I water every couple days.. Usually when the top is looking dry. The night before I took this picture I watered it a little with some nuts for the first time 10 10 10 vigora. They have been drooping for about 4 days I believe. And I also usually spray them with a spray bottle, pure water maybe, once a day.

And a yellow spot showed up today almost oh the end of a leave, almost like, a pen prick.

Seeing that the leaves yellowed it may not need nutes. Lay off the nutes and give it a few watering and see it the leaves are nice and perky again. Let me know how that works. Just water with normal water with no nutes and if it's still drooping let me know. Also what types of lights are you using and how far away from it?

I've got four 26w 6500k cfl's I wanna say.. 1800 lumens a piece in a two foot drier vent "reflector". Two plants in A Tupperware bin mylar'd up with a fan on during light cycles. 82 degrees 50% humidity. Oh yeah and one light is always about an inch away.

Ok so wait until it looks like it needs watering as usual, just no nuts?

Yeahh. Let the container get lighter in weight and water when it feels light or dry a few inches down in soil and no nutes. See if this works. If not we'll try something else! I'll be here with you all the wayy bro!

Haha appreciate it. It's really an amazing process. I feel like I have children now.

Yeahh. I have 2 indoor and 1 outdoor right now. I have basically left them alone and water and move the lights every few days for the indoor one and the outdoor one just gets checked on every morning to make sure it gets light early in the morning and as much as possible. How old are you plants again?

About four weeks .. Maybe four and some change. Do they look the right size? They were under 2700k lights to begin with for a couple weeks

Still drooping.. I'm gunn a dry out the soil real good n see if they perk up. Got a cheap ph meter, read a bit over 6. Good? I also took 2 6500k bulbs out n replaced with 26 watt 2700k's. Becuz I'm panicked, is that fine? So I'll have four 26 waters two at 6500k and two 2700k's. Bad switch or what?

Oh. Yeah. Let the soil dry out and wait til you know the plants need water to water again. This will help make a stronger root system while also making sure you don't overwater them. The pH is about PERFECT! On the lighting situation, if they are still vegging then put in 6500k lights and for veg mix in some 2500k lights. 5000k and higher are better for vegg and 3000k and lower are better for flowering!

Okay I swapped in all 6500k bulbs. Also, question for u, I'm gunn a be going away on vacation for a week, I can have my timer on for lights and fan, but I'm wondering if I'll be okay with watering if I get one of these... Aqua globes?

You can use the Aqua Globe. Just fully water you plants throughly and make sure there is a little runoff to make sure its watered 100% then fill up the Aqua Globe and stick it into the soil. That way when the soil dries out a little after the water the Aqua Globe with moisten it. How long are you going to be gone again?
WeedxManxEli

If you can use more than 1 Aqua Globe. Since you're gonna be gone for a week.

I'm looking at about 5 to 7 days. It won't over water ifi stick like three mini aqua globes in each? Lol

No. It's only going to release water when the soil dries out and air goes into the Globe forcing out enough water to feed the plants.

Alriiiight. Btw they are still drooping, tho that yellow dot seems to have cured itself.. The soil is drying out but I stuck my finger in n it seems to have moisture about halfway down still. Gunnar wait a couple hours since the lights just went on. When should I begin with nutes? I haven't seen much growth lately,notlikei was before at least.. And the plant a topped is still growing in, the new stem is like, a half centimeter to a centimeter long, I topped like a week ago..any ideas?
