ive been leef feeding my plant with filtered water and fairly diluted fish emulsion for many weeks now even during recent flowering, all seems to be going ok, does anybody else spray there flowers at this stage in pic below and whilst it is budding...... should i stop? or just spray the leaves? my only concern is bad bud growth and the water sitting in the top of the flower for long periods of time and may cause rotting?....... or am i just panicking............ ill shut up now someone please give me wisdom on this query...

I don't foliar feed during flower. I try to keep the humidity down as to encourage resin production.

Maybe water that (or flush) - or lower the heat, my friend - it's wilting.

P.S. I sprayed mine with soda water (for CO²) after watching some vid. (not good) It looks like to me they need water to the roots - be gentle.

That wilting looks like over water. The leaves look heavy (weight). Would be keen to see the rest of the plant(s)

by request here is the rest of the plant, i work during the day so i cannot move the plant around and if i put it on the verandah to get more/longer sun it will surely attract all sorts of bugs or more possible get pinched..... i dont want that

the first pic is the side that got less sun today
the second pic is the side that facing the sun today
the third is the top half of one of the lower branches
the forth is just another flow shot...

Spirit level - could be right on this one.

If you push your finger into the soil, how wet is it?
Actualy the plant looks better (in the big picture) - and some nice blooms going on there too!

The best of luck - Hall

I had leaves look like that just before nute burn when I did a mini hydro. You keep it outside? I reckon it's quite humid where you are. Those chubby leaves look like they're transpiring a lot of water. You don't have to water your plant daily. If it isn't drawing up more than say 60% of the moisture in the soil then you should miss a day. Those leaves should be a little more erect than that. Flush and leave 24-48hrs I would. Then go back to bloom feed and water 700mL-1L.

Generally the leaves will point up towards the light if theres a heat issue. Although sometimes they do droop. :d

that is the best disclaimer I have ever read. Paranoid people

Don't give up!! Employ patience at once. If you want the expert advice from fellow growers then reveal all so the masses can put their/our heads together and turn ur suck ass grow area into a kick ass grow area. Don't be disheartened by a failed crop, I've had numerous failures over the years; some of which have been very expensive lessons, while others have just been lessons. The key is to make the sucesses outweigh the unsuccesses. It rewards a great deal of self satifaction and energy to go again.

If a task has once begun,
Never leave it until it is done.

Do it well or not at all.
