Hi guys,
i have currently just started my 2nd grow and have noticed some changes that i didn't get before. Firstly i have started from seed this time instead of cuttings and have 3 super skunks, 4 blue cheese, 1 pineapple chunk and 1 super lemon haze. They all germed within 4 days and transplanted into peet jiffys inside propergator and repotted them into 18 litre (main) pots as soon as reached lid. Had to put them straight under main lights (600w hps) as couldnt sort any others at time so just started with one (usually run 2). They didnt show any signs of stress so carried on and introduced the 2nd light 2 days ago (2 weeks in). The problem is that the one of the SS has had droopy leaves for about 5-6 days now as well as pretty much all of the BC. I thought could be over watering but its a drip system so everyone is getting roughly same and other 2 SS are fine.??? Im using 'dutch pro' nutes at about just over half strength with PH at 6.2 as advised by dude in shop......... Is this normal or am i doing something wrong, i know there is other threads on this but im finding all different opinions about this and not really one that fits my circumstances. Any help would be greatly appreciated any questions plz feel free to ask.

Here are a few pics.

doesn't appear to really be all that droopy...droopy leaves come from root suffocation usually...its a good idea to mix perlite up with your coco for added aeration...Do you have an air stone in your reservoir? If not...get one...aerate the shit out of that water ;)

i have had this problem a few times some plants just are more droopy on the fan leaves. maybe the humidity is to high for that plant?? this can cause the leaves to be less stern and droop alittle?how long since you repotted? might have a littkle shock you could try a little dose of black strap mollases or some rhizotonic? rhizotonic messes with the ph of soil quite bad bear this in mind

SS? Super Soil? If so, get your ph up to 6.8-7.0. And you shouldnt even be in SS yet. May be burning the plant.

Great to hear that you think their not that droopy!!, i will definitely mix perlite with coco next time as is no brainer i suppose. Thanks ....maybe over watering is causing coco to be to dense, causing root suffication??..... no havent got air stone neither a heater for my res, is it possible to get something that does both.??

Im actually having a problem with humidity cant keep it over 30-35% and have only got a dehumidifier. Could it being so low cause this as well.? Potted just over 2 weeks ago and in coco so are them nutes still ok to use .?

yes your dehumidifer will be dramatically effecting this.
you should limit the time the dehumidifier is on? how long a day you running that? they produce a lot of heat too. im in uk too and air outside at this time is relatively high. maybe pump some more air in to your house not room and change the rh of all the air entering your room?
both work just as well in coco especially the rhizo does not effect the ph as bad as in soil
hope this helps
