I have 4 indoor autos placed in 5 gallon smart pots filled with happy frog soil.
They get water every 3.5 days with just ph'd water between 6.0 - 6.5.
Because the seedlings are in the 5 gallon pot, I've been watering just around the plant and giving about 2 liters to each lady.
The water is well water and pretty hard. I'm using the outdoor spigot which is untreated and naturally comes out at 200ppm. I have not been giving calmag in hopes the water minerals are already there.
The girls received their first and only feed 4 days ago with a light dose of micro, gro, bloom, great white mychro. The total ppm was 300 (200 was natural from the water), ph was 6.3 and each girl got 2 liters.
Yesterday, the last day of week 2 from sprout I self diagnosed them as being underwatered. the leaves were droopy (they have always been a little droopy) but the leaves felt fragile, dry and paper like to the touch. It was a watering day anyway so I gave them each 1 gallon of water ph'd at 6.2 and added a little great white for the roots.
I hoped after getting a large watering they would look better. But, 24 hours later, they look the same or even a little bit worse.
Where should I go from here?
As a side note: they seem to have tight node stackings and are barely taller than the side of the pot. they're still late seedling/early veg. I have a mars FC E3000 light at around 70% and 21" away from the canopy. Would you raise it to cause some stretching? Or, will they handle that themselves in veg and flower?
