I got a question, Why are my leafs so droopy?
And is it bad?
It's 6 days in to 12/12.
Today I fed her a half a teaspoon of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom/half gallon of water.
And I cutt some of the big fan leafs off, And took a clone clipping.
So is she just probly a little stessed?
I thought I might of over fertalized, So I flushed her before I shut the lights out for the night.
Too much water can make her droop as well as not enough. Just keep an eye on it and let it dry up a little. Stress can be part of it. for more info pic's or fill out the plant problem form.
Have you looked at the Fox Farms nutrient schedule? Gives a weekly breakdown on what and how much and when to add the nutes.

For one, you should never cut off fan leaves, especially in flower. The big fan leaves are like solar panels that generate the most photosynthesis to make your buds grow. Second, its not recommended to cut clones from a plant in flower. Third, without pictures or more detailed info, its hard to say what the problem is because a lot of different problems will cause the leaves to droop.
Thanks for the fox farms schedual.
I think it was to much fertz, She seams to be doing alott better today her leafs are all perked up, Sence I flushed her.
So clones from a plant in flower wont grow, Because the clone clipping I took just drooped over...
Taking clones from a flowering lady take longer to root, and is more difficult than cuttings from vegging ladies.
First, the difference in lighting schedule and light spectrum put it in shock.
Second, it has to revert back to a vegetative state.
Third, it needs to still have enough energy left to produce roots.
Use rooting hormone, following directions.
Keep it in a humidity dome, (or cover with plastic baggie to keep it real humid) but open to fresh air every once in a while.
Mist the cover or dome with properly ph'd water, Don't mist the cutting. (mold possibility, plant respiration problems)
1 - 23w CFL at 6 -7 inches. (minimal light till rooted)
No nutes or additives till well rooted.
Keep your fingers crossed, but take 'em while in veg next time, lol.
Do you know how to go about making a decent humidity dome, Every tutorial I have saw, And what I was reading out of a high time mag.
Basically said to just cutt it, Use the hormone, And stick it 4 inches in the soil. I don't think the clone I took will even come back to life, Its just like laying over on the ground.
Why would you cut off all the fan leaves of your plant. Not to mention that they are one the most light absorbing leaves, they help the plant to flower during 12/12. Aso, you cannot take a clone from a 12/12 flowering plant, and yes, you could stress you plant out. Don't fuck with your plant, it'll be time to harvest soon enough. :jointsmile: Also, make sure you use a double shot of Superthrive during your second week of 12/12. For me, seems to grow much better and before you may want to pot flush and ph balance. The leave drooping could be from a wide range of things, since you like to abuse you plants. Over watering or under watering, light deffiency income,..., so many things to incorporate.:rastasmoke:
You can pick up a tray and dome at almost any garden shop or box lumber store this time of year, if you only have a few clones take a large baggie and put it over the plant and rubberband the baggie edges around the top of your pot/cup,etc. Let some air in it a few times a day if you can. You can clone after 12-12 starts, it just takes forever and its a 60-40 50-50% survival rate in my experience.Double shot of superthrive seams like alot but I dont like the stuff so I dont use it.I follow alot of rustys advice and am very please with the results need 50 posts to show photos or I would be showing off right now.
Good luck with your project.
I dont abuse them lol.
Shes looking good (Yes its confirmed a she)
So I'm going to call her little berta.
For just a little over a weak in flowering, The white hairs are popping out everywhere, I can see a little what looks to be thc on the leafs,
How long till I start seeing buds?
Do you know of a guide to make a little humidity dome, Im kinda straped on cash cause I need to buy some more fertz.
