Interesting week..... Whilst she has grown and shows well at times, I find the leaves often look very droopy. Could anyone please help me figure out why?
Here's some extra info.
I've noticed that the drooping seems to happen from about 4pm in the afternoon. When I check at about 9am the next day (after resting over night), she looks beautiful and perky, virtually no droop at all! Then later in the day starts to droop again.
Watering
Admittedly there have been a day here or there where I've watered a bit less (been busy). But I've also noted the drooping on days where I've watered 400ml a day (2 x 200ml) for a few days.
I'm pH testing my water and ensuring its 6.3 - 6.6
Humidity
This has been around 47-51%
I know this is low, I haven't got a humidifier yet.
Ive just been spraying water in to tent every few hours when I'm awake.
Could this be causing an issue?
Lights
Always 60cm distance
Running 20 hours on
On - 2am to 10pm
Air flow
Always has access to open window/fresh air. Intake is great as is exhaust. Circulation fan inside too. I don't believe this to be the issue.
Nutrients
I haven't added any nutrients to my waterings. As mentioned in my previous weeks post this is because I'm using organic living soil.
Should I perhaps rethink this and add a tiny amount of nutrients? (open to suggestions)
Training
I'm wanting to try LST, however with the drooping issues, I don't think it'd be a good idea to add the extra stress of LST.
Plant leaves drooping seems to happen from about 4pm in the afternoon. When I check at about 9am the next day (after resting over night), she looks beautiful and perky, virtually no droop at all! Then later in the day starts to droop again.
See week 3 post notes for more details
Usually this happens when you don't water or when you water too much.
Looking at the photo you uploaded I can see that the top layer is very moist: it can be that the pot is too big and the water creates a bubble inside.
Touch the leaves: if the leaves seem moist I advise you to water the plants with less frequency or with less water.
Good luck!
@Mr_ZAF_Budz,
Thanks for the response mate!
I appreciate the comment and information. I will start having a little look at what nutrients I could try and introduce in small amounts, like you have said with the molasses. Cheers 🙂👍
@Oblique, Good choice! Living organic soil is the way to go in my opinion🙌🏼 You can also give grow or bloom nutrients dependent upon the growth stage of the plants but it’s not a requirement. If you feel you want to feed at some point then maybe start with a simple molasses feed to keep the microorganisms in your soil happy and strong.
Otherwise keep doing what you doing enjoy the grow🤜🏼🤛🏼
@Mr_ZAF_Budz,
Thanks for the response Mr ZAF. I dont really know much about what nutrients to feed, so I chose organic living soil (link below for details) which I believe contains most of the nutrients required throughout the grow.
My aim was to simplify this to make it as easy as possible for my first ever grow 🙂
