I have been adding dirt ever few days because plants were really stretching due to light being to far and leaving humidity domes in for to long. Humidity domes were fogging up and blocking light. Using HLG-300 V2 fully dimmed for light and Berger BM6 for soil. Only using bottle water PH 6.5 in spray bottle.

Hello ! The 1st overwatering sign is the droopy leaves and from what I can see your leaves aren't droopy or are no more droopy ( if it was the case ) what makes me think that your overwatering issue is behind you now. Concerning the "praying leaves" this is a sign of toom much heat or a too low humidity level or both. From what I can see you temperatures seems to be perfect but How far is the light from the top ? is the temp the same at the top of the plant ? it's common to have an higher temps around the light than in the box . Concerning your humidity you should be around 80% (70% mini but 80% is better ) and I can read 43% which is way too low so you should try to grab a humidifier to get the RH higher. I think that the praying leaves + the yellow colour and tips burn ( or starting to ) is due to the low humidity + the fact that she need to recover from the over watering which makes the nutrients absorbtion harder than usual. I hope it will help you

All plants have been doing alright. Struggling to get past this problem of yellowing dropping leaves. Found out my soil has a starter charge of fertilizer in it. Dug out as much as i could and replaced it with some soil with none. Trying to water with 2.5ml -0.5L peroxide mixed with PH 6.5 distilled water. (Saved my plants!)

Hey there D so I've been having some seedling problems myself and after looking things over i noticed the most severe problem was too much moisture in the soil. I havent had to water again and its been about 9 days, ive only been misting slightly and misting the cup that's serving as a humidity dome. So maybe see they're watered well, and then leave them alone, let them get some fresh air each day and some humid air each day, and make sure theres good drainage holes. For myself, the more I tried messing with things the worse it got. I just needed time, good temp, and to take it easy on the watering. I hope they pull through for you, I think nature usually finds a way, just give it time. ✌️

Plants looking great so far and starting to grow again. Having an issue with weird white mold starting to form. Scooped it all out for now. Transferred plants to 1 gallon pots. Older plants were a little root bound. Need to use more soil in solo cup next time.

Good week so far! Plants growing slow. Starting to give nutrients and plants seem to be speeding up. Should have gotten them out of the solo cups sooner. Watering every 3-4 days with 200-250ml water + nutrients

Thing are going very well! Think I'm past my overwatering and under potting stage. Will need to top Berry #1 soon, growing much faster than the rest. Transplanted into 5 gallon pots. Turned up light to 75% and am having problems with temperatures and humidity levels. Purchased a Cool mist humidifier and it completely fixed my issues. Will also need to start LST when plants fully recover.

Starting out this week better than last. I seem to be past my heat and humidity issues from turning up my light. Both a soil moisture tester and is helping with watering. I was actually underwatering my plants. Only using 350ml per plant every 3 days. Now watering with 2.5l and waiting for the meter to tell me its ready.

Plants really blowing up and filling the tent. Very happy with this week! Wishing i would have started LST sooner. Finally think I'm getting watering down by using the weight of the pot to determine if they need water. Using 4-5L (slight runoff) every 3-4 days

Adding second light this week to get prepared for flowering. Need to learn how to control heat and RH with 2 lights in tent. Plants are taking the change well but Kush #1 is Tacoing and drooping. But all others look fine.

Flowing starting out rough. Plant's looking yellow on top. Thinking possible light burn. Raised lights up to 28" from 20" One plant in back is drooping and canoeing.(Lights way to close!) Watered with 6.5ml pure blend pro bloom and 2ml cal-mag per 4L. Watered 5.5L each plant 6.3-6.8Ph (slight runoff & pots were light). Plant run 6.3Ph (Feed bloom to soon!) Wait 1-2 week after flipping lights to feed bloom. Plants need N to power the stench

I believe I light burned my plants when I put in my second 300W LED. Plant's yellowing on tops and drooping and canoeing. Have just switched to 12/12 light 4 days ago. And started to feed Flowering mix of 9ml pure blend pro and 1.5ml cal-mag per 4L. Feed every water.

The canoeing up is probably due heat stress. The droopy (and puffy) leaves look like over watering, I mean 5.5 liters every 4 days? that sounds like too much, it can explain the yellowing too. You switched to bloom nutes too soon, keep giving the plants grow nutes for at least 3 weeks, to power the stretch. The plants look like it has both a P and K deficiency.

Have fixed my drooping problem! Recovering from light burn and trying to get a feel of how much light the girls like. Running light at 80% 400w from wall (200w each) started at 34" moving light down 1" daily.

hey Dandamans, this doesnt look fantastic, but it could be one of two things scenarios : lockout/deficiency, or aging/flowering - the lower leaves could be nothing and just falling off after being canabalised for nitrogen as part of being old or the soil might be lacking in nitrogen. The top leaves could be turning colorful because of a lack of K potassium or it could be lock out from the nutrients that went too far. I can't really tell you more than this based on the progression I'm seeing. I hope you're not feeding every watering at least , because that would explain the first scenario. Hope this helps ! 🚀
