Is this bad?

Over water is bad in soil that holds moisture and will kill a plant. Over water is a common problem for new growers.

You are correct with a fast draining medium.

It hard tell the difference. Both will cause droop.

Under water the leaf stem will relax and the leaves will lay down against the plant. Chronic under water will cause yellowing and necrosis spots.

Over water the leaf will droop but leaf stems stay straight.

Over water will cause yellowing and rotted looking leaves.
So what do i do? I'm sure it's a nutrient lock out, should I water til I see run off? I'll let the soil dry out a decent amount before I do this, because the soil I have isn't the greatest, cheapest stuff I could find actually, and the bucket doesn't really have the much drainage

It looks good in color but will start turning fast.

Most bloom nutes are low in N.

Losing leaves is not normal until late flower.

What soil is that and what have you been feeding and how much.


The whole bloom nutrient thing is mostly bullshit. A good balanced feed all the way through works great.

The make two sets for people to buy more.

I've run dynagro one part 9-3-6 and it works great.

Don't buy into the hype of all the bs nutrient companies sell.

Only certain strains will need high P or K.

Plus you know that thing is burning N fast from stretch. There is none left so its taking from old growth.

Losing leaves in early flower is not normal and due to lack of N in bloom foods.
I think I may have quit my hydro addiction before I figured that out. I did enough reading/to convince, bought organicare crumbles(2x in flower). been there since years and love it big time. I dont get dying leaves in flower until the end date is very near or past even, and thats where my sweet spot is. they are loaded with fish powder(N) in veg and at flower onset, so, I am a believer in N/flower after all.....
peace
