Leaves pointing down and pale

precedex
precedexstarted grow question 9 months ago
I'm on the third week since germination. The whole plant looks pale and all the leaves are pointing down. I'm not sure if it is overfert or nutrient deficiency. Images showing one week ago and today.

Hi precedex, First of all looks quite good and no worries we got u covered :) In the third week since germination, your cannabis plant's pale color and drooping leaves could be due to overfeeding (nutrient toxicity) or a nutrient deficiency. Overfeeding can cause nutrient imbalances, while deficiencies can result in pale leaves and downward curling. It's important to identify the issue: - Overfeeding Solution: Flush with pH-balanced water to remove excess nutrients. Resume feeding with a diluted nutrient solution and gradually increase strength. - Nutrient Deficiency Solution: Identify the specific deficiency (e.g., nitrogen, potassium) by examining symptoms. Supplement with a balanced nutrient solution that addresses the lacking nutrient. Also, check for root issues, pH balance, and environmental factors. Address the problem promptly to prevent long-term damage. If unsure, feel free to send me DM :) Good luck and have fun

You need to give this poor thing some veg nutes, not flowering nutes at this point. She's starving for some nitrogen in particular. Growing in coco also requires more nutes as the frequent watering washes away much of them... always practice the water/feed/water/feed routine. These leaves, even when you start giving them veg nutes, won't automatically turn a darker shade of green (you'd need to add iron to do this but it's not that important). The new growth should come in looking much healthier... Good luck!

Un exceso de nutrientes puede producir una deficiencia. Su recipiente es pequeño y pudo haber una acumulación de fertilizantes, no creo que sea el caso. Segundo: puede ser exceso de riego mucha humedad también puede causar su problema. Una solución puede ser trasplantar a un recipiente más grande y regar día por medio o cada 2 días. Mucha suerte.

Nitrogen deficiency, pre fertilized soils last about 3 weeks, transplanting in a bigger pot will solve the problem, it will recover in a week. Good luck and have fun 😉

Hi, it doesn't look so bad but I think your roots are getting tangled because the pot is very small for its current size. I recommend your final size pot to be a 5 Gallon (19L) pot. If you plan on transplanting it to that size directly make sure that during the first week or two, you just water around the plant and not the whole pot to avoid having issues. Good luck with the rest of your grow and hope this helps

I don't think the plants look to bad, two items though that maybe of some help. When leaves point downwards it can be a sing of over or under watering. Overwatering = Stiff leaf stems and limp downward pointing leaves. Underwatering = Limp leaf stems and extra limp leaves pointing down/falling off. The size of the pot is also kinda small and the plant could use a transplant, root bound plants can be dwarfed by the pot size. I;d aim to put it in 1-3 gal pot size, and if needed move up to a 5-7gal. I am not familiar with your nutrient lineup, but if they are dry amendments they need time to be broken down by soil microbes. If they are liquid fertilizers they are most likely readily available for the plant. adding to much in can hurt the plant and should be used with some runoff. Good Luck!

Probably the pH is off and your overwatering, I would say re-pot it with dry soil and leave it alone for 7 days. Then re-introduce water at pH 6.0.
