Finally into (auto)flowering stage with my one and only girl. Things seem to be going alright, though not perfect. I had a power outage the other day that lasted 3 hours, things came back on. The next day I found it all wilted, scared me to death :). Day after that it looked fine, and now today I find it wilted again. What's going on?! I've been giving it plenty of water, but no nutes whatsoever, it's about 8 weeks old total.

On the bright side, I've got buds! How do they look?

2 pics in portrait are of the wilting, the other 2 were taken a few days before when it looked healthier.

That could be a sign of overwatering. That power outage could have fooled you and made you think she needed water, when really she was sleeping.

Can anyone speculate on whats happening here?
To me it's one of 2 things.. soil has no nutes left for the plant, I've never given it any besides fox farms and home-made compost.
It's getting too cold or dry at night. The temps have dropped outside, and since it's in the basement, that could be affecting it, but I checked last night when it was 58F outside, it was 77F in the box. wtf.
No change it's overwatered.. underwatered if anything, but the soil stay moist enough.

So it ranges from 90F in the day, to ~75F at night, between 35%-55% humidity.

I like a 20 degree drop when lights go off. Although 90 is too hot without co2 enrichment and amongst other factors. That last photo the damage has been done, looks like its almost dead, all I can tell you is it looks like its thirsty and hot. OR you have root problems. Does your timer turn your lights on at night and turn off during day? If not this will be more efficient as far as heat goes.. If not you need some sort of intake pulling cool air in, I'd like to see the highest temp you get is 80 and low 60-65. Your humidity is good for flower.

Thanks MrG. It's af, so the lights have basically been running for 6 weeks, but that's good info to have for future grows. There were a couple intake fans, but had to cover the back of the pc with a towel to keep light from escaping. Blocking the fan definitely made it a little hotter, but it was always breezy inside, never felt too hot to me, despite the temp readings. Underwatered could have been the issue, I just don't know, i always made sure to keep the soil moist, but not saturated, letting it dry out for a couple days every now and then. I've transported what's left of her to a buddy's ICU, as I have to go out of town. Hoping for a recovery, but not expecting much. Does it look now like there's any hope left for the buds to keep growing?IMAG0323.jpg
