NEED HELP ASAP, Ive been closet growing a bagseed plant with a cheap set up and have been doing fine so far. The plant is 5 weeks into veg and is about 6 inches tall. All of a sudden the other day, the leaves started drooping after I watered it with my Miracle Grow houseplant food, but it wasnt much water and I had been using this solution for a while. The new growth at the top of the plant was doing fine until this morning when I checked on them an found that their edges were rolled up together and they were drooping. I really don't kno what to do and even though this is just my first time, I dont want it to die because I noticed when you smell the new growth up close it gives off a citrusy sweet scent! Please give any help or advice that you can. Good lookin out.

P.S. Sorry if the pictures are a litte shitty

Look like they are overwatered. The soil needs to be dry 1" down before watering (about every three days). Also, they look like they have nute burn. Flush the soil with PH'ed water. When you start back the nutes after the flush, go half the strenth you were giving them.

Alright but if they do have nute burn I still think they may be over watered, do I wait until the soil dries out to flush it or do it flush it anyways? And will foilage feeding with regular water help the dried out leaves at all?

Flush now and well. Use about as much water as the pot would have held if it was empty. Remember the water must be room temperature and remember to ph your water. Some even say to use TEPID water since it dissolves more of the accumulates salts.

Also, do you have a water softener in the house? If you do, DO NOT use the tap water, it contains salts. Use distilled water.

You can spray but the flush will do better than the misting. You need to get those extra nutes out of the soil. I am having the same problem now and after my flush, the plants really took off.

After the flush, just use water and when you go back to nutes, use 1/4 strength.

toss them out and start over. Why try to fix them they will show signs of stress forever. Its better to start over. Get some lights and a book on how to grow pot. Sights like this are great to hang out, but you can pick things up quicker in a book. No reading about how my cat is so silly ect. You wil be wasting your time if you bring this back and wont you be pissed if you do tons of work onlty to find its a male?

Too many nutrients, too much water, and poor air circulation are doing it.

I suggest you back off the lights, flush with water and mist the leaves.....often (don't need to ph water in soil), and get an oscillating fan.

The best way to judge the watering schedule the plants need is by picking them up. Immediately after you have flushed, you should hold the plant for a time and notice how heavy it feels when the medium is fully saturated. If the temps don't get above 85 and humidity is relatively high (RH > 50%), you may not have to water for 1-2 weeks. the pots can get very light before the plants are in danger of wilting. Pick them up each day and feel how much they are drinking.

It's a good idea to test the limits of the plant so you have a good reference; kind of hard not to do when you're green.

here are my thoughts.. #1 you are useing tin foil as a reflective.. get rid of it. #2 Your plants are very stretched and are not very developed for 5 weeks old,, NOT ENOUGH light. #3 I do not see any Perlite in your soil to help drainage... #4 THOSE PLANTS ARE FRIED,, YOU BURNT THEM BAD WITH NUTS..... Throw them out and start over.

Sometimes it is better to just kill the horse and get a new one.

Good luck with which ever way to go.

You'll notice the lamp down low in the corner; tinfoil on the planter is a good call here. Skinnyblakk can just throw more soil in the pot to brace up the meristem. the pictures obviously show green leaves on perky petioles. Potting soil doesn't need perlite to be effective. Happy Frog is a great example.

Telling him to kill his plants.....nice. I would love to be able to negative rep you.

Hey everybody thanks for the replies, but the plant is still doing kinda bad. I flushed it last night with some room temp distilled water and sprayed the leaves some, its still got that smell but all the leaves are dried and drooping except for the new growth at the bottom but they are all still mostly green, and the main stem looks a healthy green, so will my plant survive? And should I flush it again with the rest of the distilled water?
