So, for the past two weeks or so my plant's have started to droop down completely, every leaf set and stem seems to get really weak and all the leaves droop straight to the ground. The plant will look really small and then magically the next day or so it will be STANDING strong. Then a Day later it will do the same thing again. Does anybody have any idea what could do this. Thanks!

Sorry, I've got 9 CFL's ranging from 26-42 watt most are the "daylight" ones in the blue spectrum and then a couple of the cool white. I'm using miracle grow Organic choice potting soil. I haven't used any nutrients except these Jobes Nutrient Spikes things but I saw on here they were not good so I haven't used them since. I think i probably water too much, because this is my first grow and I'm always wanting to do something with the plants, I change the lighting setup and shit like everyday. Could it be over watering that makes them droop down like that? I dont have pictures now, But ill try to get some.

We have all had that problem,,, you know,,, the one about always wanting to do something to make things better,, but in time youll come down a little and leave well enough alone,,only water once the soil gets dry, thats usually for me about every 4 to 5 days,, at least,, post some pix when you can and we can maybe help with your set up,, I too started with cfls.....:peace:...............

The hardest part is just to leave them alone ... Let them be , let them do their thing Its a slow process but It'll happen. Water them when they need it ... Good luck

Cool, thanks. Ill definitely post some pictures when I can, I think you guys will like them, if anything they kinda look different than most of the plants I've seen on here, I kept so much of the light on the sides and so close to the plant for so long that it had grown extremely bushy. It looks like a fucking foliage forest.

Alright, I got some pic's. I know my plants are ugly and diseased but give me some feedback. This is my first grow on very low budget, didnt really buy anything but the lights.


-The setup - Everything is pretty ghetto rigged but it reflects light well I think.




-The "Drooper" She usually looks much bigger and better. As you can see in the second picture, Ive got some sort of yellow browning disease and purple stems.





The ugly number 2- This plant is pretty ugly too, leaves keep dying starting at the bottom and they work there way up. It has turned brown on all of the ridges of the leaves, like on the little points.



The Baby- Doesn't get as much light as the rest, so its stretching. I like this plant though, its my little retard baby.
