Flowering plant with leaf spots and drooping
I've got 4 clones in a small closet that veged for 2 months with a cool CFL and now flowering with a HPS.
2 short ones are OG Kush and the taller ones are GDP.

For the past 10 days I had to leave them all alone, so I changed to a warm CFL for safety, and used the auto drip ceramic things to give them water and nutes (miracle grow).

When I got back, they looked great so I gave them a feed...now one of the OG
plants is looking terrible. It started drooping, then brown spots on the leaves which are crisping up.

Don't know if its root bound, or burnt...Any ideas??

I can say for sure that drooping is not from being root bound It's looking little worst that:lol: I thinking some kind of shock:o Either ph or ppm issues! That could be a fluctuation of ph or raise in ppm's but it don't look burnt! Yet.... Definitely some type of lock out,

i would bet you have root rot from being root bound or overwatering. can you turn them over and look at the roots? are they brown and foul smelling like rotten potatoes?

What are you feeding them? you are giving them too much N and they dont need that much now, getting a bad claw there. Flush then water only for a couple of weeks then start flowering nutes

IMO i would flush your plant i had this happen before to me and what i found is , i was feeding them i flushed and my returns were over 2000 ppm i was like WTF since my flush plant has turned around for the better hope this helps
my guess is some how i locked out or plant just didnt take nutrients and alll of a sudden cow pow

90 percent of the time when plants are droopy its from either humidity issues / over watering or exsessive light / heat i find with running lots of power after my 18 hrs on plants look drooped big time but once lights go back on there ok

Well, she did not make it. Just spent an hour harvesting the little budlets to salvage what I could.
On the plus side, these are very strong....one hit and I felt like I had had enough.

Finally got my pH meter going, and I see the problem, the tap water is at 8.0
There was probably significant nute lockout.

I don't know how the other 3 plants have kept going but I'll fix the pH with cider vinegar to 6.5 and hope for the best.

Not so fast it seems....

When I checked the ph of the soil by mixing equal parts soil and water, I get 4.8
The ph of the water alone is 8, so the soil must be very acidic.
This is fox farm potting mix, I wouldn't expect it to be like that in the bag.

Should I just leave the water alone and keep going as I have with straight tap water?
