ok the proablem im having is my plants started drooping and looking very yellow a few days ago. Im growin purple wreck, blue dream, g13, pineapple wreck and hindu skunk outside from clone. my daytime temps are around 90-92 my nightime temps are around 52-55 im in the mountains at 2200 elavation. I am growing in kellogs soil with about a 25%-30% pertalite, i was watering every day but i cut back when i seen the yellowing starting about 3 days ago maybe a lil more. They are about 3wks old and i have only nuted them once with fox farm big grow and some cal-mag. why are they droopy and yellow overwatering? my ph is at 6.2-6.5 in all plants, the droopy leaves are a firm drooppy to. last year i grew in 30gal grow bags and had no proablems, but i think i overwatered this is the first time i have planted in the ground.
havent watered soil in 2 days, but i did foliar feed with ff big grow tonight beacuse i figured it might be nitrogen to .

the first 4 pics are the purple trainwreck there yellowing bad
the 5th and 6th are blue dream there droopy
the 7th is a hindu skunk i aded to show the diference in green

At your elevation the soil dries up faster than elsewhere. The grow bags you used last year retained more moisture! The plants look dry! I would water with just plain water for a few days! The perlite helps dry the soil faster, and it contains nitrogen too, so don't overnute! I see where you dug the holes but the surrounding soil looks dry too, may be very rocky underneath which will not allow moisture to be retained. Usually at that elevation, unless you are in the tropics, the soil is of a rocky substrate, ie: uplift which forms mountains. I took some geology courses. Just my two cents, but they look dry! Hope this helps, good luck!

Also, the leaves curling up like that means they need more moisture, the elevation you are at is drier, especially in Nor Cal! Water more frequently or use some H2O globes, they will love you in return!

ok so the problem was ph lockout the root balls were staying at like 5.0-5.2 ph . I watered yesterday with ph up, humboldt verde, root thrive and alaska fish food, today i just watered with ph up and got all them up to 6.2- 6.4 wich i think is doing allott better. I can see them growing a lil so im pretty sure i solved my problem, back to another monster nor cal summer sweet..

sandy loam needs more water more often.
feed them guys more too.
sandy loam is good for drainage ... akin to a dusty road.
