Hi i got a plant that is drooping and im tryn to figure out why. I transplanted about four weeks ago n i think i mite have gotten some bad soil, fungas gnats got to my plants i believe from the soil but i have that under control so i kno thats not why there droping, it went into shock after the transplant for about fove days then recovered and was doing fine, then about three weeks later ot started drooping again. It was about 17" so i decided to start flowering, now it droops mainly wen my 150hps is on and perks back up during its dark period, ive been using a peroxide water mix to kill grubs. Maybe thats it? Idk anyone think they could help me out? Im already 75 days in and thatd suck if it was a waste but its saveable

You should read up on fungas gnat. I read up and it has something to do with the hydrogen/carbon bond or w/e and it in time releases more oxygen to the roots. Idk how to explain it but look it up it also kills the fungas gnat grubs. It wouldnt be the peroxide cuz i have two plants and ive done the same for both and only one is fuckn up, it my second time grown but its been a little bit sonce my last grow

Mine do the exact same thing , come the end of the light session there droopy turn the light off and they pick up again 3 hours later !! i've been trying to find this problem out for two weeks now , But no one seems to know whats wrong and it seem's like a common problem! and the other prob ive got is the tips pointing down and hooking , do you have that prob??
Here is pics b4 light goes of and one just b4 light goes on ![attachment=o264669]

As a matter of fact yes! And i have two plants and only one is fucking up, the other one is nice and perked up 24/7 with no curling leaves or anything, but ya 75 days n i kno these wont be anything close to professional theyre more like experimental plants inna way. The plant seems to be drooping more then normal rite now which is kinda odd ill work on some pictures. One thing i did do that probly fucked the nutrients up was i used reg soil during vegg an transplanted into organic soil. Also The leaves are not turning yellow and falling off theyre staying green and holdin up fine

get ur self a soil testing kit it dose N, P, K, PH check all might be low on p,k but if all is ok and still growing well i wouldn't worry to much mine droop now and then but still growing nicely it will droop once a day for about an hour then back up till next day or even day after......also make sure you not over doing it with water and use boiled then cooled water for best results ....:thumbsup:

Oo ok i gotcha ive been meaning to get a testin kit for a while i just havent tried finding where to buy one. U kno any places i could pick a good one up? Good looks on the watering advice aswell that should help me out. Also theres a such thimg as bad soil rite? Caus ive done the same for both plants and the soil from the one messing up seems lke it has a lot less organic nutrients then the other one, idk how to explain it but it looks like some bad soil

not too sure but peroxide is not suppsed to be used all the time, it kills all the benificals and fungies living in the buckets. also only pure food grade peroxid is to be used and its cheeper. 10 bucks for a liter of 35% peroxiode . found at any hydro store..
also just an obeservation but I have seen this happen with toxic off gassing too. such as with plants next to swmming pools full of chlorine, or also in new rooms with toxic chemicasl still in the air such as adhesives or paint thinners.

Ya i used the peroxide for about a two weeks or so n just about all the grubs r dead n there rnt anymore gnats flyn around. So the bugs are gone and i think i found the problem, i dont think the soil is holding moisture as well caus i watered it and it perked back up so i think im fine n got it under control now, also i put blackberrys and strawberry in the soil for some good tastin buds so they should be good

I just read on another forum that the reason why they droop in flower is because their putting all their energy into making the buds..
So when its lights out they take a rest & the leaves will perk back up when the plant is using less energy kinda makes sense if you dont think about it..lol
