Droopy plant dry leaves in coco. Not looking happy.

Hey people,

My situation is that I have 1 plant which survived from 20 seeds which I'm desperate to keep happy. It was growing vigorously for a while but recently it seems limp like something is up. It has droopy like leaves and they are dry to the touch.

It is under a 300w Led in a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco and perlite. I have been feeding canna coco and rhizotonic and giving between 2 and 1 litres.

Temps are between 21 and 23C and humidity is above 65%.

I Was wondering if I should feed it more as its quite big or let it dry out more?

She was also topped and tied down the day before yesterday which is the second topping so far so perhaps stress?

Any opinions would be appreciated!

plant was growing great and then suddenly stopped - it means that either that's the "purpose" height for it and the genetical twist has happened or it needs some materials. Did you apply fertilizers?

Yeah I apply canna coco A+B and rhizotonic the Ec has been 1.2 and ph between 5.8 and 6.1.

I did leave it a day without water a couple of times as it looked like it had enough water and it was just repotted.

The strain is guzzlers so I am not sure about the genetics ect all I know lots of them were mutated and died and soo many didn't sprout at all so I'm not confident in the strain at all.

Just to clarify, changes which occurred since vigorously growing to this:

Topping,
Repotted from 3 litre to 12 litre fabric pot.
Tempreture drop. It was about 25-26 to 20 to 23c.
Watering frequency reduced from every day in the smaller pot.

Never let coco dry out.

And though water, and nutrients, are a part of the photosynthesis process, they don't directly feed the plant. Only add as needed.

My 280w light was 3’ high or so and on max and burned my clones. I put back to 25% and theyre happy again, just flipped them. I guess mine dont like to be pushed very hard in veg at all.

The excess purple stemming to me wonders if loghts pushing them too hard. I had to dim to a counterintuitive degree to see them turn around. Still about 2’ high.

Might be worth a shot to try dimming some. Sounds like a lot of ppfd for this stage. My clones are monsters too.

If you have allowed it to dry out at some point or didn’t get the coco thoroughly wet after transplant the coco could be hydrophobic. You could try getting a shallow bowl or saucer and putting a light nute and water solution in, then put the whole pot in the saucer for 30 minutes. If it soaks up a bunch of the water that was likely the problem. Just something to try that won’t hurt if it’s not the issue. Don’t let it sit in the water much longer than 30 minutes.

Hey buddy thanks can I ask what ec should I do. The solution? And I am assuming just canna coco A + B is enough?

This light won't dim unfortunately but it did make me think maybe it needs more nutrients to handle the light like mag also, I had problems with LED when temps were low before so hoping higher temps help it sort out.. Fingers crossed

What level are you feeding at now?

My temps 64-68F 50-65rh they do great just need super dim lighting. Even with warmer temps when my veg tent was in flower room 75-80F they still liked the 25% lighting with same similar light. Just a thought.

Usually now that I pay more attention, the leaf stems dont completely turn purple but its ok in flower. Its bright purple when too much light thats the first sign I look at now.
