how often do you water? does the soil totally dry out before each watering? the light will be fine as long as ur area's temperature doesnt get too hot bout 80degrees F

its a 2ft sativa in a 5 gal bucket. I was giving it a pint of water every 2 or 3 days. I havent watered it in about 10 days. the soil was not drying out. and the temp is 80
It is still standing but the fan leafs are drooping, but not falling off. and it still has good color, no brown leafs.

wot is ur drainage like?it could be that the water is just collecting at the bottom of ur bucket unless u added drainage holes

I'm guessing you're using 100%soil? You might have to change your soil mix,I suggest you transplant, using a soil and perlite mix,2 to 1 ratio....bonbon

you are a little too far along for a repot,but you can use an additive(oxygen-plus)to your root system,to help the displaced oxygen return to the root zone,you can pierce the surface of the soil down to the bottom several times too with a long thin skewer to add some air....bonbon

Cool...I see what you are saying but she is just about gone now...I put the drain holes in and tried to flush Cuz I thought it was a over-fertilization problem...Didn't work threw her in the closet and let her go for self..She's still standing..so I was thinking of dissecting her to check how well her roots grew...BUt I understand what you are saying about the pipes...Thanks for the info....Got seven new babies two weeks old and sprouts poppin' everyday...Holla bonbon!!!
