Hi
This is my lady having some problem. I am at my first grow, 17th day of flowering. That is some afghani strain. The problem is the lower lives hanging down, curled and not happy anyway. The top of the plant look ok.
The pistils are forming the flowers now. The four top allready looks like the colas, so it seems to be heavy yielder.

Drooping leaves makes me think you're overwatering a bit...

That's my thought, I'm sure there's more

My though might be an underwatering. I grow i nsoillex mix and let it be dry before water again. I flush every week now and fertilize heavy with bat guano tee and organic bloom fertilizer. I miight be over fert. But I thought it was hard to do so with organic ferts.
Anyway another, somewhat, month and all problem will go away.

over fert definitely ...

[artursz2]

now what then??:wtf:
thanks for replying.

REduce the amount of fert you give them in the future, and for now, just give plain water.
Also, if you do not have a fan blowing air around, add one. The low leaves seem to be showing signs that they do not have enough fresh air.

there is one fan blowing on the top of the plant. Should I set it a little bit lower?
Will that situation slow flowering or smth?

The first time I grew that happened to me too. The lower leaves start to lose light because the top of the plant is covering the bottom. It does look like you are overwatering a little because of the leathery type of feel of the leaves so you may want to cut back three or four ounces and add a little catalyst - kelp meal - molasses - humic acid. You can add supplemental lighting to the bottom portion on the sides of the room. I suggest fluorescent tubes or if you like CFLs those are good too but they get hot very quickly - almost as quickly as you turn them on. No worries.

Your plants look awesome and you need to start implementing phosphorus to get ready to flower. Cut back little by little on the nitro. You are good to go dude! Looks beautiful! You are going to have some dank girls! :thumbsup:

I noticed something else too - it looks like you might have a little pest problem which could get worse. It's not like kitties munching on the leaves either. It looks like something is eating the leaves. You could get ladybugs at an organic nursery or get them from outside. That should take care of the little nasties you cannot see. If you are using soil, you may want to try a soiless mix next time around to reduce the pests. If you are using fish fert then you may want to try something else and use the fishy for outside. I am not too good with pests but that is my best advice. You could also add some mint plants in your grow room to give them something else to munch on.
