under or overwatering?

[o0xiaolei0o]

Having some issues...been about 2 months and i am about to start the flowering but i cant seem to make them happy. I tried to water them every time i stuck my finger in the soil to find out if they were dry or not and also always picking them up to see the weight change. They got droopy after i waited a few days so i watered them and the perked up....2 days later they are droopy again.....can i be under watering? do plants need to be feed every 2 days? any help would be nice.

It sounds and looks like they need water. Make sure when you water, you soak the entire root system. They shouldn't dry out as fast. I wait till completely dry, then soak roots completely. What Nutes?

Do you check PH levels? Maybe Nutes to often?Usually by the time your plants droop your medium is completely dry.(But make sure its dry.)
Make sure you completely soak your medium each time you water.. You may need more water depending on your lights. If they are High Intensity your medium will dry out pretty fast.

Yup it's probably your lights. Super soak that dirt every time. And water more often if droop continues. It's just something you gotta deal with growing indoor under those lights. Have you thought of trying a drip system? That should take care of your problem once you get it dialed in.

you know this is really just my first year of growing. Altho i have hurd a lot of drip systems i really prefer to stay away from rockwool or any type of soilless medium. I hurd that tast is better with soil and common thats the 2ed most important part next to the thc level. now i dont know if u can drip feed soil but my ears are open....educate me. (also i use rockwool for seedlings but i find it drying out way to fast and taking high matince.)

Of course you can drip feed soil. Just like a sprinkle system? Hello? Mcfly? I'm just kidding. But seriously think about a sprinkler system. One little tube going to each plant coming from a main tube running from your resAvoir(an old cooler will work) with a pump connected. Put a timer on your pump for a scheduled feeding. All your plants put on a tray of some sort with a down ward slope. At the bottom of your tray put a piece of gutter leading into your resavoir. Creatin a circle of flow. Then you can just check Ph level from the water in your resavoir. Thats probably a shitty description but if you do some research I'm sure you can find some plans.

sounds like something ill try my next round of growing....i had no idea that drip feeding would be enough for soil plants...figured it takes soaking metheds to keep them happy....anyways i believe i found the issue cause they are very happy now and nicely reaching out her leaves..... But of course there is a new issue....the top leaves are starting to turn yellow from the outside of the leaves moving to the inside....i believe its Zinc def and ill try to lower the ph....I dont know if soil makes ur ph go up but i have always done 6-6.5 with all water and nuts.

What was the issue, water? I keep PH at 5.6-6.5. So it might be a little high but it sounds right.

little Nute Burn?

little Nute Burn?

Very much could be..I noticed the tips of the leafs are dark purple towards the top and not so much on the lower leafs...but i wonder what kind of burn can it be with purple tips and yellowing top? She seems to be doing fine at the 4th day into flowering but i guess time will tell.......any suggestions?

Not sure. what the N-P-K count on your nutes? Like you said, you might want to just wait it out. Good luck and Good health with your girls man. Keep the pics coming.
