I’m new to growing indoor so I’m a little shakey with nutrients that why i originally posted to get help from people who were generous enough to give me help. You don’t need to. Here’s more info I’m growing in soil and there regular feminized seeds. There beginning to droop I just flushed them for the first time and will now use FloraNova Bloom going forward.

You are talking about the Lucas formula it seems but your link is hydro and he is doing soil or "Drain to Waste" and his plant has issues

Yes, I was referencing the lucas formula and offered a link from a quick search about using it, as an example. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear about that.

My guess is if you would incorporate the right amount of RapidStrart you make better use of your Grow and the plant will likely be able to be pushed with the other additive for example. The other thing you should do at the same time is learn how to water properly for good soil management.

He's doing a flush, too much Grow in the soil probably Nitrogen toxicity

Ok I’ll chime in too.
Dank do you PH your water? 6.4-6.8 is a good start with water going in. Plants will be much greener than that for nitrogen toxicity. When you said “ 3 cups of water a day” do you mean cups or SOLO cups? Either one is wrong or too much... pending on your temps you should have to water but every 3rd to 4th day. I grow in soil too but don’t use bottles. I use meal.
My advice, go buy an all purpose dry meal like DOWN TO Earth’s all purpose... 12$
Ph your water and give it to them every third day.... 24oz say on Thursday and then again on Sunday. Use the meal as your feed, don’t worry about veg food or flowering food...... we have to get your plants to finish and teach you how to do something correct. No sarcasm. Your plant looks pretty good but don’t water so often. Good luck, pay attention..... look at grow journals and take notes so you know who your dealing with

Ya I wasn’t able to buy a PPM meter after the tent as I had no more money. I hate to see a good plant wasted to I was much better at growing outdoor. I have been testing the Ph and adjusting it with a kit it’s been around 6.5-7.0. I added a teaspoon of nutrients to each gallon as the directions on the bottle told me to do. I was recommend FloraNova Grow and Bloom by a guy at the hydroponics store it was the fertilizer I used a different fertilizer for my outdoor. Indoor is much different and all I want to do is save my plants as they’re droopy. Now I’m thinking that I shouldn’t of flushed them.

It’s a very small cup about 2in by 4in. thank you all so much for the advice. I just checked on the plants and they’re leaves are back up no longer droopy. I’ll do what all of you said starting with not giving it the FloraNova. I’ll give an update in a couple of days or if anything changes.

Some basic advice. Thank you sir. I'm of the opinion that you are over watering at the wrong ph. Possibly with distilled or R/O water. Basic info adds up to provable conclussions.

So I should not water it with distilled water because when I was first learning how to grow indoor they told me to.

Dank, distilled water has no minerals in it. Its use will lead to cal/mag deficiency. Keep it simple. Water with spring water or de-chlorinated tap water at 6.2 -6.5 ph. What are you using. How much water how often in what size and type of pot?

I’ve been using distilled water from a gallon with a teaspoon of FloraNova Grow. I was watering everyday to every other day with small amounts of water.

The plants are in a 3 gallon mesh pot.

Apologies. The distilled water is the root of your problem. Get some spring water at the cheap store. Ph it to 6.2. and water your plants 1 cup of ph'd water at a time at the stem. About 15 minutes between cups. Is going to take a little while. stop watering when you see run off coming out of the pot. Then in half an hour drain or remove any over flow or drainage . Then lift your plant pot. This is the weight of a satured pot. Get used to that weight and do not water aain until the pot feels light to you. You also need to mix a teaspoon of epsoms salt to a gallon of spring water. then mist your plants with it until they are wet and starting to drip. No ph is neccessary on these fo;iar sprays. Next we need to address medium.
