I turned on my light this morning and my plants and its leaves were drooping. i was wondering if this is due to high humidity or if i needed to do something else. it looks like they are just going into the flowering stage if that helps any

Either its high humidity or overwatering, water once or twice a week and keep a constant fan on this plant.
 
We water with 200-250 ml of water just about every other day or until about two inches down is dry. Right now the plants are 30 days old and were using about 3tbs/gallon ff growbig every other watering.
 
thanks i will move the lights down and try giving them less water this weekend. we shall see the results monday

Your plants are sleeping, chill. If you look in on your plants at night you will see all the leaves drooping. When the lights come on they start to perk up. Can take an hour or so.

The reason this happens is at night most of the blood of the plant (juice/food) is stored in the roots. No big deal.

They look great don't change anything, and don't beleive everything you read. just becaure a couple people say it's true. Also look at the number of posts they have. People mean well but look to expearence.

well they have been like that all day. at first i figured it was nothing, but when i came back from work they were still the same so i wanted to get some feedback. Didn't want it to continue for too long and ruin anything.
 
OK I thought you said after you turned the lights on? Anyway if they were still like, than when is doubt flush with 25% food and water, if something is out of balance that should reset it. If your over watering your leaves would cup and too close to the light they would curl to preserve moisture.
 
UPDATE:

So i haven't watered my plants since Wednesday and a couple of them have made improvements while the others still drooping and some of the bottom leaves are starting to yellow. I'm thinking it is a N deficiency, but i don't want to water them yet. I also took a couple of clippings to see if anyone could identify any other problems.

Sounds like Nute lockout, it wants pain water maby that and maby a little N? cause yellow bottom leaves is usalt N defic.

EDIT: yea Flush with pH water and 1/4 N nutes to help em.
 
It looks like a watering problem, I let mine dry out so the pot feels light and easy to lift then I keep watering until water starts dripping out the bottom. Its really easy but a little scary at first, its easy to show them too much love and keep spraying and watering them every other day or worry about every little bent or broken leaf, after a while you will get a feel for it.

Flush,Flush,Flush....................
 
Flushed today with 3gallons each (1.5 tsps big bloom+1/2 tsp growbig per gallon). they're in 2gallon pots and are autoflowers so i figured a 3 gallon flush should suffice. Ill keep some pics posted over the next few days.
 
My babys leafs started to droop right after i introduced more light (I added 2 27w 5000k cfls). My heart dropped and I started to have a panic attack:0 After stepping back and thinking for a min. I removed the xtra lgts and the very next day they were fine. ??
I guess the moral is don't OVER react. Yea im a newbie!
 
Got a question pertaining to this thread. So, if ezwider "removed the extra light" and everything came back, would it be safe to assume that it was a temperature prob and not a light issue. Because if it were a light issue, there would be bleaching and drying of leaves (and sometimes leaf curl upwards or twisting). In this case, leaves were droopy, so it is more a sigh o heat stress.

Hope this helps, and if any of the pro's want to add their feed back on this, I'm curious to know what they think.
 
Just putting up a few more pics. Its been seven days since i flushed with 1/4nutes and water, havent watered them since, pots are still feeling a little heavy. Should i hold out a few more days watering and bump it up to half strength on the nutes?
