Why are my leaves droopy and bright greenish yellow?

My autoflower is on day 35 and I just did a heavy defoliation for the first time because she was so bushy. Her leaves leaves are little worse now because she’s stressed but they were still like that before I pruned her.

she’s got plenty of water and organic nutrients. This is my first grow ever.I just want her to be praying!
any ideas On why this is? And advice on how to fix?

thanks

Looks overwatered. How often?

I second over watering .

How ur temperature make sure its between 24 30

Me too third over watering, what light you got

I haven’t water her in about a week and just gave her half a gallon today, I notice that there’s brown spots on some of the top leaves now, I ground up some eggshells and mixed in some vinager and epsome salt, I’m assuming it’s a a cal-mag deficiency but could also be a potassium, I’m not sure any help on what I should do would be greatly appreciated! She’s close to day 40 autoflower and I feel like the flower growth is to slow. It’s very much more mature in some places then the other as well. I also think I may have over did it on the Lst and there are to many tops for it to have good buds on, do you think this is the case. Thank you

What are you growing in and what is the pH of your water?

I’m using 75% fox farm 25% happy frog and some perlite, I’ve been using the earth dust top dressing for food and watering sometimes with molasses mixed in using purified water gallon waters which I’ve tested and has a ph around 6.5 I was thinking maybe it’s because it’s not getting any micro nutrients because of my water but purified water still has some minerals in it i thought.

autos are classic for having staggered bud ripeness
looks like you have some fox farm ph blues. as do most who use it.
toss that junk

Between 50-55 humidity and 75-85 f

If your history of watering is every week in history then it must be nuts or soil. They ain;'t happy. I am guessing you water too much historically maybe every 2-3 days for this kinda look. After watering is consitent let these dudes fix the nuts issue that needs lowered for sure to stop the stress. then slowly ramp up to what these dudes say. My guano dialed in never looks like this. good luck

Are you saying the ph is to high? And when you say toss that are you saying there’s no hope for to give me a decent yield? It’s only like day 40 for her and before this came up she was doing good I thought. Do you really think she can’t come back from this? She’s growing really slowly now. But she is still growing. Is there really no hope? I was thinking I should use tap water for once in case she’s missing any micro nutes from the purified water and leave it out to remove the chlorine and add ph down to it to bring the ph down in the soil. Appreciate the feed back

well i wouldnt be able to give you a solid answer unless i was able to do some tests. what i am saying is fox farm is junk and dont use it anymore. i wouldnt toss your plant as you prob put alot of time and effort into it. try your best to get it back on track and use it as a learning exp

It’s sold out on Amazon but other then the bulk I believe i got I pretty good deal for 50$ need to upgrade though since I plan on doing 3-4 plants in a 3 gallon pot instead of one big plant in a 5 gallon pot

what are we talking about in terms of 'purified water'? brita? ro?

bro that light is pulling 83w.
i wouldnt even use that as side lighting.
you need a better light. 100%
if youre looking for cheaper decent leds look up aglex or phlizon. its not what id recommend usually but if youre looking for a decent cheap light then....ya
cheap lights use cheap drivers and cheap leds that dont produce strong enough light in proper spectrum and very low penetration eg par drops out fast. dont beleive a word led companies say like 1000w equivalent.
the numbers generally beside the name of the light are just bs numbers used for model numbers. not wattage equiv.
the light you have is likley the equivalent of a 100w hid. if that.
instead. look up lights that use reputable drivers (meanwell) and good leds. (samsung, bridgelux, epistar,) look for an led that runs at a lower % then what its rated for. eg. a 3watt led running at 3w is running 100% power making the light hotter than it should be and in turn itll burn out fast. look for an led like 10w running at like 6w each.
eg dual leds @10w running 60% power 6w each so 12w per led. instead of your 1led running 100% @ 3w. dig it?
theres alot of misinformation about leds. and many people dont understand the diff between a 1000 dollar led vs a 50 dollar led. trust me. theres a diff.

"I ground up some eggshells and mixed in some vinager" For this to work properly the eggshells need to be powdered, like out of a blender, and it takes 2-4 weeks for the process. Curious about PH with this? Maybe dry her out and flush? Good luck man, these guys will set ya up. TC

also. if you're feeding heavy with low wattage the plant literally doesnt have the energy to use all those nutes and they will become toxic in the soil causing ph swings and lockouts.

publix grocery store purified water

You can kill the plant by giving too much love. a seedling needs some moisture but don't overdo it. get a old spray bottle and use it to water.
