What is wrong with this plant!?

So here's what I have going.

Under 600w adjusted spectrum HPS magnetic ballast.

Strain is bagseed, I identified a fem seed among what I was schmoking.....

tell me, what do you think is wrong with this plant..... (see photo)

it has A: sagged, and B: seems not to be using much of the water it has been fed with. I am employing a heater to warm, and candles for CO2.

Standby for updates and big respect to all rollitup.org krew and fam! Thankyou for any suggestions you have!

EDIT: we have about 5-6 weeks to go flower cycle, By the way. for 8-10 weeks flower.

First and foremost
Lose the candles
A fire is far worse than expensive electric bills
It looks like it grew slowly and may actually be root bound
Guessing you tried to grow with minimal lighting as well
How many times have you let it wilt from underwatering ?
Finally what medium are you growing in
Hopefully not some coco/peat mix?

I would cut the heating out, your hid lamp should provide enough heat energy. Also the candles arnt needed the fresh air and being indoors should provide enough co2. The plant cant take advantage of higher co2 level unless its in peak form and gets higher ppfd light levels such as those coming from some of the high powered led lights.

Can you tell us what the plant is in, as in soil, coco ect. Also when healthy how often was the medium getting to the point it was dry enough to feed again. Looks like it might be a little stressed cuz you have had it way close to the light than necessary.

ok. loose the candles. ok, loose the heater....

light is 600w HPS in 1.2m x 1.2m, or 4x4 foot.

ok it's probably root bound... worth repotting?

it's been watered but has seemed to stall in terms of it uses less water than it was a few weeks ago. I had put it down to temps you see. it has never wilted properly speaking.

the medium is cheap potting soil with added silica in the form of diatomaceous earth.

it was a little stressed from light exposure, you can see from that taller bud has burned.

Thanks for replying guys!

Can you also tell us the feed strengths you have used over the last two weeks. Have you by any chance been feeding high levels excessively as doing that can lock out the plant and cause conditions i

Dont repot now its in flower and stressed, you will only cause it more issues and slow things down more. Work with what you have now .

yeah i thought just keep running with it.

I'm pretty sure it has not been over fetilized, there has been 0% tip burn on all leaves. However there may be a nutrient lockout going on.

It may be I have over fertilized trace elements over the last week. The water tray at the bottom is evaporating very slowly it seems.

I will refrain from watering and give it like a week i think. I actually went to the length of manually lifting the pot and draining the water tray this last week, I may do it again so i dont get any root issues. But the plant seems to be hanging in there you know?

EDIT: i should really just defoliate the yellow leaves and chill on watering

Dont keep water underneath now. Empty that out always. Go top feed wen it dries. Bottom feeding in a lot of basic soil keeps it too wet, it will cause rot. Just top feed wet, dry, wet, dry now. Feed half strength nutrients and slowly build back up. Poke a few holes in the soil with a thin pencil, not too many but a few, it will help get air to all the roots and help the soil dry abit faster. Get it to the finish line now and on your next one you will be better. Good luck.

thankyou! that's fantastic advice. I may use my secret method of watering with carbonated water to break the soil up a little.

i will fert sparingly! we're now only bulking for the final buds so. Thanks again!

I will hit this channel up in future for updates and photos so stay tuned!

peace

That's a complete waste of time and will not accomplish what you're suggesting.

Looks over watered for its entirety
Your keeping it to wet
Drowning roots
Destroying uptake
Messing up ph and ec

Start with a slurry test and see what you have at this point and act accordingly. If you have killed off her roots at this point your flowers are just gonna mature not really grow

Ok so soda water no go.

Overwatering. ok. I noticed the plant was cool until I over fertilized it one time. Then it would not evaporate its reserve of water as fast.

buds do seem to be growing daily, anyway it's a good sign. I'll keep you guys posted.

Hydrogen peroxide 3% 1 part with 1 part water give some oxigen to the roots.
