This is my first grow I'm using 4 120w equivalent 2700k CFLs. A couple of my plants are looking droopy. I was wondering if it could be from the fan constantly blowing straight down on them. Any other ideas. Also if you could give an opinion on how they're doing overall it would be appreciated greatly.

Have a good grow!:jointsmile:

dont have your fans pointing directly on your plants. the plants dont need air directly. There just needs to be circulation in your growing area to prevent mold and such. Do you have an exhaust fan also?

No I dont have an exhaust fan. I changed the setup so the fan blows in the top on one end the comes out the other side. I did move my fan a little to so they're not getting direct wind

dump the foil ... paint with FLAT white paint ... (I'll never use Mylar again, impossible to keep clean, and becomes dull with age, plus $$$) ... flat white reflects light nearly as well, anyway :jointsmile:

are you watering your plants too much? they bog like this when watered too much sometimes. Or they cold be hyper-sensitive to the fert, check the norm... the amt of water and the pH before going anywhere else.

or not enough drainage *** (retaining tooo much water when being watered)
