I think it is from spraying their leaves. Have you been spraying them? I wouldn't worry about it. But at the same time I wouldn't mist your plants unless you are foliar feeding

i am spraying them once a day with a standerad wilkinsons plant sprayer containing 1ltr water and 2ml rhizotonic.was gna do this until flower is this wrong and could you explain a little better please m8 about the droopiness. also i am using canna terra professional as my grow medium which contains 2-3 weeks of fertilizer already so does this mean i dont have to use any of my bio vega nutes ?? i have repotted once at about 13 days old with canna mixed with added perlite and will do the final repot when they reach 5-6" and as i`ll obviously be using fresh compost iguess it will have again all the nutes for another 2-3 weeks ?? can anybody help with this??

I wouldn't spray everyday - there is just no need and it actually slows growth. Plants breath through their leaves and drink through their roots. They can drink through their leaves but it slows down the rate at which they breath which slows down the rate at which they drink through their roots (it's essentially a syhon system and you're plugging one end). In addition to slowing transpiration water logging the leaves adds quite a bit of weight to them. The additional weight and the slowing of the plants breathing causes the leaves to droop.

I would use the amount the instructions recommend but I would add it to your regular watering versus applying it to the leaves. Or perhaps apply it to the leaves but just once every week or two. I generally ween off the B12 midway through veg.

think i`ll just keep my diluted bottle with 1ltr water and 2ml rhizo but maybe add another 1ml rhiz and only spray once a week. my friend told me he uses it every day so i have been slightly confused

It's just trace minerals and a couple vitamins... There's no way the plant needs that everyday. If you water it into the soil it'll be more slowly absorbed but even then constant use is kind of crazy if there are no problems with the plant. VB12 is a mild root growth stimulant that most people only use in the very begging in the form of SuperThrive. In the future I would recommend amending your soil directly with kelp meal (also contains a mild growth stimulant) and then just add a couple drops of superthrive or rhyzo to your regular watering. Should save you some money and some time and your plants imo will like it a bit more than the constant spraying.

Sounds like a plan to cut it back to once a week though. And not trying to step on your friends toes, just my experience.
