Frowny leaves
Thegreenmachinestarted grow question 3y ago
Hey friends! I’m getting some droopy leaves. The wildberry cake has had a bit of a droop for a while. I don’t think I’m over/under watering. Could this be pot size? I was hoping to not transplant. The tips are curling down too. Maybe nutrient heavy?

The clawing is a nitrogen toxicity. You'd need to flush with 3x the pot volume with pH'd water and when you go to feed them again, drastically cut back on the nitrogen-heavy nutes.
I think you're growing in a .75 gallon pot? If so, WAY WAY WAY too small. The SMALLEST I would recommend is a 3 gallon... your plant is going to be root bound quickly if it's not already and you're going to have a massive struggle getting her across the finish line to a harvest.
Good luck..

It’s pretty universally accepted that when the tips turn under like that on just the tip (only the last 10-20% of the length of the finger) it’s excess nitrogen.
And if you like small pots.. do your thing man. I’ve done plenty of small container (1gal) grows.. obviously limiting yield tho

That's not quite right. N-tox would first show with dried-out leaf tips before N becomes toxic, you would also notice bulges on the leaves. Downward curled leaf edges (claws) indicate incorrect turgor pressure, and that comes from too much water.

as others have said, N tox, and those babies are rootbound for sure. I know 2x2's are kinda small, so if I were you, I'd grow one plant in a 3-5gal fabric pot. hope this helps!

There's nothing overfed. That's too much water. Do you have good drainage? There shouldn't be any standing water. Let the pot dry out a bit first, then water the plant every 3 days with up to about 1/3 of the pot's volume in water. So for a 3-liter pot, you would water with 0.5-1 liter of water. The plant needs to be able to drink it all in 3 days.

I haven’t fed them since I popped the seed. I only used half the recommended dose of all purpose. I’m well into flower now, will transplanting will do more harm than good at this point? How are people finishing solo cup grows being such small pots?

Could be both nitrogen and root bound.. both can cause claw like leafs drooping. Would transplant her to bigger pot

Yes, over fed and yes, pots are way too small, they will limit growth severely.
Pots about 20 litres/5 gallons are what I would consider as minimum size.

Autoflower week 9, not floweringSo what should I do, there's no signs of switching in week 9!
I've tried changing to 18/6 lighting, but have only been running it for a couple of days.
Besides that she is really droopy and the soil feels really hard (maybe lots of roots).
Any advice is appreciated :)

Blätter welk verdrehtThe leaves look wilted or twisted. They are in the first day of 12/12 mode with different light. What could it be? I can rule out too little water or too much fertilizer; they are still getting almost the same amount of growth as before. And even less than required.

Droopy plantsLately my plant's have been droopy. The leaves were going up until I used early nute mix - BioHeaven, Activera and RootJuice from Biobizz - their NPK is low so I didn't expect them to affect plants. Since then I've watered with clean 6.5 water when dry, so its not overwatering :/

3 week old Skittles plantThis is one of my skittles plants I'm growing right now. One of the leaves on her started getting lighter spots near the veins. It is only a little right now but I am wondering if there could be an issue that I could solve before it gets worse.
