ouch, fox farms=meh
those look like a drainage issue, be sure yours are functioning and
plain water till they stand up, only when pot is dry to the bottom though, before they wilt even. do not consider flowering
until you've mastered the water/feed. those look like awesome trees, good job, stupid fox farm fucking up grows all over RIU
ff is so troublesome I wonder why anyone even bothers? is it almost free lol

Is there a chance that they have been over watered?

I don't think so...... I water about every 5 days. I always check the soil about 2 inches down from the top and also from the bottom at the drain holes.

They didn't even need the nutrients I don't think. I just thought because they were st arting to flower that I better add something... that's my fuck up.

heres the deal. fill a new bucket with dry dirt. feel the weight, now add 1/4 the dirt volume of water to the potted plant. dont worry about run off. tip the pot again and feel the weight, the perfect weight of a perfect watering. dont water again until the pot is light. then only the same amount of water. four gallons of dirt needs one gallon of water all at once for instance.
we dont often get second chances in flower, count your bud blessings

I will definitely be taking this advice. Thank you!! I appreciate the info.

One question. When you say don't worry about run off. Do you mean don't worry about how much run off you get? The only reason I stopped at about 1/2 gallon last time was because I had very little runoff and figured the plant had enough. Could that have introduced a bunch of nutrients in a concentrated form? Maybe if I had added enough, it would have flushed a bit away?

Just my two cents. First grow. No expert here but my plant did something similar in a 3 gal smartpot. At about the half gallon mark now I get runoff. I let it sit for a few minutes and it gets soaked back up. Then I go back to watering it. I have to do that a couple times and then when I get close to the end of the gallon it starts actually running off.

I mean the only concerns with your run off should be to suck up the standing water if any. follow the watering details I posted and never look back

So I got super faded last night off a chocolate bar my friend made and realized my plants were thirsty as f!! So I gave the two I was having problems with some tap mixed with kelp and used your watering technique and boom their back!!! All they had was some serious cotton mouth . I will post a couple pics when I get off work.

Glad you got it figured out! Girls are looking great. I like to get nice and spacey
when I water. It helps me zone out for a good time and let the girls soak up the water haha.Best of luck!
