So... I have 4 NL plants about 25 days old, 4 days into flowering. The leaves are starting to droop on the plants, two badly. Some at the bottom are dying off too and I'm not sure what to do. Please help!

Those containers look small... your girls are needing some more juice. What size are those anyway?

I would pack in MORE medium to your pots. I would water more frequently. Find the right time when you NEED to water again...learn the 'cycle' of your plants needs.

Pot size does not determine plant size - availability of water and nutrients does (as well as the many other factors contributing to an ideal growing environment). As long as you are an attentive grower you can determine much about your plant.

okay thanks for the advice. I am a very attentive and enthusiastic grower as its my first grow, I think I was just worried about overwatering so I wasn't giving them enough. Watered last night and they bounced right back up, looking very well again. Thanks for the help Ruiner.

Definitely looks like they're super thirsty. What are you giving them for nutrients?

I say just top the pots with compost and water more.

I'd also add 2 teaspoons of high P bat guano to each pot with the compost and ditch the 10-20-10 until the plant shows it needs it.

Mulching with coco \ something else will reduce water evaporation and you will need to water less often.
