The failing LED light let go on me this week! Half the LEDs blinked out of existence - which gave me the kick I needed to get a higher quality light. Welcome MARS HYdro TS 1000W quantum board. Well packaged and presented - easily hooked up - great covered 5x5 in veg. WHat I didn't know what more light = more dialing things in. The plants started to grow fast here but I didn't keep up with them. The learning curve became even steeper with a high powered light in a soil less mixture for a newbie! As you can see growth has been slow for me. Here are some things I suspected: Low night temps dropping to 16 celsius when lights went out (canadian basement) Insufficient lighting Poor watering techniques Overaggressive training too close to the main stem knuckle causing stem breakages No added CalMag supplement in soil less medium Light too close to plants Insufficienct fresh air movement - I had my exhaust fan off thinking it was only for smell. No air flow in the tent paired with overwatering led to the pots staying wet far too long.

You need to transplant now! This could be the answer to all your question triggered by root problems. Plant has overgrown container. The best way to tell when to transplant is when the leaves reach the edge of container like yours. I recommend great white when transtplant just sprinkle on roots directly. You will get outrageous root growth and helps transplant shock.

What are the beige/brown spots a sign of? Why are the two Cookies plants always droopy yet the Blue Dream never droopy and they have all been watered the same. Roughly 1g each every 5 or so days when pots are dry and light. My light is up to 30" so that's not it.

Hello DeeCee, your girls are still looking good. I see your problem, its sucking the nitrogen out of its leaves. That said it could be different things, not enough nutes at this stage. Maybe its not getting enough nutes or not consistent. Do not let your medium dry out completly (its bad for your girl and her roots), put your finger top in your medium when its a bit moist u can feed her again, if its really wet wait another day. Also i see your humidity is a little bit on the low side, it should be more between 65% and 55% i would recommend a foliar spray with silica or give silica with the regular feeding. I think thats about it and if you do something now they will bounce back up. Hope this was an helpfull answer my friend, if so give the answer a like. Keep on growing. Peace 👍

Hey everyone! So I've saved the droop! I looked back in my notes and it started the day I switched to 24/0. A day after going back to 20/4 they perked right back out. Turns out Torontonian Cookies needs a little rest! The yellowing fan leaves and occasional brown / bronze spots I believe to be either/or both nitrogen phosphorus deficiency which I believe I have in check. All signs pointing up! Thanks so much for the help @mrs_larimar @asnoriu

If you have tendecies to overwater . those smartpots provides it. They keep all the wet stuff inside......think about taking any other plastic pot , to have abetter drainage. your girls look like the roots a re standing in a swamp. Touch the bottom of your smartpots and tell me whow they feel

@AsNoriu, you are absolutely right...i have been using clay granules... and totally forgot it.... thy for remembering us for such easy things,,,,, apreciate it very much

@Mrs_Larimar, you can put lair of air stones on bottom of air/self pruning pots and you will never have overwatering or moisture concentration in some spots.... Still you will have to lift them to determine watering time ;) I know you know, but, with simple construction material from DIY store you can prevent it. I bought mine on ebay. Some people use it on top even, i like to see my soil and to shuffle it a bit or to add lair of fresh soil in midle of flower ( really good results ) Never had bug infection yet ;)) so my soil is always open.

@DeeCee,Thats way to expensive i agree . i pay between 12 and 20 euro for the pots in a growsop.... Ive made my own " airpots too... ive pierced with a hot metal wholes in the regualr ones... and iam sure in a hardware store you find your regular ones, ebay and amazon got them too and quite cheap too

I just had a thought - maybe the 24hr light schedule is stressing them and causing some droop. Looking back it may have come on right about when I switched from 20/4. Maybe starting tomorrow I'll switch back - I'm close to Flowering and will be slowly transitioning to 12/12 anyway. I have also gotten temps up in the basement to 19 or 20 celsius with the new furnace so it shouldn't plummet to 16 anymore.

@AsNoriu, thanks for all your advice and your time I really appreciate it. I'm going to think about my options and all this advice today and come up with a plan to execute tonight

@DeeCee, ppm got into my life only when i got lockouts, if you dont overfeed and your leaves colour is healthy - ph is GOD. BLUELAB cost 80 on amazon, do it your first buy, when you can. Sticks are more acurate than most pens. I used paper, liquid and pen, when my plant where in trouble just to make sure, that i do what i want to do, not what wrong settings lie to me .. All the best, one thing is sure is you do not poison it its almost imposible to kill that big weed in veg. You will only slow down grow rate, shock her or so, but no kill in 99% only poison kills...

@AsNoriu, tomorrow night I'm going to do just that with one. I do have a bag of Promix seedling starter soil that should be pretty light on nutrients. I don't have a ph pen I use the sticks. I just bought a 20 dollar ppm pen off amazon a few minutes ago. I know not ideal but like I said I'm out of budget on this grow by now so it'll have to do.
