Dwarf plant / Impatient / issues I don’t see?

Those leaves don't really seem scary to me. Some if it could even be genetic expression.

How often are you watering? The drooping and leaves could just be signs that it's still staying to wet honestly.

As far as humidity goes he frat question I would have is where in the room are you testing it? Make sure it's not right under the lights. The heat from the lights can effect the humidity tester and give inaccurate measurements.

If it is in fact that low, you could try adding humidity to the room you are drawing your intake air from. It might be easier. Or place your humidifier directly OuTSIDe your intake so that all the air going in gets treated.

I am placing my tester on the soil of the big plant. the humidity in my room that the tent is in is 21%. I am only watering when it shows it needs it. I usually use the pick up method as it is easiest to tell. So I honestly don't believe they are being under or over watered. I will try placing the little humidifier outside of the bottom intake.

Perfect that's a good spot to test it at its nice and out of the direct lights.

They don't look deficient. Some of these things might very well be genetic expression to this specific environment. Maybe someone else will see something I'm not, but plants do interesting stuff some times. It's not always bad.

A put an exhaust on a timer 30 on 30 off which helped me keep humidity up in a tent but it wasn't that low and I also had plenty of room for temperature increase. Seems like you need a real humidifier.

I can't really put my exhaust on a timer because of the temps I would reach. It would probably creep up toward 88-90 at the top of the plants and I don't really want that. I did just purchase a humidifier with a built in humdistat. It's a 1.5 gallon so I should be able to run it pretty consistently for a day or two without needing a refill. I watered yesterday morning and by evening the big plant perked up. Looking good today too. I also watered the second biggest ( back left ) as well. The only difference is I didn't feed the one on the back left and I fed the big plant since I flushed it the previous watering as I was worried there was too many nutes in soil.Today, back left is still a big droopy, big plant is nice and happy. I am thinking maybe I am being too cautious with my feeding after-all. I am worried about burning them that perhaps I am making them slightly deficient. Anyways, all the northern lights seedlings are looking good. Waiting on soil so I can trasnplant the ones in the solo cups. Those are just reg seeds so I am hoping at least two are fem. As far as the droop goes, perhaps it is genetic expression, but I had never heard of that before as far as this type of drooping and tacoing.
Anyways, just an update

Also wanted to add a few fan leaf photos to show what I’m working with here. I took these off the back left plant from the previous photo. The purple stems and coloring on the leaf look like phosphorous deficiency. All of them have some purple stems, but these ones are much darker.

So I agree they are obviously dealing with an issue. If you have been feeding real lightly it could be deficient. You just flushed the one which would have removed the previous nutrients and they might want more then you've given them.

Those symptoms really could also be a sign that the roots are still staying too wet. I just had to cut down my watering times on my garden because the plants weren't drying out enough between watering . Staying too wet can lock them out easily.

I’m just at such a loss man, the big plant, which admittedly doesn’t appear to have much of an issue at this moment in time, drops and then when I water it perks up so it almost HAS to be under watered right? The one that these leaves came off was transplanted a few days ago and when I did so, the football was not soaked. To be honest, I think I’m not a fan of these smart pots. I think I’m going to be switching over to plastic for my next grow. I’m going to let this plant with the main issue right now get very very dry before I water next time and I will give it a heavy feeding when I do.

Watered the ladies. Used 30ml in a gallon jug instead of 10ml of feed. I decided to feed heavy phosphorus in hopes that it was low. After the watering the plants peeled up well and are looking good. Lots of leaves with brown spots. I decided to completely prune so that I can see if this fixes the issue. I recalibrated my ph meter but I think it may be garbage so I am using the rapid test that comes with the general hydroponics ph kit as well as my ph meter. I am putting water in at 6.6 and it is coming out 6.4-6.5 so PH should not be an issue. If PH isn’t the issue, then it HAS to be a deficiency causing these leaves to die. I believe I have been underfeeding. I thought foxfarms soil was a hot soil but maybe I was wrong.

I’m just waiting to make sure the issues are taken care of for other two bigger ones to get a touch more growth. I will flower those three and then move the rest of them to another tent to veg. I’m hoping soon

Long time ago since I updated eh. Well, dwarf plant is no longer with us, however I took quite a few clones before I chopped her and they are all doing very well. She was just having too many problems that I couldn’t figure out no matter what I did so if the clones do the same, then I’ll know it is genes, if not, then who knows. However, I did start flowering the rest of them 28 days ago. So many leaves have died on these plants, they have been ravaged through a lot of experimentation this grow, yet at 28 days, I think it’s looking quite good.
