well i have a couple questions.
1.can anyone tell me why the leaves look droppy?
2.can anyone tell me why the top shoots look light green and not dark like the other older fan leaves?
3.could the couple brown spots on the lower leaves by from nute burn?

i topped my plant about a week ago but all the new shoots look droppy and light green.i have my plant in mg soil.i dont feed it nutes just water it about once every week wen ever the soil feels dry.its about 4 weeks old.wat can i do to make it look more healthier an for all the leaves can stand back up like there sopposed to be.

i also added a pic of my clone i clipped last week..and i was wondering wen i should remove it from the humidity dome?

It's always a bad idea growing in MG soil. It's also hard to tell with the pics that you put up. I'm leaning towards a magnesium deficiency. Try watering with two teaspoons per gallon of epsom salt. If it was a nitrogen deficiency your bottom leaves would be the ones that are light green. Are the tips of your new leaves yellow? If so, I'd be more convinced that it's magnesium.

But usually with magnesium deficiency, the sides of the leaves point up.

Do the new leaves lack succulence? It kinda looks like it to me. That's also a sign of mag def...

If both these things are happening, then you should take my advice. If not, don't take it. I just can't tell from your pics.

As far as not knowing your pH goes... You NEED to get a decent pH meter if you want to grow!

Ph is one of the essential elements of a grow.
Buy a tester.
Even a 3-way soil tester($10) from the hardware store will help.
I wouldn't use something that hot myself.
Primarily I just use FoxFarm Big Bloom.

alrght guys tanxs for all ur advice i think im goin to go buy a ph tester in a couple days.but i knw now for sure its not nitrogen def..

and as for the new leaves lookin yellow thats not a problem over here.the new leaves look green except for their light green.could it be that there like that cuz i topped it about a week ago an does were the lil leaves that were growin between the nodes.and well they look like there bocoming a lil darker slowly.

I didn't ask if the whole leave was yellow. I asked if the "tips" of the new leaves are yellow... Also, a mag deficiency will cause your leaves to be light green in the beginning.

When I say succulence- I mean do they appear like they aren't as green as they should be? Do they look like they need water? Do they just not look as healthy as they should be?

Succulence (for weed leaves) is that nice green glossy appearance, where they just look super healthy. If you add epsom salt and a mag. def. is the problem, you'll see exactly what I mean the very next day...

Adding two teaspoons per gallon isn't a super strong concentration, and even if it isn't the problem, it won't hurt your plants.

Topping your plant has nothing to do with the light green appearance of your leaves.

okay yea thats wat i meant to put my bad..but the tips arent yellow.
Hmm...From the pics you just took the tips look yellow to me. Your leaves are also cupped up a bit on the sides, which signals a mag def., and they are still fairly light green. I would use the epsom salt.

MG soil has time release nutes. It's possible that some of those nutes were just released and that's why your plant is looking better.
