Plant looks tired, possible stress? pics inside
Hey guys,
I'm new to the community, started growing about a month ago :P
Anyways, I'm having problems with my older plant, it's a northern lights femenized autoflowering and almost a month old. I watered it 3 days ago with 2 ml Bio-Grow, and it looked strong,
but now for some unknown reason it started to look tired and I thought I'd ask you guys what do you think. Here are some pics:

the pot has draining holes, and the soil is wet - I checked it this morning. my temp runs usually between 77-85 F..
Is there anything I should do? Is it normal?
I'm afraid he'll die or something...
Thanks

Well if it's a he. he'd be better off dead anyway, cuz he ain't gonna getcha very high! Having said that, you need to give us much more info before we start guessing what's wrong...copy and paste, and fill out the sticky at the beginning of this section of the forum (plant problems). We may not need all the info on it, but we need more than you have given us here. Fill out what you know, and leave blank what you don't. We will help you to the best of our ability.
Offhand I would say over-watering, underfeeding and keep temps under about 82 if possible. 78 is ideal.

I agree with tank.
However, over watering is more of a symptom than a cause.
Almost any problem slows growth and that slows transpiration.
If a plant that size stays wet for several days there is something wrong.
A healthy, well lit, plant will use water rapidly.
When it suddenly stops "drinking", it's time to find out why, yah?
Suggest that you obtain a 100x variable microscope.
They run about $10 at da shack.
Examine the apical meristem, (growing tip), thoroughly.
Snip off a lower fan leaf and examine the underside, near the veins.
The borg are easy to find.
So are most root aphids.
But the most recent crop killer has been Broad mites.
Early symptoms are leaf clawing and low transpiration.
They can only be seen under high magnification and even then, it's not easy.
If you find mites, examine the eggs.
BM eggs are "bumpy" they have many, well defines, knobs on their surface.
There are a lot of different kinds of mites.
Some helpful, some nasty.
Broad mites are the worst kind of nasty, IMO.
Let us know what you find and we'll be happy to offer solutions.
Aloha,
