answered grow question 5y ago
After trying to give less water and making it worse. I tried giving them water again, making it even more worse than it was, I found out is was a potassium deficiency. After giving them nutes they started to come back up again.

Drooping or wilting of the leaves is the main symptom of overwatering.

Brown and wiltingleaves
Hi, im first time grower of cannabis. Loving the challenge so far, but started encountering some issues with two seedlings and realized im going to need some advice from more experienced growers here. I suspect overwatering or nutriet burn/root rot. Would love for your ideas.

Bottom Leaves only looking worse for wear
Hi, does anyone know what's causing some of my very lowest leaves to become like this? They are still attached to the plant but fall off really easily and look like they've had the life sucked out of them. The rest of the plant looks relatively fine.

Burnt tips and yellowing leaves
About two week ago, lower leaves started yellowing, and I saw burn leave tips, so I suspected nutrient burn. I only watered with tap 6.5 pHed water since, but the burnt tips and yellowing are getting worse continuously. At least 3 largest lower leaves died off over the period.

Nutrient deficiency, pest or under-watering?
I'm not sure whether i'm having a nutrient deficiency problem, am under-watering or having a pest. As you can see some leaves dried up and turned yellow and i'm also noticing a little bit of interveinal chlorosis.

Why some leaves are droppy?
Some leaves are a bit droppy -things i don't see often on other diary of the same seed, is this caused by overwatering? Too much direct air from the fan? I did not water since days ago cause i feel like the soil is not dry.

drooping leaves, cold weather and high humidity, is it overwater problem?
I think i´ve overwatered my plants, so it´s is cold (16 C / 60 F) and relative humidity around 70%-75% . old leaves are turning yellow. I´ve lowered the water frequency and wait the soil to dry before water again but leaves are still droopy. What do you think? is it overwater?
