same treatment diferent results
Heisenherbstarted grow question 3mo ago
IS this overwatering? The front plants are super healthy and nice but the ones in the back are droopy. How should I fix this? my tent usually is open in a green house type of room. I removed the side of the tent just now. Thanks guys =)

Nice setup overall you’re on a good path here.
The two plants in the front look healthy and vigorous. The ones in the back are definitely lagging a bit and showing some stress, especially with those drooping leaves.
In veg, I’d aim to keep your humidity around 60%. Warm temps combined with higher humidity really help plants stay active and recover faster. From the picture, your environment looks okay, but you might benefit from pushing humidity slightly higher if it’s currently below that range.
As for the drooping leaves, it’s hard to say 100% this can happen from both overwatering and underwatering. That’s the tricky part. The best method is really to lift the pots before and after watering to get a feel for the weight. Once you dial that in, things usually improve quickly.
I’d also consider slightly adjusting your CalMag, depending on your feeding schedule. Some of that leaf posture and color hints that they might want a bit more.
The plant in the back right also looks like it could be dealing with a bit of light stress. With LEDs, it’s pretty common plants can transpire heavily and “dry out” faster than expected even if the soil is moist.
What works really well in situations like this is a foliar boost. You can use BioTabs Boom Boom Spray mix 7 ml per 1 L of water and spray the underside of the leaves (stomata). That usually gives a quick recovery push. Alternatively, 7 g Epsom salt per 1 L water also works great as a veg support.
Nothing too dramatic here just small adjustments and they should bounce back nicely.
Good luck and enjoy the grow 🌱🙏

first, genetic diversity is why the plants look different even if they are treated the same. Even their tolerance for stress can be unique to each.
light, climate, watering could all be a cause of what you see so you'll have to eliminate possibilities.
watering is simple... fully saturate, wait for dryback and repeat. if not doing that, amend practices. If plants droop following an irrigation, that is the fault of the mediums constitution. add more perlite or similar next time for better rootzone aeration... gas:water mix is important. heavy soils need 50% perlite per volume. Something coco-coir based only needs 33% because it holds proportionally less water. Both will hold roughly the same volume of water if amended this way and that's not an accident. if this is the cause, there's nothing you can do about it midstream. just constitute your medium with a greater proportion of perlite or similar next time.
Dense growth can cause slow transpiration (low vpd). That can cause droopy leaves. a selectively pruned leaf or even some axillary growth can help in this context. Prefer to spread it out before you cut anything. Also i'd rule out other possibilities first before choosing to cut anything. Don't think that's the case here.
overwatering is a matter of frequency .. i'm assuming you don't run 10 extra gallons of water through the medium during a single irrigation. As long as you are allowing the plant to drink up what you provide before giving more, it isn't overwatering. If you are not waiting for the top layer to dry, that could be part of the problem.
If vpd is very low, that too would cause this.
too much light over time can cause this too. even if you don't see the typical leaf damage.. slightly too much light will be tolerated intiaily but eventualyl the plant will droop and stall out.
limited info.. you'll have to figure it out.

This looks like overwatering to me, or at least the roots not getting enough oxygen. The leaves are drooping and look heavy rather than dry or deficient. I would let the medium dry out more between waterings and make sure you’re not keeping it constantly wet.

Puffy leaves with wrinkles and interveinal speed bumps is an overwatering symptom.
Back up your light first and fix the roots with some enhancers.

salut a mon avis oui il est fort probable que tes racines manques d'air. asphyxie due a la terre trop humide. attend que tes pots soit sec avant d'arroser denouveau. bonne journée

Do you have any ventilation at the back or a fan blowing. Swap front for back and see what happens
