22 days into flower, need help

[BCBUDS]

Does anyone know what could be the cause of the droopiness/curling of the leaves on this plant? theres plenty of lights in the closet (100watts hps + 100 watts fluoro) and im using biogrow/biobloom liquid organic fertilizers.

There's quite a lot of crystals developping and everything else seems healthy...ive waited about 2-3 days between waterings and the temperature is fluxuating between 75-85F. also ive rececently flushed them until the water came through clear...i might have some drainage issues too, i didnt have money to buy pots so i used plastic bags with holes in the bottom but there isnt enough room for a drain tray...any help would be greatly appreciated.

ps: they are quite close to the hps lights (70W and 30W) so they might be too hot, but is that a good thing? if they are hot and dry wont they produce mad crystals?

Sativas can use a lot of light you may need more lumens. The main cause of droopiness is not allowing the soil to dry enough

thanks, I think the top of the soil might be drying out while the bottom soil might have drainage issues... I will try to cut more holes in the bags they are in and make sure the soil gets properly drained next time i water(Ill wait an extra day before next watering) As for lumens, Im operating under 2 sq ft and I have at least 14K lumens(7K per square foot) which should be sufficient regardless of indy/sativa)

It is also interesting to note that both of my plants come from the same set of seeds(same genotype) and were grown under very similar conditions. They developped very different phenotypes however, so they must be from an unstable gene pool...

Any thoughts on final yield? Im thinking that ill get about a half ounce of prime buds, half ounce mediocre buds and lots of cannabutter :smokin: :thumbsup:

Do you think ill be ready to harvest the top buds in time for 4:20 that would give it a total flowering time of 7 weeks, and crystals are starting to develop right now and i see a couple of hairs starting to turn amber. obviously theres no definite way to tell but i would appreciate any thoughts on this matter.

Cheers! BCBUDS

Possably the seeds pollen sources were different

I do not think any sativa will flower in under 50 days sorry. You could take acouple of the small nugs that are not going to be much off a couple days before and smoke some of it but it will be very premature. I have harvest a sativa at 50 days but it really needed four more weeks on my first grow indoors ever. I would have gotten twice the yield if I waited but owell. It was a great pure high.

I would guess a 8-12 grams yeild on the tall sativa and possibly more on the other smaller plant with more light. The high will be excellent though so no worries you just need to grow more and keep them shorter.
