Wondering if this is over watering or what?

image.jpg image.jpg Just switched this batch into the flower room, and I swear came back the next day and they were mostly drooping like this. Thought it was because my lights were too close but, raised them and gave it another day and they still look the same. Looks like over watering to me, but also looks like I have something else going on. Some kind of burn or deficiency. Let me know what you think. It's weird, some of the plants weren't affected at all, some look way better than others and everything In veg still looks great

Looks like over watering to me, i think you are on the right track have you considered using a LCD moisture / Soil PH meter ?

I agree, you can see the imbalance/lockout on the lower leaves in the 2nd pic. What damaged some of those leaves? Pests?

What nutes and how much are you using? PH?

Are you feeding cal/mag every watering? Looks like it could be cal/mag toxicity. Google 'cal/mag toxicity pics' and tell me what you think. I think they were also over watered.
I might put them back in veg until this is sorted out, if it were up to me.

Haven't flipped the schedule yet but there just in the room. Haven't fed cal mag in a while up until last night. Thought it might be because of cal mag deficency

If it were me, I would add a 1/2" top dressing of worm castings and let the soil dry out a bit. If there is a deficiency the castings should help and they certainly won't hurt anything.

What kind of soil are you using?

Everything seems to be looking better and better. Didn't use any worm castings yet just because I don't know much about them. Soils getting more and more dry everyday but certainly seems like it was over watered. Interested in the worm castings though. What's the beenifits. Just don't want any chance I'm hurting the girls just switching to flower now.

Picture #4 is showing signs of Phos. deficiency and the yellowing at the top of the plants could indicate water- induced chlorosis. This happens when you over water and the results look just like iron deficiency. The tops will start to yellow and the new growth is smaller and smaller. And add some Earth Juice bloom all through your vegging period to insure that you won't be deficient when you flip.
