Wilting?!

My leaves are drooping! What the HELL?!

I haven't watered in 2 days, so i KNOW it is not over/underwatering; the soil moisture is perfect. Day 4 of 12/12. Oh man is this aggravating. Temps dipped down to 50 last night. They have been down to 55 before. So that shouldn't have been too big of a deal....could that have been it though?

Otherwise things have been constant; no other changes in the regimen.

I know they don't "look that bad" but this is the FIRST time in their lives that they have done something like this, it was a TOTAL surprise when I opened the door today. :mad:

Norkali....I don't know much about cold temps and plants.....never had the issue so don't really know what it would look like.

I'm having ALOT of trouble getting a good idea of how your plants look with that HPS light yellowing and mylar reflection in the photo. I'm NOT a soil grower so a better photo may not help....but I can't really even see the leaves very well in that pic. Any chance we could get a better one?

And what is the ph of your water and soil runoff?

pH is always balanced to 6.3-6.4, dolomite lime in soil help to raise the pH just a *little* bit to where the runoff is always a pretty 6.5.

My avatar is of one of my first runoff's actually. I don't get it!

i'm sorry...you got me. You need someone who actually grows in soil to help. Obviously your room temps are good...did this happen when your humidity went up?

Might have really upset the bitch, when it went down to 55. 55 degrees Right? I would think the plant puts itself in some sort of defense to keep the vitals going.

When it gets that cold, everything moves so much slower in the cold, as to the hot. Just think about it. Like starting your car in the morning with Too thick of oil, during winter time. Takes awhile to warm up.

I am high so I dont know if this makes sense lol. I guess what I am trying to say is, Don't Let it get that cold at night! its pissing it off lol.

Ya know what, I went and check the soil again in a couple of different spots...a little dry actually. they're on schedule for 100% h2o feeding, so let's hope this does the trick. Updates tomorrow morning.

hope its only that...;) Easily solved. :)

AHHH! :o I feel like a douchebag! They were just thirsty. Today they look happy as hell.

WOW, soil can dry up fast in the winter. I went from 4-5 days between watering to 1-2. Sorry for the panic!

douchebag, lol. :D

You gotta keep temps up in the 60s at night; cold wet soil does not make a happy plant.

But seriously, look at you with your pots all lifted up on racks over the sexy leopard-print rug. Those racks are EXCELLENT. Just a FYI, anyone who uses grow bags benefits HUGE from something like that IMHO. Yay, freely-draining media!!! And they are beneficial to us pot growers too, lol.

Everybody loves my leopard-print :D......lol. I've been trying to dial-in my temps., it's been interesting with this back-and-forth weather though. Nice one day, freezing the next. Should be better now though, I've gotten a bit of a better hand on it. *Last night's low was 62.4°* :)

Yeah, the racks are wonderful! I am SO glad that I thought to do that.

To anybody wondering why the elevated racks are so good:

• Like Stinky said: free-flow drainage!
• I can catch all runoff from below the buckets easily to test pH.
• The ground isn't able leech heat from the buckets (Like when you sleep on the ground camping!)
• the racks give me a place to tie my tie-downs to! Perfect for my LST.
