Leaves drooping too much!

[shaddr3]

All of the plants have been growing quite nicely, ever since a few days ago, they just started drooping. Heres the pics. I dont know whats wrong, the ph level is fine, temperature is fine. IT seems like they started this when I brought the fan in and started using it.

Bigger pots a.s.a.p

[SPLIFFBUILDER]

i don't think they are rootbound,they are only little yet.look's to me like over watering,let them dry out in between watering's....spliffbuilder.

[shaddr3]

They're so dry right now. I water every 3-4 days. I just transplanted the bigger plants into bigger pots already. Give them a few more days, see how they do in the new pots.

[kuri]

i would agree with the getting a bigger pot idea. bigger pot for better pot

[HughESan]

yeah man put them in a bigger pot, people what say over watering makes plants droopie are stupid, trust me...

[kuri]

you can read ALL of our replies and do some research on your own and you'll be able to take others advice with your common sense.... no one is 'stupid' here. we are all trying to help. so shaddr3, hope someone here has helped you.

[Garden Knowm]

something is wrong... for sure..
I would have guessed over watering at first.. I looked closely at the leaves and they look very light.. they should be darker. I don't think they need to be in bigger pots yet.....

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the problem is that the cups are see through and light is getting to your roots and fucking up your shit...
transplant to 1-3 gallon pots immidiatley and pray..

roots and light don't mix

: )

good luck

[Garden Knowm]

what's the deal shaddr.. what happened?

[dylan]

what are you feeding them?

[AtomicToad]

I would have to vote on too much water. Let 'em dry out. The other thing you can do is use H202 (Oxygen Plus) and that helps feed oxygen to the roots...

[Sage of Bud]

Don't use clear or opaque containers for growing as roots are sensitive to light and it inhibits their growth and causes death of root. Looks to me like it's lack of water as well as clear containers could be your prob. Try using containers that do not allow light to reach roots.

[KanMan]

Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 will add oxygen to the water and kill many disease causing organisms and spores and it will drive out the chlorine many cities use to sterilize the water, it will also degrade any pesticides or herbicides, but it also kills the good organisms. It is also useful for suppressing algae growth. It will destroy dead organic material (leaves, roots) preventing them from rotting and spreading diseases. Again it does kill the good organisms as well as the bad.

CO2 poisoning can cause the plants to droop as well. If you use a CO2 injector or generator lower the CO2 levels and turn the CO2 off during the night cycle.

leave are turning alot lighter than they should be, even having some burnt spots on thee ends of the leaves!? ph is 6.7 to 7.0
temp is avg 78,, lights are compact flours about 5 inches from tops
food is prueblend 7ml per gallon . just recently put a fan in there?

That high of a PH will lockout some nutrients. Could be why the leafs are getting a lighter color to them. Get the light closer as well.

[fckinhell]

ph to high 4 def,, 5.8/6.2 max

[fckinhell]

i keep mine at 6.0

[fasts102376]

hello all:-) i'm new to this site. i have two plants in flowering,my problem is i have to water my plants like every 2days.. i don't water intill the soil is dry dry is that to much? the humidity stays around 30% to 60% will that hurt in flowering stage? i'm in soil with a 400hps. :confused:

[fasts102376]

opps i thought i made my own post..

[fasts102376]

how do u post pic?

[planesane]

what are you watering with. they probley need nutes or calmag if you are using distilled water or reverse osmosis. 1tsp calmag and 1 teaspoon ff grow big per gallon should help

[planesane]

your ph is not too high if your are watering at 6.7 ph or even 6.8 when it runs off its still within spec but try not to go over 7 thats a bit high,

[planesane]

also maybe a flush would help with a 20% nute solution remember 3x the container is the amount to run through

[fubarr]

looks like it's being eatin alive in one of the pictures, not sure if that can/would cause the drooping but mines doing the same,i think its the new soil i found/got out of a rotting tree as an experiment, are you using dirt from outside or have many/any bugs or flies around your plants at all?


oh and definitly use new cups that is probably whats wrong with it the roots wont grow around the sides becuase of the light, and if they are growing around the sides then there dying dead roots

[MRDiff]

Why are you trying to assist this guy? This thread is five years old.

