Completely Limp Leaf

Yes. Read the link in my sig. Then read it again.
Your 120 watt light- is it an incandescent?
What is your water source, and are you giving fertilizer?

stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on 05-02-2008. Completely Limp Leaf Well I went to check on my plant to find one of the leafs on the second node has gone completely limp. My plant is 11cm tall and working on its 3rd node. The rest of the plant is totally fine, just this one leaf has gone totally limp. Its just hanging with no life left. I think the problem is over watering because my plant is also growing really really slow. Any comments? Its under a 120 watt agro lite and its about a ft under it. Do u think this will happen to the rest of the leaves? Rating: 5

from whats given it sounds as if the light is to far away, resulting in the plant "stretching" to obtain more light

how much heat does that bulb put off? if minimal then keep the light 2-5 inches away the closer the better - if that agro lite is a fluorescent , if it is not a fluoro then let someone more experienced solve your problem as it could be circulation or other issues causing it :jointsmile::jointsmile:

This one? Lose it. It's useless. Use flourescents.

I merged these threads because if this is the bulb you are using, it's teh same problem- crappy light bulb, no penetration, no light to low leaves, stretch.
Bend the tall plants over sideways and tie them down, and switch to flouros. Read the link in my sig if you haven't yet.
