Dry, droopy leaves

TheNorthernCultivator
TheNorthernCultivatorstarted grow question 5 years ago
My 3BOG is not underwatered, but the leaves feel like sand paper and only new growth is droopy. Lights are over 40” away and I moved her away from the fan (was thinking wind burn). Any other suggestions? Don’t mind the 45% RH. When I open tent it drops briefly

Leaves. Curl down

From my personal experience (very similar to yours), I found the main issue for my plants drooping was the light intensity and period of being on. Whilst you can keep your lights on 24hrs per day, some strains struggle to keep up with the photosynthesis and droop its leaves to lower the intensity hitting the leaves. I've found once I reduced my lights on period to 16-18hrs/day and extended the distance - the leaves propped up and looked much healthier. This is ofcourse assuming your VPD and other environmental conditions are acceptable (which sounds like it in your case).

Thanks for all the answers everyone :) I moved her away from the fan and added some nutes as she was showing signs for food. She is doing much better

Hi growmie! I see you are growing in coco. Have you checked cocoforcannabis,com? One basic rule with coco is that you should never let it dry! Coco is like growing hydro but coco is media buffer and overwatering does not apply to coco. That is 'cos coco holds lots of water and it is inert materia and soil on the other hand loses all of its oxygen if moistured too much. Overwatering the soil is bad because the soil will lose all of its oxygen and the roots suffocate but in coco this wont happen. You should also notice that coco sucks magnesium and calcium so you might want to add some good cal/mag product BUT don't get the one thats produced with calciumnitrate ocs thats 15N and 19Ca so lots of nitrogen and hard to use in flowering, depending on your nute line ofc. Oh yeah and thing with coco, when the plants are bigger you want to water with some run off water every time to flush the build up salts, unless you are using humic acid and/or beneficial bacteria and fungi that will break up those build up salts. Lots of info, hope it helps 😂

Might be wind damage. How powerful is that fan? Are the ladies gently moving the wind or are they getting moved quite a bit. Just a guess from set up and your thinking seems pretty sound.

Hey, So if they aren't over watered or under watered, then the couple things i could think would be 1st are you giving any nutrients yet since it's soilless? Can you put any cups over the smaller ones to boost the humidity up to 70-80%? And this is just personal opinion but maybe they would benefit from a small amount of rest/sleep and change to a 20/4 light schedule. Hope you get to the problem soon. Happy growing. ✌️
