First Grow - plants are six weeks old, and one plant has droopy leaves. Please help!!

Hello, this is my first grow, and I'm having so much fun watching my girls grow!! One of my plants has a lot of droopy leaves though (the plant on the front left), and I'm trying to figure out why. Am I over-watering, under-watering, or what? I give each plant 1/4 gallon of water every three days, and I'm using Fox Farms Big Bloom plant food at 3/4 strength in every watering. The temp stays around 80 degrees, and I'm currently on 20/4 lighting cycle. The humidity is very low, so maybe that's a factor in the droopiness? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

I would give each less water and maybe more often as you want an optimal level of moisture verses a heavy saturation . Water can make a crop and it can break a crop

ps . your doing a great job and they look fairly healthy , just pay attention and they will speak for themselves .

So you think I should water them more often, like every other day? For some reason, I always thought the droopiness was from too much water.

Water with less volume and more often , you are allowing it to dry out a bit then drowning them slightly is all my friend .. Excessive thickness of leaf tissue indicates such along with the general droopy look

Those plants look nice!

There is one droopy one that looks a bit overwatered.

Different strains of weed prefer different nute/water regimens.

I think you are good just need to figure out what that one girl is not liking. I'm thinking she is maybe not growing as fast and/or transpiring as much moisture out of her system, for whatever reason. She does not want or need as much water as her cohorts.

Ah.. Just my opinion

Yer good though in my opinion

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you! Also, do they look ready to take into the flowering stage?

It all has to do with oxygen levels at the root zone and if you get it right they will stand on end and grow even faster

I would veg them another few weeks while working the canopy as you could yield much more this way . Get ready though as once into flowering they will explode in growth

You can take into flower whenever you want. You need to do some reading on your own concerning flowering, can be from seed, or you can veg for 4 months, depends on your setup and goals.

the plants look very healthy, alot of times the lower sets of leaves may point down or droop a little as the new chutes form at the top
