This week has been a struggle. Last week it looked like my sweet skunks were about to die and they have perked up a bit, as has the white widow, but the blue critical is super angry. It looks like a calcium deficiency but there is calcium in the soil. I did some testing and it turns out my soil is quite acidic. The Sweet Skunk and White Widow soil is sitting right around 6.0 ph, but for some reason I can't figure out yet the blue critical soil is about 5.5. So I think the leaf death is caused by calcium and other nutrients getting locked out by the acidic soil. I added a bit of dolomite lime and have been watering with my regular tap water (in my city 7.5-7.8) hoping that brings the ph back up. :( They still don't look happy though. I'm not sure i'll be able to save the stunted and angry blue critical. But the other 3 are slowly bouncing back at least.

@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.
