Yeah I don't doubt it. I need to get a switchable setup soon, so I can flower this plant and veg my second grow with a MH. Can't wait to see the difference.

I have no idea what happened to my baby. I check it today and the second set of leaves on both sides (three leaves, not five yet) are drooping way down and the tips are SLIGHTLY yellow, just barley noticeable. All this happened overnight!

Okay, firstly, have you just watered them? If you have, that's probably what's causing the drooping - lack of oxygen to the root zone. Also, that soil doesn't look particularly well draining, did you use perlite in it? What are those uncomposted wood chips in that soil? Is it organic based soil? And that pot is too large for the plant that's in it :)

OK. Here are some updated pics. The "drooping" is getting much better. However the bottom leaves are getting really yellow now. Any ideas?


As for my soil, etc. Honestly I have no idea what type it is. I used some extras from a garden. I know not a good thing to do but it worked fine up until now. I think it may be starting to become a problem though.

I sometimes mist the plant. Like once every 3 feedings.

This whole grow was very unplanned. I got a fem. seed from a buddy, bought some cheap CFL's and started the journey. This first grow is completely experimental. The 2nd I am going to be doing hydro and HID lighting.

looks like its time for a feeding, or its rootbound...when was the last transplant?

I agree, I think she was root-bound. I transplanted her into a much much larger pot today with better soil, all her roots were visible all around the edge of the soil. They have some room now! Hopefully this fixes the problem!

I just logged on and read your entire journal. Way to go breakneck! You should notice an immediate difference if your girl was root bound. She will perk up overnight! When you upgrade to HID light, you will also be amazed. I switched and they really seemed to double(or maybe I was just buzzed).

Thanks bro, I appreciate it. I am stoked to see the change in growth. I have noticed she was growing slower lately hopefully the small container was the culprit! :joint::mrgreen:
