Droopy Leaves AND Some Bottom Yellow Leaves

[Forzaitaly1]

Just want to share some pix with you guys see what you think of the plants and the growroom area?!!!. 23 plants in a 6'L4'W7'H. This is my first grow after 5 years. Some plants have bottom yellow leaves(But not dry). they are all in 3 gallon containers. The taller ones are OGs and 4 weeks in veg(clones) a couple Banana OGs(2.5 weeks old) 1 Green Ice and 1 G-13(both 2.5 weeks-clones) and about 10 Purple Crush(5 weeks old from Seedling)
I water every 3 day because containers are big and hold good amount of water, and i used Regular SuperGrow soil from target .
Water Ph: 5.9
Lighting:18/6 . 2 400 lights(1 HPS 1 MH) , 1 4ft 2 tubes fluorescent and 6 CFL high Lumens(about 75 wt each)
Temp: Low:61-63 High:75-78
Humidity: Low:35% Hight:70%
1 fan blowing in the growroom just too keep air moving.
Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions,,,,, By the way the droppy leaves plants, the droopy leaves are kindda dry not sure why but definitely not heat. Thank U all.

Here are the pix They all seem to be doing fine except for the one or two with droopy leaves. Bottom yellow leaves on OGs are drying and falling and new ones are growing, but on the smaller plants they dont dry really they are just yellow(1 or 2 leaves on 3 of my plants) maybe lack of potassium???? I feed them fox farm grow big evey watering(every 2-3 day) wut ya think???? the interesting part is that all the other strains r doing good except 3 Purple Crush out of 11 of them those are the ones with droopy leaves and some yellowing. I feed them all the same thing and same lighting same soil and so on.

O BTW, OGs in the back are from 18 to 21 inches tall other ones go from 4.5" to 12", Im waiting till they all get to a minimum of 8" so I can start flowering. thats y I got 2 light at different heights in there. I'm thinking of getting another 600wt or 400, should I spend the money ????? Or am I doing fine with the 2 HPS and MH and 6CFLs and 2 4' florascent????? Again my first time growing INDOOR. My last grow about 5 years ago was outta plants that were completely developed. about 3.5 pounds out of 6 plants... And I just let them chill out in the yard and gave them a lil nuts and ferts EVERY NOW AND THEN.

No Idea what I was doing at first, so just planted the seeds and left them by the window, After reading some threads realized, that wasnt gonna do it especially I saw the babied being so skinnny and tall and a couple of them fell and had to use matches for support. So bought a 400HPS then I started getting more into the indoor growing thing and bought more clones. Now I had tooooo many plants not enough space or light and the temp was rising up to 89-90 degrees bcs of the HPS. So bought a High output inline CANFAN for 180 (440 cfm) and some nuts(grow big & Tiger Bloom& Sea weed Nuts. Ph meter and thermometer and a fan. built a bigger box, got some MYLAR instead of crappy Aluminum foil, bought another 400 hps/mh and the fluorescent all for $140. These r some pix of babies at 1 week old and the grow box wanna be in closet and some from the box with the HPS light before I ended up with 23 plants/clones.

Thanks man, Actually tonight Im gonna put my plants through 24 hours of dark then I start the 12 hr cycle. I just picked up 2 600 watt lights and retired 1 of the previous 400s so now I'm working with 2 600 and a 400, 1600 watts total. Its sweet bcs it's super bright BUT so much HEAT. My HO canfan was gr8 for 1 600 and a 400(perfect) but with another 600 on the way the temp is rising up to 85 and humidity went down to %35... So I'm now thinking of getting either another inline fan or maybe a blower fan to put on the other end of the lights... I'll post some pix of the newer setup soon

did u fit that fan on to the light hood yourself? ( in your very first pic) or did it come fitted? it looks like a pc fan. cool idea, pardon the pun. my hood gets that fuckin warm i'd have thought a pc fan would've melted.

Droopy leaves and yellowing of lower leaves sounds like over-watering, but your soil doesn't look over-watered at all, and the plants dont appear very droopy in the pics. Its possible you are under-feeding them. My biggest plant developed nitrogen and potassium deficiencies because I was under-feeding it. One full-strength feeding and the problem went away, although I did lose the affected leaves.

No It's actually a used hood that I picked up(I shouldn't have) and yes , it did have a little pc fan which worked gr8 but you can only do that if your space needs to be warmed up bcs it just kicks all the air from inside the hood back to the room, Or use some sort of ducting. I already replaced that thing with 2 other hoods that are HUGE...

U know, it can't be overwatering because I dont do that, It maybe the nuts but still I feed them fox farm grow big thats got some nuts in it, Today I'm starting to givem bunch of other stuff(Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom,Seasameand later:Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching) bcs I'm entering flowering tonight so I wanna make sure they got enough water and nuts to go 3 days with no light or water. I just hope I don't get any pollen on my females bcs I havent been able to determine some plants' sex yet. BTW the DROOPINESS could it be the heat??? Bcs now my rooms temp is about 83-85 But the upper leaves show signs of curling up(caving up) like a bowl. I know thats probably heat but I don't understand Y bottom leaves r droopy too???????

 

[DaveCoulier]

No clue if heat can cause droopiness as well.

I wouldn't worry about males pollinating any females. My plants had a 24 hour dark period before going into flowering, and two days later the suspected male still isn't showing full sex yet, so dont fret that.

Thanks man, Its my first time growing INDOOR so as you can see pretty new here too

So today is the third day into flowering, I left the lights off for about 30 hours when I went to check On them during the 30 hours,,, temp looked a little too low(55-60) that was happening for probably about 20 hours of that 30 hours. but when I turned the lights back on, plants looked awesome and much better than before.(NO droopiness, Deep green color) So after I turned back on the lights within 12 hours they started to droop again, But this time not only droopy but they are curling down and feeling KINDDA DRY. I had 2 plants that this happened to them about a month ago, leaves were always curling down and feeling dry. Those plants are still alive but not in the best shape... So What do you guys think the problem is? I water every 3 days. Nuts every other watering(all fox farm products) water ph:5.8. temp around 78-80(dark or light). Here r some pictures. The first few I took right after I turned the lights on and the others this morning take a look and let me know please. thank you...

 

[Forzaitaly1]

Maybe It was due to the sudden temp change???? from average mid 70s down to mid 50s???? Now back up in the 70s again...

 

[Forzaitaly1]

Here are some Pix From 4 days into flowering

 

[Forzaitaly1]

the first pic was taken on 12/10/09 the second pic is from the same plants 7 days later, Got a lot bushier and grow about 4-5 inches each.
I wish I cloned that G-13(third pic) Such a nice plant. Sometimes I can't even get to the stem because its so short and bushy.

 

[martyhowy]

They all look fine so far. Good job

I'm having kinda the same problem. Not so much droopy, yet.. but definately yellowing.

I've been watering them every couple of days with a 1/2 strength fertilizer. Finished that gallon off and made this one full strength, so I don't know if that'll make a difference. They're in fresh potting soil, so i'd imagine there's plenty of nutrients already there.

It could possibly be the temp. It's a stealth grow box made out of a rubbermaid storage tub turned on its side. It gets rather chilly in the room where the grow box is.. but if i turn the ventilation off it gets too hot, so It stands to reason it's keeping it rather warm in there regardless.


Anyone have any ideas?

The new growth is deep green and healthy looking.. the yellow leaves have only appeared within the last 2 days and they've been watered recently..

saweetdaddy looks like nute burn to me. i would flush it real good and see if that helps. always takes care of any yellowing or drooping problems with my plants
