Leaves hanging down

vinnienikki
vinnienikkistarted grow question 2 years ago
Northern Lights, Autoflower, 6th Grow Week. Some leaves hang down weakly since a few days, especially the upper ones. The weird thing is, that some leaves feel a bit dry, other ones feel normal. The other plant, Critical Auto, looks absolutely fine and healthy.
Solved
Week 6
Leaves. Curl down

If the soil is always moist, then you've answered the question.... it IS overwatered! Overwatering isn't a matter of giving it too much water at one time, it's a matter of the soil being constantly wet... so let the pot dry out completely before giving it anything more. If this were not an autoflower, I would suggest you investigate the roots but this SHOULD NOT BE DONE for an autoflower.... they are VERY finicky about stress and that would stress them out. Let the plant dry out completely and then get into the practice of lifting the pot to see how heavy/light it is before you give it anything more, be it water or a nute solution... you'll be able to tell, you really will. Good luck!

Hmm I'm really not sure about... But I think it could be maybe overwatered. Because the soil is always moist. But I never gave so much water, that it run off the pot. But because the soil is wet always it's maybe overwatered I guess...

Only YOU will know whether it's overwatered or underwatered... if it's over-watered, I would then be concerned about root rot setting in... And I'm not concerned at all that your other plant is not exhibiting the same problem... different plants can, and often do, take up liquid at different rates... so the right amount for one will be either too much or too little for another... You just have to treat each as an individual... 😊 Please click on the grower's name that is answering your question to see their profile.

High vinnienikki, This plant is overwatered. Her roots are suffocating due the lack of oxygen. I would build a rain cover above the pot. This can be made with something as simple as a plastic bag and tape. Just make sure that rainwater doesn't over saturate the soil. You need to let the top layer of the soil (3cm) dry out between waterings. Happy Growing! 😋

I'm not sure but what you're not watering enough... this isn't a nute issue and certainly not an insect. When you water, do you water enough that you're getting 10-20% runoff? From one of the photos here, it looks like you probably just watered the plant but the soil is dry around the perimeter... ALL of the soil needs to be watered as the roots do not like encountering dry spots and this will affect your grow. Everything else seems spot on - the pH, the hours of light... I truly think you're just not giving enough water... try that and see if she doesn't perk up! Good luck! Please click on the grower's name that is answering your question to see their profile.
