SG might already host mold/fungus. You can find it at any garden centre, even walmart, and you only need to treat your soil once.

Take another picture (in focus this time)

Good luck!

what i did was on the second day I watered like normal, the next day just to see i watered one and not the other. The one i watered again curled a little more then the one i didn't water so I don't think its from not giving it enough.

I am pretty confident that it may be the fresh air.

thanks for your help guys. I have since transplanted. I have left the door open for a few days and yesterday took the housefan we use upstairs and put it on them for a day.

"lil girl" took the transplant decent with just a little yellowing, "big girl" spread her leaves out with the fan on her. Overall, i am not concerned. I think it is just a question of fresh air and they should be just fine.

Awesome, glad you got that under control.
