hey guys. Ive a plant that the fan leaves are drooping and are folding in like a taco.
the plant is over all pretty damn healthy, its grown 6 inches in about 5 days. Since i switched to 12/12 (9/28/11)

I noticed it was doing it before I switched to 12/12
I cant find any similar problem when I search the treads and use google.
I thought a MG deficiency but Epsom salts didnt seem to fix it.

Lighting: 400 watt HPS with 3 26watt CFLs (1-6400k. 2- 2700k)

temps: On- 79-81. Off- 68-75

Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest.

Nutes: Foxfarm grow big, tiger bloom.

Plants are about 70 days old.

Oh and its only in the middle of the plant really

I dont use a ec meter or pH meter
I use drops and before I water I have the water at 6.5

The other plants are fine. I cant get it any closer with out it burning one of the tops :/
the light is about 6" from the top
and I water about every 2-3 days and feed every other watering with normal strength.

you over fertilised your weed. lower your dosage slightly... or it could be too much nutrient accumulating, simply flush.

I thought it would be burning? there is no sign of tips burning.

I just want a for sure answer before I go about doing things what might only make it worse

you didnt fertilize them enough for them to show burns.. its just a little too much nitrogen thats all

could be to much water too , i would let the soil dry out alittle bit , looks like u use buckets so u shouldn't need to water every 2-3 days try going 4-5 , by leting them dry out alittle, makes them thrive . while u are leting them dry out spray the leaves with ph water to flush some of the nitrogen out , then flush the medium out .. hope it helps

before I swiched to 12/12 I was only watering like 600mL every 2-3 days. and even then the plant was still doing the drooping.

and like i said before, its only in the middle of the plant. the bottom fan leaves are normal same with the new growth

i would spray with st8 water ph6 twice a day for 3 -4 dayz then flush really good (3 times the water the container would hold) with a very mild micro nuti and 1/4 bloom food ...

So ya watering every other day or 3rd day. Are you flushing a little out the bottom?
When you water is the dirt dried out on top 2-3"? I go 5 days then water'em good!
So ya 8 days into flowering this can be included in your post so I don't have to look at the calendar~:lol:
Have ya just fed'em with Tiger Bloom and this happen?
Did you check the ph of it?
TB will lower it into the low 5.0's~

I water every 2-3 days. And I make sure water come out the bottoms.
I stick my finger about 1" down to see if its dry or moist. I wait until its dry.
I have fed them 1 feeding of TB.
I did check it after I added the TB and I brought it about up to about 6.5

youre looks pretty normal, give it 12 hours itll be normal again

Well Im not worried about the droop, its the folding in like a canoe part that worries me ): its still doing it, I havent watered for 3 days now, and it seems to be improving?
or i just think it is. There are about 3 leaves that are doing it really bad, like in the picture I posted