[GetThisOrDie]

good lord never seen so many different suggestions....

People are giving all these suggestions and didnt even ask you to fill out a troubleshooting form. It would be much easier to diagnose a problem when the troubleshooting form is filled out completely.

One thing I can tell you without seeing the troubleshooting form is that was not caused by adding a fan unless it is realllly hot in the cab and the fan is blowing hot air on them but 78F isnt too hot.


And BTW over watering will give you droopy leaves unlike what other people say.

[avahda]

Well, today outside i found a plant with about7-8 big leaves on it,7 or 8 inches high, growing near my pool, dont ask how we didnt notice it but anyway, moved it to a pot, had soil in it so made way for the plant, dug it up, and thought i put it in the pot fine, but the leaves began to droop and canoe and stem began to fall over. We were moving it for obvious reasons and now i dont know what to do, wouldve been cool to NOT kill it. Its still in the pot, looks bad.

[The7who89]

im having the same problem rite now. she's entering the flowering stage. just last night they were up towards the light and now their drooping but still normal color. i think i might flush and use revive and sensizym from advancenutrients. well see how it goes hope it works.

[The7who89]

ms. bubba kush is back to normal now.

[killeroxx]

OK. I'd hate to be the one to say it but a lot of you fools are just makeing urself look dumb and for the rest that talk like you know what ur talking about please listen up for 1 when u start to think u know everything u stop learning and 2 the first thing that I noticed were the leafs curling which cased them to look droopy...why were they curling u ask? Well he did state he just put a fan in there but besides that the curling u see is just from the heat and stale air it curls like that to preserve moisture under the leaves where the stomatas are located which enables it to breath now I'm not gunna school y'all totally on this so why don't All u guys who thought differently look it up and read up on wut u thought u knew u will see that that was the probably and to clear a bit other things up thinking it was to much water is totally cool guys but the curling all around is the main give away that there was not good airmovement hence he stated he just put a fan in and yes transfer once those roots see the light it haults everything and its downhill from there....sorry if I pissed off some of you but I hate seeing all this wrong advice being Given out and not once did anyone have it right really hopefully ill read some sense on this site but Looks to me like there's not to many that I've seen on here so far that really know wut they doing check me out on rollitup.org same user check my journals trust me I've been there seen this type of stuff before: ) later

Roooooootbound!

Bigger pots a.s.a.p
Ummm no and ur one of the thousands that look like an idiot blurring out first thing thy comes to mind lol enter even know where u got rootbound from lol what are the symptoms for it bud I'd like to know thanks:)

[killeroxx]

i would agree with the getting a bigger pot idea. bigger pot for better pot

Really? Is that how it works?

[killeroxx]

yeah man put them in a bigger pot, people what say over watering makes plants droopie are stupid, trust me...
No I dont think I will trust ya on this one dumb ass lol its funny ur calling people who are atleast somewhat right "depending on the problem" stupid when really in retrospect ur the stupid one lol wow funny how that just falls onto place like that. ...huh

[killeroxx]

OK you totally just disagreed. With itself sorry but nice try tho really; )

Kinda hard to trust bad information. Yes, overwatering can and will make the plants droop as their roots are being smothered. Yellowing comes when uptake of nutrients is interrupted. And I doubt it's a good idea to call anyone esle stupid, when you are giving bad info yourself. :wtf:


ph to high 4 def,, 5.8/6.2 max
If in a peat-based soil, a ph of between 6.3 and 6.8 is best. Go under or over that range, and nutrients will start getting locked out.

Are there drainage holes in the cups?
Have you tried to feed them anything? (too young to feed them ANYTHING but properly ph'd water)
How are you testing runoff ph? (is the soil buffered?)
How are the night time temps?
What kind of lights, and how far from the tops is the light?

My vote is for overwatering and a ph issue. Perhaps a lighting issue, too. (it's not always just one issue at a time...) But since there is no troubleshooting form filled out, this guessing game can go on for months. But the plants might not make it that long...

Copy-n-paste the troubleshooting form here, and fill it out as best as you can.
