Trainwreck Droopy Leaves?

[bigtopsfinn]

I am a new grower and this Trainwreck from Greenhouse Seeds is just over 3 weeks old now (After more reading on this site I realize that this strain and these seeds may have been a mistake, but...)

I'm using a 400 watt hps, 20/4 light cycle, and half strength nutrients as of now, plenty of ventilation and temps between 23 and 29 C (73-84 F). Perhaps I am an over-concerned parent, but the leaves are a little droopy, don't you think?

Any comments are much appreciated! Thanks for looking...

:weedpoke: (This is me)

The shape looks droopy, but do they FEEL perky?
The plant looks good, maybe a little too muhc nitrogen in its diet, but good. What brand and type of ferts you running there?

[bigtopsfinn]

The nutes are called Terra Vega by CANNA, NPK 3-1-4. Ordered from a Dutch online shop. As for the perkiness, I would say it feels solid but the leaves have been curving down since the beginning. I think I may have been over-watering...

I use the same nutes and they work well. Honestly if the FEEL is sturdy, it's likely that you have excellent light reflection inside the gorw chamber and the plant is not getting strictly directional light, which would cause all the leaves to be held flat in a single plane. I bet if you covered the low parts of the walls with dark cloth they would turn to the actual light (no reason to do that though lol!).

I actually do have a very small cabinet with white walls, should be just big enough for this one plant.

Thanks for the help Stinky!
