Running 2 photos. This is the oldest one at about 5 weeks from seed. What’s causing her to droop like this. She was just watered yesterday and I don’t believe I’ve overwatered. She usually only looks like this when she’s thirsty which is not the case here. No sign of any pests of any sort or disease. my other plant (Wedding Cake BFS is right next to her and is looking great, watered at the same time).

-Fox Farm Ocean Forrest 60%, Happy Frog 20%, perlite 20%
- Using Distilled Water ph’d to 6.5-6.7
-Havent feed her anything just distilled water
-Temps range from 70-78 F
-Humidity 55-67%
-LED Mars Hydro 300 true watt full spectrum @ 24” from canopy and set to 50% power.

Any input is appreciated... please don’t tell me to kill it lol

Check again and make sure they're not thirsty.

I gave her about 1/3 gallon just yesterday with just a tad of runoff. Running fabric pots so when I say a tad I mean there was just signs of the bottom of the pots being wet . Soil is still wet on top, not muddy

Feed from the bottom. Let them suck up what they want and then add a bit extra.

when i get droop its almost always a watering or light intensity issue for me. If my LED plants look unhappy i will switch them to t5s for a few days and water em nice and heavy, it usually does the trick

I’m almost done a full cycle with LED for the first time. Mars Hydro TSL2000. My plants didn’t respond as expected until I raised the light considerably higher than I had it, and cranked it up to 100%. I think 30”+ from the canopy. The plants loved it. I kept lowering the light as they exploded with growth, it was definitely what they needed. My plants looked like this. It might be time to repot also

Planning on repotting into a 5 gallon fabric with all Ocean Forest and perlite before flowering . So about a week and a half from now. I’ve also got the TSL2000 from Mars so I think I’m gonna raise the light another foot and crank it up a bit at a time and see how she responds

Back the ppm down if feeding. Or raise the ph to 6.6- 6.8. Should correct in 3-4 days.

And light does this when hot nutes. LOL. Otherwise just known as common clawing. On that line now.

Havent feed at all. Was planning on reporting into a 5 gallon before flowering in just under 2 weeks from now with all Ocean Forest and petite. Was thinking I could get away with not feeding until a little later in flowering when I’ll give bloom boosters. I’ll ph my next watering to 6.8

I assume it is just on the edge of real nute burn from soil. Bounce your ph above 6.4 and below 7.0. It will even out. And use a lower N value flower bloom fert. Plenty of N now. LOL.

Someone here posted this advice before me. I was really happy with the results :)

Sound in principle. If only FF had any principles.
I now avoid. But I suggest a similar mix to this if you honestly want water and watch. The amendments are Boogie brew tea"dry", boogie black and Coast of maine lobster kelp fert.

I’m definitely gonna build my own medium next grow around. Got an awesome hydro shop here locally with all the fixins. I’m thinking fox farm is okay but I want something I can just water and watch grow

Avoid the hydro "price". A bit of reading and you can replicate my mix easily from a bulk landscape supply for pennies when compared. The only snag I have is the peat. Must be from the great lakes states within 25 miles of the coast. And SW MICHIGAN is black gold. $2 a bag. LOL.
