Have 3 bagseed plants, all around 9 days into their lives.. For some reason I can't start typing on a new line so it's going to look like one big long sentence... I don't know why it won't let me.. Anyway 2 of the plants are doing really good, but one has had drooping leaves lately. They are all receiving the same amount of light and water, and the grow room stays around 27-29 Celsius and 40% humidity. Can anyone tell me why one would be showing signs of droopage? The leaves are green, but the growth has slowed down on this particular plant. I have not grown weed in quite some time and a bit rusty. I don't believe I am overwatering because I have fully let the soil dry out and re-watered and she is still a little droopy. Is it time for nutrients? They are growing in a nutrient free organic soil mix. Thanks for the help, sorry I couldn't space it out... GRRRRR

It's kinda hard to tell what's going on without knowing what they look like. Pictures say a 1000 words. What size container are you using? and how much water do you use when you water? Maybe the light isn't strong enough? Post pics.

The plant still hasn't recovered from the droopage... at first I figured I was overwatering it.. because I wasn't really metering the water just pouring it in until the pot ran through.. I have fully let the soil dry out (it was crusty about an inch down) and the plant still appears the same. The droopage has not getting better or worse. I just gave the plants 600ML of water (200ML each) with its first nutrients in it... I gave 0.72ML (less than 1ML) of 20-20-20 fertilizer split between the 600ML of water. So approximately (0.24ML per 200ML of water). The plants are growing in a nutrient-free organic mix of soil and perlite... And have already started developing their second set of true fan leaves. I feel it perhaps is needing some food.

Seems early for food, but I use soil. A couple things to check
1.) good drainage on the container?
2.) Root bound (probably not since only 2 sets of leaves)
3.) Possible pest issue in medium, something munching on your roots

Hi guys, So day two and still no recovering from the droopage. Watering it had no effect. The other one is doing great.

The "droopy" one doesn't look that bad... Barely even a difference with the exception of the two largest leaves.

I'd just let it go and see how they compare in a weeks time. Aside from that they both look about equal.

Those don't look bad at all. That drooping is what all my seedling have looked like. It's small so it won't need much nutes.....weak doses. Once that starts growing it'll be fine....no worries....don't kill her with kindness. Good luck
