    Droopy - Over/Under/Root Bound?

    I did not think that you were being anal, no worries. I appreciate the tip and concern. While I want the plants to thrive and grow well, they are definitely not worth losing my home over.

    Plants has yet to perk up much. She (hopefully ) was watered 4 hours ago or so. Will keep watching for now.

    My vote still goes for giving them half-strength nutes. Won't kill 'em, but will give an indication pro or con.
    If runoff is 6.6, what's the ingoing water ph? Most nutes bring that number down further.

    For starters, I'm pretty sure starting your own thread would be a great idea.
    But before you do that, I would transplant into a larger pot with proper drainage, and fill out the troubleshooting form as completely as possible. :thumbsup:

    Droopy - Over/Under/Root Bound?

    It seems to go up just a bit. My tap water after using ph down is (or at least I try to get) 6.4. But usually between there and 6.8.

    I will try a small does of nutes next time I water in a day or so (depending on soil). I just hope it does not die before I get to do it. Still pretty wilted/droopy.

    Droopy - Over/Under/Root Bound?

    Forgot to mention that the other one that was droopy yesterday (one I did not water today) is perking up even more. This of course would lead me to believe that it was over watering to begin with. Figure watering one and not the other should give me the answer and only hurt one of them. This is also why I am worried about the other one now as it just got a another watering, its probably gonna drown.

    If worried, you can place the one(s) you just watered closest to the fans.

    I agree, about trying half-strength nutes, at first ... I've used Black Gold soil, real popular with the growers up here, it's good stuff :thumbsup: ... but, tends to be pretty 'rich', you're not likely to need a lot of ferts with it ... good growing :smokin:
