Hi all, HELP:wall: is my first grow they are 19 days old and every thing was going fine. Yesterday i repoted them into biger pots and started them off on the 600w light (ive kept in a good few feet away as advised) when i check this morning the bigger branches on all of them have drooped really badly (sorry about pic its not very good). Does ayone know whats wrong with them?20042011.jpgare they o.k? and how can i sort them?
thanks

As long as you watered them in well and didn't mangle the roots during transplant they should be fine, just give 'em a few days. Could be adjusting to the new light as well, what were they under before you moved them to hps? If you continue to see the same drooping under the hps over the next few days, you could try moving 'em back to their former light, but I'd just wait and see at this point.

Cheers mate, repoting went well think i may have not watered then enough on tranfer as last time i over watered, ive just given them a good water hopefully that will sort them out. They were under a 125 blue/red cfl before but after putting them in bigger pots it didbt cover them enough

I wouldn't worry yet mate, my plants tend to droop for a few days after I xplant them, they're most likely just recovering. However, I would add that I not sure what stress xplanting and new more powerful lights would do to them... they might take a bit longer to recover, not sure...

To end on a positive note, cannabis is a very resilient plant. It is a weed after all, have faith bro!

What soil are you using, when are you starting nutes and which ones?

I was worried that might have over done it changing lights and repotting im hoping all will be ok there is a 5th little one thats not in the picture that i watered more by accident thats fine so hopefully its the watering, Im growing in canna coco i started with 1ml coco a&b today and 2ml of rhizotonic (as it says it help root stress from repotting) is there anything else you can suggest? as its my 1st grow im pretty cluless

Mine do that as well when going from cfl to hps, even at a 2ft height. They also do that when they need water... I've never used coir but I've heard that you can't overwater it, (unless you let it collect) and you have to water it more often than soil. This is because coir will only hold a certain water/air ratio, and the rest will run off. Has that been your experience?

Nah you're doing well mate, all I can suggest for now is patience. We all want to do the best by our plants and it's sad to see them droop, but give it time to adjust, she'll be fine in time :)
Coco eh? Never used it, so I can't advise much. Apologies mate, well that and I'm on my first grow too! About to go into flower

You gonna keep a grow journal? you might as well keep us updated in this thread if anything. GOOD LUCK!!! :bigjoint:

Ive found that ive only need'ed to water them every other day so far but since they've been under the 600w they are dryin out more, The leafs did go abit droopy when before.jpgi watered quite abit to start with. Here is yesterday and this morning photos there about 12 hours apart and you can see the extent of the droopafter.jpg. Just hope there allright:wall:

The little one in on the left in the first picture is still ok but i did give her extra watering by accident
