Soil Grow under 400 HPS.
Day 30 since sprout. 24 hour light cycle during veg.

The largest of my four plants is looking very depressed. All four were watered yesterday, PH 6.5 water, with Biobizz nutes.
We've had an unexpected cold spell, which has lowered the grow room temperature. Usually it's ~25C, it's been closer to 21C the last couple of days.

My other plants seem fine. I'm planning to flip them within a week.

First picture is in the grow room, with the other three plants. The sick plant is front right of the canopy.




Final picture is base of pot. Maybe she's just root-bound?


Thanks for the help.

Did they start to droop before or after you watered? If you think they can be root bound, what size pot are they in and for how long?

I didn't notice any drooping pre-watering. They're in 2 gallon pots. They were transferred from half gallon pots 13 days ago.

Overwatered, let the pots get much lighter before watering again.

I agree. That cold snap likely slowed down growth, so the pot stayed too soggy.

Yeah the topsoil was still moist today, whereas it's always been dry to touch the day after watering before. Thanks for the replies. Consensus seems to be over-watering. I'm going to give them until next week to recover and then put them into flower.

The surface can be dry and the other 95% of the pot wet, go by the weight of the pot.

Overwatered for sure

Warm the room slightly to reverse the overwatering .. And next time take it easy when watering as this is a good indication of the variables one must roll with .. Once midway into flower she will uptake 3 times the amount of water than at this time ..

Also note that Afghani/Kush and there Hybrids are known to be sensitive to overwatering and this is your case more than anything ..

Another important note... That one stunted plant is now on its own feed/water schedule. Treating healthy(er) plants and struggling plants the same (i.e. watering them all on the same schedule) is a recipe for disaster. Once your plants get out of sync, you've gotta look at what each individual plant wants, and when.

I see some heat stress with leaf cupping. Also some of the newer growth in a few pics shows light leaf tips, even blanched possibly, early indicators of nute OD. Let the soil dry really well and then water really well. This will buy a week. See how they look or if any other signs of burn or deficiency appear. They will live on plain water.

Yes she is root bound, get her in a bigger pot
