My sour diesel is looking really sorry for itself

Hi guys. I've got 3 liberty haze and 1 sour diesel growing atm. They're all from seed, all popped and planted the same time. All on the same nutes. The liberty haze look beautiful but the sour diesel is looking really sorry for itself. I've added a couple of pictures. Any ideas? They look like they're being over watered but I can tell you they're definitely not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I give them ph'd water almost daily because they are in the attic so I really don't think it's that. I like to leave them dry out a little before watering and these were taken just before a feed so that's probably why they look dry. I'll certainly look in to it though. Perhaps it's a thirstier strain. It's been looking sickly and not been growing properly pretty much since it popped, perhaps it's just a bad seed.

Leaves drooping indicates underwatering, crinkles on leaves indicate a PH issue

you maybe watering it often but if your medium is allowing all that water to run through the plant and not retain any then its not getting enough and with the pictures you posted looks like it runs straight through your pots.

I love it when people ask a question, get some great and thoughtful responses, then argue that the answer they get just can't be so. What's the point of the question????

They're better man, cheers. I guess they did look a little dry. I'm just not sure what's wrong with the smallest one. They're all planted in the same stuff, same nutes, ph'd water, but the sour diesel just isn't growing at the same rate as the other 3, which I'm happy with. I'm convinced theres something more to it than a water or ph issue, I just can't work out what it is.

do you you have a ppm or EC meter?

what nutes are you using? and how much of each

how much water/solution are you putting thru each pot each time you water?

to me...they look hungry
but I don't want you to go and add nutes until e verify it for sure

if you can tell me how much nutes and how often we can figure it out for sure before guessing

EC is pretty much the only thing I don't keep track of I think, because I do half nutes as standard anyway. I'm using canna coco a and b at the moment. About 2ml per litre. I'd say they get about a litre each every day. My humidity is running about 30% lower than the last time I grew so I think not accounting for that hasn't helped.

I don't have the nute info for that brand

do you want to post pics of the % info for each bottle and I will look at the mix and see if its missing anything to balance it

1 liter doesn't sound like near enough volume for those size containers

I would think it would be more like 4 liters per pot

When watering cannabis.. you want to water.. wait wait wait wait... water and repeat.. I would give each plant 1 gallon (4 liters) of water each time you water and I would water them one single time every 3-4 days.

go nutrient/water/nutrient/water ....... my friend who just started growing was doing the watering schedule you are and with 1 month veg his plants are only 5 inches tall when they should be a foot tall.

give each plant a gallon of water then dont do anything for atleast 3 days

You can continue the whole life of the plant giving it 1 gallon of water till you harvest,


I always wait till plant is big enough then give my plants 1 gallon each time i water. I have never had a single problem doing things this way
