Droopy plants, Whats Wrong!?

[S P S]

Theyre about a month old and dont seem to be as big as other plants about the same age i see on here. I just transfered them and theyre looking droopy

these pics are a 2 days old, they seem to be doing a LITTLE better from sitting in the sun but not too much improvement

 

[i need help I'm rookie]

More dirt in that pot it needs room for those roots to grow down not just side ways get that thing a half inch from the top of any pot for it to have room to grow and for the sun to hit the whole plant and if the leaves droop sometimes it means water me lol

The leaves could be drooping due to under watering just the same. If they are under watered and you water them, they will pop back up within an hour or two. If they are over watered however they won't pop back up obviously, just neglect watering them for a while until the soil is dry and they seem to be looking better.

prolly overwater. Dirt looks wet and plants roots are prolly undeveloped

how can i add more soil if the plants are already in it? and ill give it a day or two of no water then water them and post pics of what happens, thanks

well you cant really add soil to it the way it is now lol. you'd have to take it out and add more in then put it back in. good old transplant in and out. however on the downside your plant looks like it's in enough shock right now so you may have to hold off on fixing that until it shows some sings of growth.

Good advice.... It's going to need all the dirt you can fit in that pot. I'd get it perked up first, though. The drooping looks a little like over water. How often are you watering it and does your pot drain well?

thanks for the help, they seem to be doing better and starting tomorrow we'll have a week of nothin but sun =)

Do they look small for month old plants? i feel like they should be bigger at this point in their lives

 

[blaze1camp]

they should be but to them being stressed it slows growth sometimes stunts it so just be careful when transplanting them i would wait until you started seeing new growth again...

So true --- any type of stress will stunt their growth. If it a month from the seed sprouting then, yes, they are quite small. Things that can stress your plants are over watering, excessive nutes, large temperature ranges, excessive topping, poor drainage, root bound issues, too much direct wind, etc. Stressing plants can also up the odds of more males so it is important to keep your babies happy as little larks at all times.

just make shur u dont transplant soon as you see some growth, let it strengthen it's self back up and hopefully they'll keep on growing

thanks, when i whent to transfer them i noticed that the roots looked like they REALLY needed more space but in the process of moving them i think i did some significant damage to the roots. After this week of sun and keeping them happy for a while should i expect to see a good amount of growth or have i slowed them for good?

 

[s7even]

time will tell just try to keep them in optimum light as much as you can hope they bounce back!

 

[S P S]

thanks a lot man, you wouldnt happen to know what strain the are would you? i got the seeds from a bag of orange haired bud in florida

 

[s7even]

your guess is as good as mine bro. I got mine from a bag of either bc kush or ww or wut ever my "friend" had on hand at the time

Not sure what you mean by "significant," but do keep in mind that marijuana is basically a weed. It tends to be very resilient. Time will tell, but if you are in good soil, don't over water, and give them good light like the real sun then they will rebound pretty fast. You should have them back on track within a week or two.

when would you suggest i water and how much each time? every other day?

Watering depends on many factors from temperatures, humidity, size of pot, and age of plant. For example, I have plants in the 5th week of flowering in 5 gal pots and they require about 1/3 a gallon every other day. They are very thirsty at this stage. I also have plants two weeks old that I only water lightly on top of the soil every 4 or 5 days because the 5 gal pots are still wet at the bottom after 2 weeks.

Here is the key. You want to let your soil dry out almost completely and then water. A lot of folks say stick you finger in the dirt and if it is dry 2 inches down then water, but in very young plants, and in larger pots, that may not be wise. Go to Lowes and get one of these Moisture Meters for a few bucks: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=251959-83666-1220&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3028417&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=sim. They also sell them at Home Depot and any garden store. I paid less than 10 bucks for the one that reads both moisture and PH level. Keep lifting the pots when they are wet and dry and use that meter along with the finger in the dirt method and in no time you will be able to hit the mark perfect.
