Drooping leaves HELP!

SirThunderBud · Dec 18, 2011

Ok so i'm growing white widow and super lemon haze hempy style and for some reason they both are drooping bad even when the light is on. I am using a 600w MH for veg in a 5'x2'x4' grow tent 18 inches away from my plants. They are around 13 days old since seed cracked. Any advice as to why they are drooping is appreciated for sure!! :eyesmoke:

I am no pro but I would ease up on the lights by say 500watts and change out to cfl until they get a little bigger...

What is the temperature at the top of your seedling?...I'd raise the lights up a bit for a week or so until they get a little bigger. How often do you water them?

SirThunderBud · Dec 18, 2011

79F at the top of seedling and I water them every 4-7 days depending on dampness. Feed in between waterings

I've got a dimmable ballast so i took your advice and switched to 250W...we'll see what happens. Thanks for the reply

I dont think its the light that makes the leaf droop. Id say to little water vs the strong light.

There is still water at the bottom of my buckets, plenty actually. I was thinking they need nutes? I watered them yesterday

They looked stressed out. It's combination of big light and low humidity, even with 250W. Put ur little plans in a humidity dome with a 100W CFL on top and keep your rockwool moist not wet.
What r u feeding them?

Advanced Nutrients two part grow and cal-mag. When you say low humidity what is low?

Thanks bro..my humidity has been between 50-60% since they were transplated...you think they could be stressed from the moving?

You by far have way way way to strong of a light for seedlings id just put these under like a couple 250 cfls for about 2 weeks then throw them under the MH i promise you they will look greener and healthier

feildgrow247 · Dec 18, 2011

also what kinda ventilation do you have and does your MH have a hood? if so is it ventilated?

Overwatered or underwatered

I have two 6" intake fans, one drawing cool air into the cool tube and another taking the air out.

You welcome. No, it's not from transplanting. How much nutes are u giving them?

Last time I fed it was at 50% strength of nutes

Everything I am reading says that older yellow growth means a nutrient deficiency...is there any other reason why this would happen?

That doesn't say much...do you measure the TDS before feeding?
