Hey this is my first grow, and i'm kinda learning as i go along. This isn't my first forum, so i know the whole search search search thing. I'm guessing its nitrogen deficiency? i put some of the fertilizer in after the flush but it hasnt really been getting any better i feel like. Its in a clear plastic container about 20"X15"X15", which i put duct tape around it 2 days ago because i was seeing roots and i read that roots and light dont mix well (is that possibly why it started drooping?) TIA

hi do you have a pic??? well my grow bible says drooping leaves =overwatering. let dry-out if you suspect you have over-nuted them cut your nutes in half and build back up. GL :thumbsup:

You got drainage in there?
Looks WAY overwatered in poorly draining soil.
Add lots of drain holes.
Also a good pot is deeper than that, both to use space efficiently and to let the roots go deep.
Adding ferts when the roots are suffocating won't help. They need oxygen!
Also they are too deep in the container. Do you have something else to put them in, like a pot or even a milk jug with the bottom cut full of nice big holes and covered with duct tape?

Alright i think im gonna transplant it today...my only question is how do i get it out of the square container when the roots are all across the bottom? i put some new soil in the top like 6 inches a while ago and the bottom soil was reallly compact and the roots were everywhere so i didnt go any deeper. Should i just try to reach around it all and pick it up, or is there a more efficient way?

[stinkyattic]

Wait- you put 6 inches of new soil in after the plant was already in there? No good, man! Cannabis doesn't like to root from its stem like tomatoes! You have so many issues I'd almost suggest it better to start fresh, after reading the tutorial in my siggy or a comparable one.

Hey kevin7kevin7 :thumbsup:

I personally would listen to what stinkyattic has to say.

But if you need to transplant please do it into a pot that has some drainage.
Also just soil the root system, "as mentioned B4ME"

GOOD LUCK

haha i put the new soil in like over a week ago just to see if that would raise the ph at all. but i transplanted it today into a new 3+ gallon circular pot with some whitney farms soil, almost a whole bag of perlite, some dolomite lime, and some bat guano. See how she handles it i guess otherwise its back to square one haha
