you don`t get enough evaporation from it, better idea to lay out the tray, better surface area for exaporation, also it`ll collect all the fine dust particles that settle on the water... the pot also if not frost proof could crack open....

G'day all.Grow all sounds good there @R31. Duct tape the world is my motto.Thanks for the link @bud. I use kav but I think I have another 200 days left with my cracked key.@ae86. Planty still suffering. Woke up this morning and back to being incredibly wilted. Head is wrecked. Temp is 24-25. That just leaves humidity and airflow I think, Anyone have any idea's?

Have you drainage holes in that pot? When did you last water and have you fed it any nutrients lately? Sometimes they droop when the environment changes suddenly for example I had my dbxl 3 potted in a reg pot that's lower than the airpots so I had it propped on a lil pot that I start seedlings in to level it out but now since its grown alot I took it off the lil pot so now its drooping a little.

By cheap ones u mean disacant(silicone beads) ones do u?
Try speaker cloth for ducting, will let air through but block light.
Nothing growing at the mo, one to two grows a year is more than enough for me.

There is not alot wrong with them plants. Looks like overwatering or badly draining soil. Stick tour finger well into the soil and should feel slightly moist, leave plants until top of soil is dry/crumbly and 2 inch down just slightly damp or nearly dry, then water.

Cheers guys. Will have to check drainage. It has a slightly higher clay mix than planned. Be back later.

we keep those ones in the wardrobe lol I've got better grade ones that actually collect noticable amounts of water n I have a 1kg pack of crystal for em as their refillable cost around ten euro for the dehumidifier thing. That's what im hoping to do myself say maybe 2 crops a year but now im toying with clones lol thing is I'll never sell ( this is in my opinion why ppl mainly get caught) it that beast I have is male I won't clone n the smoke off the 4 -3 others will keep me going a while but saying that I smoke ALOT.

R3 its all about surface area with evaporation but he bucket a good idea dude, thing with ice is it will also lower temps aswell...
gd... the guys are on the right track its eiher holding too much water or its an airation problem, long knitting needle or likewise device and push it slowly to the bottom (or as close to it) of the pot maybe in several locaions around the pot...
that said there looking good, there a great colour and that in itself says alot about a cannabis plant, the wilting can be there for awhile or the rest of your grow but apart from the visual droop they look good...
can i ask did you water straight from the tap or wit water that was perhaps really cold???? a little shock like that can cause drooping and slight clawing aswell...

its my crutch so i smoke a hell of alot aswell.... when you say about the male? are you breeding it or tossing it? if your cloneing then its a full time job, raiseing mothers, cloneing then either flowering mothers or takein more clones... lots of work too it dude...
are the aldi dehumidifiers any good? are they electrical or the silca packs?

just watched the new paranormal..."the marked ones" and what a complete waste of time...
going to have to get an electrical one i`m thinking, the gel and crystal methods just don`t seem to have the punch i need, there effective as in there maxxed out with moisture ... and its not cost effective to continue there is a bit of an outlay on a decent model but it looks like i`ll have to sffer that blister.. and sure i`ve gotten away with doing it the cheap way for this long hahahahaha.....
