why is this soil plant droopy
Try and find a Hydroshop near you, they have a couple things that you will need.
1) pH down
2) pH Up
The ones that i use are from General Hydroponics. Keep in mind you will want your soil run-off water to be around 6.5 - 6.8. So you will want to flush your plants with some pH adjusted water. To break it down for you even more, you will want to make about 5 gallons of tap water that is pH adjusted to 6.4 and then pour that thru your soil. Test your soil after you have pushed some of the water thru the soil. When you reach the desired pH you will then put your plant back under the light. DO NOT USE NUTES!!! (trust me on this, you will en up putting your plant in what is called "Lockout" and that is harder to come out of than you would think and will take a LONG time, if you want to see a lockout plant, check out my grow log, my plants in the beginning were in lockout). While your plant is out from under the light, you could light mist your plant with water only (not mandatory, the water should be just about dried before you put it back under the light). In about 24 hours you will see that your plant has perked up a little bit and as time progresses you will see more improvement.
Hope that was enough detail, good luck with your grow.whatsthatsmell Reviewed by whatsthatsmell on . why is this soil plant droopy using a soil mix organic blend with peat(1cu), and perlite(small bag) all plants are fed the same with a GH3 @ 1/4 stregnth everyother feed after leaves started to yellow(water, feed, water, feed)every 3rd day the sl has always been droopy and the 2 sk have not a week just got a cheap soil ph meter and ph was about 7.5 3 days ago i bought a iron + soil acidifier(directions say use 2/3 cup to large bush to correct from a ph of 8 to 6.5) Rating: 5
