I have 2 plants that are greenhouse lemon skunk. They just turned 2 weeks old. I am growing in coco coir/perlite medium. I have then under a 2ft x 4bulb T5 light 96 watts.The temp in my grow box is around 73 to 78 with humidity around 40 to 60% I was wanting to know what the problem might be that is making my plants turn light green/yellow and cause of the droopy leafs? any help would be great. plants 2 weeks old problem 001.jpgplants 2 weeks old problem 002.jpgplants 2 weeks old problem 003.jpgplants 2 weeks old problem 005.jpgplants 2 weeks old problem 006.jpg

droopy leaves might be over watered, maybe they need a tad just tad more nutes, im noob too though so take my advice with a crushed grain of salt

when my plant started drooping like crazy I waited a week without watering and then I flushed the soil, poking air holes into the wet after I was done. Then I turned off the lights for a solid 8 hours and woke up the next day to a happy plant.

what are u watering with? any idea of the pH of that water? what soil? that color of leaves does look like N deficiency but is unusual this early in life. Even in seed starter soil which has barely any NPK you will rarely see N def in the starter pot. A couple of those pics looks like you have twisty leaves which I have read can be caused by improper pH. when pH isn't proper, nutrient absorption is inhibited and can manifest in the leaves as a variety of classic deficiencies.

I got by without a pH tester for a long time. I'm dealing with my own plant problems right now which has led me to realize that pH measurement is essential.

Here's what you need to do. If it is a nitrogen deficiency, I would take some of the grow big and use half of the recommended dosage in water with a ph around 6.5. Check your soil's ph. If the ph is too low the plant won't be able to absorb the nitrogen. Be careful not to burn your plants.

He is using coco coir idk about why your plants are like that but do not start watering with 6.5 pH . yourppH should be 5.5-6.0 never really over 6.0 , 5.8 is perfect for most

Thank you for the reply. I gave them some grow big today with water ph at 5.5 with nute added.
