So I’ve been growing these for about a month now and I’ve ran into a few problems already. I was over watering to start with so I believe I’ve corrected that and I’m now watering every three days but now I’m seeing a lot of light green growth so this morning when I fed them I added some more nutes and I came home to my girls just looking really sad. I’m looking for some advice here. I’m using just normal potting soil from the local hydro store with no added nutes, I just changed out my blurple led for a 250 watt from the wall bloom plus 2500. For nutes I’m using medi one and pro cal. And my ph has been around the 6.2 to 6.5 range. My humidity is quite low here at like 35 percent and my temp is around 76f. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Raise your light, raise your lights on temp to 80-83 and get that ph up in the 6.5 to 7.2 range...ensure you have decent airmovement and lots of air exchange.
Good luck.

Could be a combination of nutrient issues and light intensity. From the looks of it the drooping is more likely a result of light stress. You mention you barely switched your light source. What percentage is it on right now? Is the light dimmable? If so, dim it down to 20-25% and wait a few days she should perk back up. Light stress can also cause symptoms that resemble deficiencies as well but you it could very well be a nitrient issue combined. Ph closer to 7 is ideal for soil. Also water when the pot feels light.

As well, keep the rootzone in a happy temp margin with lights out as well.
I keep day/ night temps almost identical, zero problems with good growth rate.
Lots of airflow.

I did just switch from the king led 1200 to the bloom plus 2500. I used the adjustment knob and brought it down to around 25 percent I believe now. I’ll up the ph next watering and see what happens. Thanks for the insight!!
I raised the light and dimmed it a bit now. It’s at about 20-25 percent now and 24 inches from the tops of the plants. Do you think changing from the blurple to the full spectrum could have anything to do with it?

Just give your girls some time to recover...2-3 days.
Any time you have to make adjustments, give it time to show results b4 you change too many variables at once, and not know what the real culprit was.
Good luck.
