What are my leaves doing?

[cwesto]

Ok my leaves seem to be drooping a little, they are drooping mostly throughout the whole leafe, some more faurther to the end of the leaf than others. Some leaves also seem to be curling under on the sides too. The leafs seem sort delicate and limp, they are still a nice green tho.

What is causing this?? My thoughts may be they are getting to dry between waterings. Any advice from the gro masters out there? Thanks in advance for any advice or replys :thumbsup:

PS Sory i dont have any pics, shitty camerca that doesnt focus well at all at close range. If u want some non close up pics tho u can check out my log in my signature, it has pics from yesterday.

I would say that you definately need to keep it watered, drooping leaves is a genuine sign of being dry (sagging and dryness are two things we never want with our girls... lol). Another problem could be that it is root bound. This can cause them to sag as well.

Yea my friend said the same thing. The only reaso i dont think that is, is that they have been in these 2 gal pots (i think they are 2 gallon) for only about 2 weeks and they arent even that large yet. Also all i am using fert wise is GrowBig, 2 tsp/gal. Thanks jon for ur advice tho very much:thumbsup:

maby nute burn, had some similar problems

[cwesto]

hmmmmm, u think 2 tsp/ gal growbig could burn a plant??

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

how old are they?

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

ok, im thinkin its the nitrogen, your nutes are 6/4/4 , nitrogen/phosphorus/potassium and if your plants are young i think that could be it,

but if somone else could confirm this

"Plants that get too much nitrogen have alot of foliage (leaf) growth but are not strong. Plants that are not strong can get diseases more easily"

jimmybones, they're 3 weeks out of the soil, and I have only used 2tsp/gal for the first and only time last week, they went the first 2 weeks with no nutes in the water. I checked the soil under my top layer of hydroton (used to retain moisture and reduce soil displacement during watering), and the siold was pretty dry. Im thinking waterings might have to be more like 2 watering every week and a half, instead of the 1 watering per week that I have been doing.

Im not saying that too much N wouldnt do that, from the website u gave it looks like thats exactly what happend. I just dont see were the excess N could have came from. Also my stems are very thick for thier IMO, while the website related too much N to weak stems.

Water well with plain water. Sounds like N overdose combined with underwatering. 1 watering per week is not enough.
