Plant 2 weeks old, Leaves very droopy and wrinkled.. starting to yellow

avrum · Jun 27, 2011

Hey guys,

This is my second grow, Easyrider Autoflower in a PC Case. the plant is two weeks old growing on 20/4 cycle, with 1 6500 105W CFL. temps are around the 90 without the aircon working, and 75-80 with.
Leaves look very droopy and unhappy, and its wrinkling down and yellowing. I gave it half a dose of grow nutes (BioGrow) for the first time yesterday.. the problem started before i gave nutes (i think its been like that since the first set of leaves) so i guess its not nute burn.

any thoughts? this is really annoying the hell out of me.

thanks

Looks like over-watering to me...do you let her dry up in between watering, let soil drink up most of the moister before adding more, or it will harm roots, they need to breathe too in between watering... :leaf:

How often are you watering?

avrum · Jun 27, 2011

Just a little every couple of days.. i'll try giving it less each time, and maybe start giving it every 3 days

i looks like a runt.has growth been deformed since day one?

Hoenhiem · Jun 27, 2011

over watering is a newer grower is prone to and can happen faster than you think.. idk if ur a noob or not but to be on the safe side u may want to let the water in the soil go almost all the way dry and water little by little. this method helped me in the beginning stages until you can gauge by weight or time when its time to water again. u may even want to use soil high in perlite so it drains faster so frequent watering which newer grower seem to want to do with a seedling wont be as harmful. hope this helps. good luck

avrum · Jun 27, 2011

well, i havent grown this strain before. the growth has been droopy and wrinkly since the get go. besides that, the set of leaves are growing very tight and the stem is very short, but ive seen that before in my previous grow so i guess thats normal..

I've done one successful grow from start to finish, but I did grow a few more seedlings until i found out they are male. my soil has 25% perlite in it.. should I go for 50%? I guess it is possible i might have exaggerated with water this time.. this is my first grow with "store bought seeds" and i guess my cautiousness, worrying that she is thirsty, is whats dragging me down. I will not water it for the next 3 days and see what happens. it's not too late, is it? :/

Hoenhiem · Jun 27, 2011

no i dont think thats too late. i think your doing a good job so far and we all fall victem to over loving our plants from time to time. pros and noobs alike. i see a good bit of perlite in your soil and thats a good thing. if u were to add more it would mean your soil drains faster and u would need to water more often but it could be overdone as well. before you do that i would just let the soil do its thing. if about 3-5 days go by and yr soil shows no drainage i would worry about yr roots but thats neither here nor there. cannabis is a very resilient plant so i would try to let her come around by herself before u begin to do anything. i ran into this problem after i transplanted a runt plant and saturated the soil. it was still a small pot and i didnt need to water for a week and shes doing fine. so with a little love and alot of patience they may turn out just fine. keep us posted freind.
