Little curly bushy plants need a little help :)

[jessejames12345]

Hi everyone .

Here are my little ladies. Just now 5 days into 12/12 and for the past few days they've started to get really curly in the leaves and limp.



Im a first time grower , and want to do all I can to let these little bushes reach their full potential.

Thanks !

Things look a bit better today . I cut a new intake hole last night in the wall near the plants. There is no dedicated fan there yet, but I could tell the temps were lower this morning , and the air felt 'fresher'

Any sugestions on getting them to space out a bit between nodes. On one of the plants , I can count at least 5 nodes in 3 inches of growth, and all of those nodes are starting secondary growth now...its like a rats nest in there

What's your water source? Is it tap water, or something purified like distilled/reverse osmosis water?

[jessejames12345]

its just local tap water . PH reads 'about' 7 ... I need a more acurate PH meter :wtf:

LOL... you and me both, brother!

Glad your babies are feeling better, though. As for encouraging stretching in veg, you could try raising the lights a bit... but I wouldn't bother with it if I were you. I'm assuming you'll be initiating flowering using your HPS, and if so, you should get plenty of stretch in the first week. Adding a slightly higher ratio of Nitrogen to Phosphorus-Potassium will also encourage extra foliage growth, and should help with that yellowing, if you're still experiencing it. Besides that, you're doing a good job training them and keeping the canopy fairly even.

Keep it up, I wish ya all the best! :thumbsup:
