Retard droopy plant

Don't really get this girl at all. She is an autoflower. Prob about 2 weeks ago she started showing signs of nitrogen toxicity. I flushed her like five days ago and she still doesn't look amazing. I never had a plant do this before. She was in the dark, so thats why she is so droopy. She is droopy a little when the light turns on as well. Im not overwatering her, hell the other three aren't acting like her. Have any of you had this type of issue. She's in a 3 gallon pot, fox farm happy frog soil, no added nutes until I flushed her. She is soooooo annoying. She has signs of calcium deficiency, but that was prob because of the nitrogen toxicity.

Tell us how you've been watering it. How long has it been in that particular pot of HF? Did you add perlite at all?

That medium looks pretty dry. How much water are you giving them per watering and how often?

I was busy yesterday, sorry guys. Im using fox farm happy frog, so it does have some perlite in it. They are in 3 gallon pots. I give them a gallon of water when I water them. I wait usually a week or a week and 2 days. No other plant had this issue before.

Yeah, it does have perlite in it, but you should definitely add a couple handfuls anyway on your next run. Try watering half a gallon instead of a full gallon, works well for me in my 3gal pots. This will allow it to dry out quicker so you get more frequent wet and dry cycles...if I added a full gallon they would be sitting in runoff for quite some time, and would end up looking overwatered like all three of yours do.

They dont have much runoff usually. I water them on a saucer, and dump extra runoff down sink. Thats the weird part.

I believe the necrotic lesions are showing a phosphorus deficiency, not calcium. Your root system isn't developed enough to sustain the amount and frequency of your watering regimen.

Phosphates will not be taken up if the substrate is too wet and/or cold. Also your roots won't grow well if always in soggy soil. Cannabis needs a wet/dry cycle to enourage the roots to grow in search of water.

It's very possible that this one seed is not as vigorous as the others. Seed bank are notorious for mailing F1 seeds, unless otherwise stated in the seeds description.
F1 seeds vary greatly in vigor and growth characteristics. If you want genetics you can count on, breed your own seeds and make s1 or bx. Or purchase them as such but be prepared to pay a hefty price.

Let this plant dry out, if you can get her closer to the light (hid, T5) the heat generated from your lamps will warm her and she will transpire more and help to dry out the soil. Do not treat every plant the same when your growing unstable genetics.
