Moved the girls into their flower tent. The vege tent is only 5' 2" where the flower tent is 6' 11". I now have far more headroom under the lights, though it is still limited and will likely present a problem due to the overly long period in vegetation. Fabricated and installed a ScROG screen at the end of the week, but of course, the girls had already grown so much that not only was installation difficult, but so was canopy control. Several branches were damaged during installation and mended with duct tape. Increased the balance of nutrients and stopped adding a root builder. Overall TDS has still remained relatively constant. The temperature has increased under the new light while the humidity has dropped due to the absence of a humidifier in the flower tent. Defoliated most of the growth under the screen. Tied off and tucked branches as much as possible in an attempt to form and control the canopy shape and height.

Many of my seedlings are drooping, with some yellowing and even some brown spots. I think my increased watering schedule is the problem. Does that sound right? What corrective action should I take?

Hey elmer bud I saw that this question is 6 days old and was wondering if you ever transplanted them? You are correct that rockwool is VERY sensitive to overwatering. With those size cubes you want to plant them as soon as the roots start coming put of the bottom. But once you transplant them quite the opposite will happen. The grow medium you plant them in will pull water out of the rockwool so you will not have the overwatering issue anymore. I use perlite mostly but have used the clay pebbles, soil, coco and you want to plant them in something asap. Hopefully you already have. Curious to see an update on how they are doing. Good luck!

Hey curious what you ended up doing with these girls? Hope they are doing well!

@ElmerBud, I just ordered some general hydroponics rapid rooters they are supposed to have better airflow than rockwool and a little dose of nutrients to give them a kickstart. They sound pretty nice. I have heard great things about them.

@ElmerBud, once you get them planted they will do much better. I look forward to the update! Will follow along.

@Wicked_Stix, Hey, thanks for the input. I've been out of town, was gone for a few days, and that sort of put everything on hold. I've still not transplanted, though that is the pan for later today. I look forward to my next go-round and taking advantage of your sage advice to transplant much earlier. I'll be posting an update here shortly, but the short version is that I continue to ride the over/under watering merry-go-round. Thanks!

First a big thanks to the responses I received here. Lots of good advice along with a fair amount of encouragement . . . what could be better. Hindsight now tells me that the problem was definitely overwatering; I seem to be a serial offender. I regret putting my girls through the back and forth cycle, but it'll all hopefully workout in the end anyway. I'm now equipped to do better next time. Live and learn.
