put plant in sink and lightly rinse leaves and and then flush soil good leave the fan on low and turn lights on till it is dry on the leaves and top soil is dry to touch. We may need an expert but ive grown tons outdoors and indoors i wouold do air injection soil or hydro only soil indoors is tough grow.

Thnx for the reply nizza, I've let her dry out a bit and moved my light up for about a day and she started to spruce back up a bit though she is still a little on the droopy side, weird thing is the leaves feel dry. Roots appear good for now when I checked but ill def be spacing out the watering/feeding from now on. It's my first try with the hempy method so there's def still plenty of room to improve.

Hello everyone.
Care to take a look?



My RH have been around 25% for the last few days, and temps are around 86F.
Should I take caution continue growing under these conditions?

Oh... and it's been this ugly since she sprouted. zoooom.jpgvszooom2.jpg :D

glad I helped. The crispy leaves won't go away, anything damaged doesn't get fixed it just wont progress when you've corrected it. New foliage should be lush and if the roots look ok (how did you look at them..?) then thats all that really matters. Root rot is a big battle and hempy is great because it is pretty tough to get that. If you're really interested in hempies try searching "world of hempy" the thread is full of people who use hempy method and is really informative. Everything you need to know is there and should help you a lot. Any other questions regarding hempy ask over there, everyone will be glad to help

Hello!

I have attached a photo with a little one. 16 days old. didnt feed her until today with rhizotonic for the roots (the pic was taken just after feeding). shouldnt be over-watering, I learned my lesson, leafes going down like this, but no more than that since yesterday. temperature around 25 C (77 F) at day, 22 at night. Humidity 30%, drops at night like 10%. I have an older one, the leafs are not down but not as pointy as they used to be.

What can it be the cause? Could be the humidity level? I have an ambient fan pointing at them, not that strong but can that be a cause?

I mean the conditions havent change for several days, maybe the temperature went up for 1-2 degrees, is 25 C to much ?

Thank you!

Your soil looks a little wet, let it dry till the pot feels light to the lift. This takes some time to master but by paying diligent attention to the details it should'nt take to long to master. As far as temps go 77 degrees is good to go. you might want to bump your humidity up some though, most prefer 55 - 60%. Let your girls tell you what they want. If their leaves are straight out from the stem and the pointed edges are flat with the leaf they are transpiring correctly. Take for example my room the temps range from 67 - 72 or so degrees and the humidity is usually around 75 - 80% and the girls are fat, happy and healthy. What works for me may not work for you, everyones grow is different. I/E, strain, environment, soil type, water source, and on and on. I think your plants look good....keep em green and keep on learning....lots to learn here. Peace and happy growing....J

thanks for the answer!

the soil is wet because I took the picture after watering her, (wrong sentence in the first post) but the leafs looked like that before. I over-watered the bigger one in the beginning and since that point I water when I am sure the soil is dry.

I ll buy a humidifier and I think should do the trick... I read that under low humidity the stomata closes and that could be the cause...

Uncle Ben, I have been enlightened and sent on a quest for more basic knowledge in indoor horticulture due to reading this thread. Somewhere awhile back I have become lost. Your insistance that one cannot overwater due to wicking and drainage has me fascinated. This is an issue I have been struggling with as late. Promix just won't dry out fast enough for me and root systems are just not developing into what is needed to wick away the wetness. Things are good and then boom the trouble starts. Lockout symptoms appear and the dying begins. You have set me on a path to
learn how to promote healthy root growth.

I can attest that it's difficult to over-water a mature plant....especially if you're using air-pots or smart-pots. I give each of my adult plants 1/2 gal of water/nutrients (in 5 gal containers) every day. I do this even with the pots are feeling heavy. If you look at any of my grows in my signature link you'll see the results of such feeding.

Nute lock-out is a tough one to diagnose. Depending on how far into flower you are, you may end up making drastic changes that end up doing more harm than good. Pictures and your feeding schedule including the nutrients and soil-type would help us help you.
