plant problems

[dreadydrug]

also, how do i stop it being droopy, it's only a little droopy & it's ALWAYS been droopy, but how do i stop it?

Droopy is ok when the light are off or dim. Your plant should be less droopy when the lights are on, if it always looks like the same amount of droopyness then write back.

i'm writting back
i dunno, the tip of the leaf is just about 45degrees i only water once every 3 or 4 days cos it takes a while to dry out. i thought that was the problem but it doesn't stand to attention when i do water it!?!?!?!? im confused

[Herbus]

Tuff question really can you provide a photo? Some droppyness is normal when in low light conditions. What kind of lights are you using and how close are they to the plants? What is your photo period?

i could get a photo, but not today because i need to borrow a digi cam. i've got a 250W MH & it's perhaps a little too close to the light at the moment, i'm moving it to a larger space by tomorrow. i re-potted today & when i did it i mixed a little rooting powder in some water & sprayed the roots before i potted it (do you think it was a good idea?) i'll try to get a picture on tmrw aswel,

thankyou plz.

[dreadydrug]

oh yeah, & what do you mean by photo period, how long until i can get one?

[Herbus]

Photo period - however long you are leaving lights on on the room. Are you leaving it on 16 hours or 24 hours or whatever. If your plants are drooping while your light is on then alot of times this is overwatering. A picture would be great. I don't think the rooting powder will not hurt so long as you did not disturb the roots. I will wait to see the picture before I say anything else.

Have fun,

it's on 18/6, sorry i didn't get the pictures today, but i had trouble borrowing a camera. no i didn't disturb the roots (damage any if thats what you mean.)
i moved into my attic today, finally, i had problems with plumbing & electrics, so i had to wait until the electronic, etc had come in before i could re-locate. i have a regular fan on 24/7 (i'll show in the pics) do you think that will....... well ....fuck up?

hey, if your plants are in 18/6 then they droop sometimes towards the end of this period, if they are drooping constantly its probably overwatering but you need some pics. leave the soil to dry out and flush the plant, then instead of spending money on bottle water, distill your water by boiling it to get out ions. your light is only too close if leaf tips are curling up

[dreadydrug]

not curling up, they're burning
