This was a rough week on the plants an it's all my fault. This is the first week of flower and it was a week filled with newbie mistakes. The week started off well. I gave them their first feeding by top dressing the all purpose and the bloom from Gaia Green and that went well. But then I went camping for 3 days and was worried that the girls would get too dried out, but because of this worry I actually gave them way too much before I left on the camping trip and too much again when I cam back. The plants got overwatered and are only now recovering after a few days of drying out. I probably won't water for another 2 days still. I also saw 2 dead gnats in the tent. I'm not super worried yet, but I'm definitely keeping an eye out for more fungus gnats. :( My worst mistake yet happened when I tried to bend the main cola on the Blue Critical for some LST, but it just snapped off in my hand. I guess I was too rough. :( It snapped clean off and there is nothing i can do except learn from this mistake and not bend so hard in the future. The Blue Critical Auto is obviously very stressed out from the overwatering and breaking the main branch, but it's still the first week of flowering and many side branches are still looking strong. I will grow it out and hopefully still get mediocre yield. Wow what a rough week. I'm gonna let the pots dry out well and i'm making a worm casting, kelp and molasses tea with a fish tank bubbler in a 3 gallon bucket. I'm gonna let it "brew" for 2 more days while the soil dries out and hope that the tea helps them recover nice and healthy after they dry out a bit.

@Ferenc, Thanks, You got any tips for not overdrying? Everything I've read says when the smallest branches snap. They sweet skunks have been hanging for 5 days and all branches just bend. No snapping.

Good Morning. Droopy leaves occur with both under watering and overwatering. If the leaves feel dry and are slightly thin, it's under watering. If the leaves feel full and seem bloated, it's overwatering. Looking at your photos they seem to be puffy, so most likely you're using too much water, especially if your note about giving each plant a gallon each day is accurate. Back to your data notes again, it sounds like you're continuing to feed with both the original all purpose fertilizer and have added the Bloom fertilizer as well? If so they're probably getting an excess of nitrogen. They're still growing and need some nitrogen for a few more weeks, but if you're giving both, that's causing the nutrient stress. Also, I noted that you said you've been tucking some of your leaves to expose the lower buds, but I couldn't see any on your photos. This is a key time to get all those dozens of under-canopy buds exposed, so if you can't do it by tucking, you'll need to do some aggressive pruning. If you haven't done so yet I suggest you Go to the GrowWeedEasy site and review their "Problems and Symptoms" link. They have an excellent section on diagnosing your problems complete with good photos. The last time I checked, Nebula Haze and her team had 500+ tutorials. Just be careful not to be one of those folks who go to WebMD and imagine they have every illness know to science! All of this said, you've been doing a great job with your girls, and I love the methodical and detailed entries...librarians obviously are detail oriented! You're doing great, so don't stress out and enjoy the ride. Take Care.

@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks. yes i have lots of perlite in the soil, but it definitely seems like I overwatered this week. I am still learning.

They´re looking really good! I think the droopinness is from overwatering, especilly using LEDs. Will bee following the grow. Keep it up!

Not a big deal snapping off the main stem. Happens to everyone who trains their plants. If anything, it was an unintentional topping and gives you an opportunity to see how the plant reacts to topping.
