Leaves looking droopy and wrinkled

16 days old, grown in coco perlite 70/30 mix. Input solution is ph 5.5, EC 1.2, runoff is ph 6, EC 1.1. Fertigating 3 x day to 10% runoff. Leaves are looking droopy, like they've been over-watered, but drainage is good, plenty of perlite and never had this before. Any thoughts?

Thanks for responding to this 👍 I think I'm on board, you just make sure to keep your coconut substrate moist? It's not always translated well here, sorry 😛 Well, to answer your lamp... Every lamp is different and you need to figure out what the right height is. I had a 600-watt LED lamp, at full power, the distance from lamp to plant was 60cm. I think it could help to get your leaves to perk up a bit, your plant is also hanging pretty low to the ground so I think it could use some extra light. I would try this and keep a close eye on how the plant reacts. If there's still a problem later due to watering or something with your coconut substrate, then feel free to ask a new question. I have no experience with coconut and would rather not give advice and leave it to my fellow growers. I'm crossing my fingers that it will help 🙂 Good luck! 🌱

@Weezy90, yes I keep the coco moist at all times. They are very low, I will move the light down a bit and see how they respond :) Thanks very much for your help!

@Weezy90, 3x per day isn't unusual for coco... the perlite should hold enough oxygen at the roots even when completely saturated. My lamp is a Kingbrite 480w in a 3x3, currently at 30 inches and about 60% of full power.... my last grow question was actually around how high I should hang my light, and I didn't get any definitive answers. The leaves certainly do look shriveled and wrinkled - do you think my light could come closer / use more power? Could it help? I'm not really sure where it should be at this stage!

Hi ! Bemesting 3x per dag? Is dat niet wat teveel? Teveel water zou logisch zijn, maar als je inzoomt vind ik dat jouw bladeren er best droog uitzien, wat verschrompeld. Naar mijn mening mag je lamp wat lager worden gehangen🙂 Succes met groeien!🌱
