@FreshCoastOrganics check out my "rootbound" plants this morning. Thanks for your assurance. I found an article by a PhD in Botany no less that describes the night wilting of cannabis. It's good for it.

Gave them all a little soaking from the squirt bottle, closer to the seedling. I thought they were looking parched.
The yellow on Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman concerned me, I added some Senie A 3-0-0, maybe 2ML to a 32 oz squirt bottle.
Raised the lamp a little to see.
For the most part, I'm pretty pleased with 4 days of progress.

I planted too shallow. 5 are growing, #6 did not make it either. 5 out of 7. Solves the space problem a little... still...
My partner came through with the HPS too. So there you see, my 1200 LED is 30" (approx) from the little guys, and the HPS is over the flowering guys. Thanks KC!
So this is day 1.
6/24/2020
#6 went in the pot. #7 did not make it. That helps a little.
6/23/2020
Planted 1 2 3 4 5. 6 and 7 will probably be ready tomorrow.
My soil is biobizz light with 1/4 perlite. I gave the seedling area one quick squirt from my sprayer before planting. I drowned seeds, and overwatered plants the last two times.
6/22/2020
All 7 seeds are showing root tails. Three will be 1" tomorrow and get planted. I shifted stuff around and have room for 7 pots. Grow tent in a month.
6/20/2020
Put the seeds in the paper towel two plates dark cabinet place. After 20 hour soak.

So, I ordered 5 seeds and got 7, and all germinated nicely, but I really wasn't planning on that many plants. I know I need a grow tent. Please peek at my last comment called Welcome to the Jungle... any suggestions... I know nothing... but I can learn.

Hey friend,
So.. 7 plants is a lot, but really its all what you can handle. I know some people who run a perpetual auto harvest, where every 3 weeks they harvest 3, and germinate 3. I'd say to get that 60x60x70 up and going asap, it's the best way to keep a consistent and comfortable environment. There shouldn't be a problem fitting all 7 autos in there and then you'll know how much you want to run on future grows. I can run 3 in a 4x2x5 so you shouldn't have a problem with 7 in a 5x5x6.
Good luck with the grow.✌️

Your humidity is low ( despite it showing 60%) and N on higher levels, feed them with ph water for a week, no nutes, they should start to grow.
Lst always gives small shock.
Hope you do it before watering and no nutes .
Give some love, spray leaves, don't take anything off and just let them grow.
Maybe your light too intence, they don't want to stretch at all ??

Referring to my post and picture today, any guesses to the wilting? I should add that the wilting isn't all the time, it comes and goes.

Experimentgreenanswered grow question 4 years ago
Ok...so it comes and goes... does it happen close to watering? Either wilted before watering or wilting right after being watered? If so try to find a good wet/dry balance. If it's after watering then we want to consider that the soil needs to dry faster(maybe more aeration like perlite or pumice), it may be having root struggles(rot/lack of oxygen) , otherwise sometimes a root bound plant can wilt when it needs transplanted.
You might want to also bring your light hours down from the 24, i think all living things benefit sleep and i usually think 20/4 or 18/6 is the best way to keep the plant calm and happy.
stumay111started grow question 4 years ago
I've narrowed some conditions down on my wilting issue. But still don't have an answer. Temp/Humidity/CO2 all fine. Pots half light, it's not overwater I don't think. See my post. Thanks.

Your characterization of "daily wilting" leads me to believe that it's a natural circadian rhythm. I bet it happens between 1-2 hours before lights off? If so, there's nothing to worry about, my plants did it for about 3 weeks and grew put of it. Never caused any harm to them and it happens to a lot of plants. Dont go doing anything to intense to fix it, you probably dont have an issue at all. Hope this helps!

I read about EC and PPM. I have a meter that reads both, and it says my PPM is too low, and the number it gives for EC is like 1200 and the charts all have numbers like 1.2-2. WTF.
I ran out of pH strips but I know my pH is good, I used distilled water. What's everyone's thought?

the_canna_scientistanswered grow question 4 years ago
EC and PPM while linked generally are two different measures. One is simply measuring the amount of particles in the water, and the other is measuring Electrical Conductivity. Do you have a Salinity measure on your meter? While EC runoff is generally a good way to measure the fertilizer salts / nutrient uptake, a salinity meter is the best way to see if you have excess salts. I'm currently working on a write up on the relation of PPM to EC to Salinity.
Athos's answer is correct. I was just adding some color.

I have overnuted, I think just a little. What I did to resolve it is in my last post week 10.

You've overcomplicated everything.. Mixing in your powders and liquids and all sorts of stuff... It's hard to say where you are really sitting other then saturated.... Feeding Cannabis is not about 1500 ppm for 8 weeks during flower.. This is like baseline starter information. The 1500 ppm feeding is for healthy strong big plants.. If your plants not healthy maintaining high intake just continues to throw off the balance. Your better to go like 1/5 a regular feeding and waiting to see what she does with it.... A lot of guys are constantly fighting with their plants.. Constantly adding nutrients and ph buffers.. And all it does is add intake and make for poor Cannabis. There is a reason why experienced growers say less is more.. Because less is actually more.

I have one of those EC / PPM meters, they are fairly easy to use. Your reading of 1200 is in uS/cm, which is the same as 1.2 mS/cm or if you convert it into PPM 600. Hope that clarifies it for you. Most info around has the EC in mS/cm, just divide your reading by 1.000

I just tried that with mine and they totally stunted....I would suggest starting them in their final pots. Autos do not like to be transplanted. Let me know if you have success doing it.

Hey bro!
Noticed you mentioned your plants get droopy before they go to sleep. Plants usually know when the lights go off so they will start to drop right before.
One other reason could be that they aren’t getting enough light, for autoflowers 18hours of sunlight minimum is recommended. I don’t think 14 hours is enough to get a good yield out of this strain. I’m growing the same strain and I keep mine close to 20 on 4 off.

@stumay111, That’s definitely the case, mine do the same. They’re just preparing for sleep or waking up!
That makes sense with the light schedule because of the fan issue. It will help once you get it!
But definitely not root bound.. It is almost impossible for a plant to become root bound in a fabric pot/air pot lol.

@FreshCoastOrganics, this seems to be the case, they are going to sleep. Last night just before lights on they perked up; this morning they drooped again just before lights out.
I'm not crazy about the 14 hours, I am waiting for a stronger intake fan, hopefully I'll get it back up to 18.
I just wanted someone to tell me not to worry about it. The other thoughts people had were rootbound. I don't think that's the case.

A few pieces of wood some screws a roll of the black and white plastic and you can literally build a tent any size you want. For the floor, home depot sells cheap pond liners. The black and white plastic keeps all light inside the tent just as good. All will cost about 120 bucks. A couple more pieces of wood and you will have enough left on your plastic roll for another tent. One for veg and one for clone so you can always have a crop budding and one getting ready to. Cheers
