Hello

Does my baby look ok to u guys?.

I moved them in to a new tent yesterday and a new bulb 600w hps aswell?.

Or is this the sign of my ladies being hungry or is it becouse the fan is swaying side to side and blowing on to the leafs?.

Here she is a couple mins in to the new tent

gotcha. Is the second picture taken a few hours after lights out? or did you just turn the lights off for the picture?

My experience, limited as it is, is water make the leaves droop, maybe she has too much water. She doesn't look ill, imo.

mmmmm, ok interesting, try and get greatwhitenorths (user) attention, he always has some good advice. I really can't see anything wrong with it, u sure the soil is dry, poke to finger into the soil near the stem not to close and see how it feels.

plants tend to droop in the dark. See if she perks up when the lights come back on. The soil still looks very wet so I would wait to water again.

Ok are u sure it cant be the fan blowing straight on to her thats coused this?.
Na man, the fan will strengthen the stems, it shouldn't hurt the the leaves, unless you have the fan set to blizzard, if you did then the leave would be damaged. I agree with rockstarenergy, let them dry out, and check the bottom of the pot is not swimming in water.

I rhink it maybe becouse I moved thrm in to a new tent and under a new lamp maybe stunned her.

You could be right but I doubt it, I changed globes three times already and re-potted and the leaves stayed firm. Relax man, you probably stressing the plant out more than anything else, give it a day and see what happens. Close the tent and walk away man, go have sex for 18 hrs and then check it out again. lol


EDIT: What's your light cycle mate?

Hey,

just to say if you they have come from under a cfl, (250w or below)and have then placed directly under a 600w , thats probably to blame.

Just like a plant should be hardened off when going from indoor to outdoor, the same can be true for cfl to hps. Especially if there is a 200w difference. I see in your snap that the bulb is down close to them, keep the bulb a good 3 ft away for first two days then slowly lower.
I run a perpetual with cfls in veg and a small hps in flower room, and i have stupidly put a plant from under cfl straight under the hps, wont do that again. Always start them on the edges then move in if you understand me. I think they are stressed from too much light. They should recover in a week,
Also the fan could be, but doubt it, removing to much moisture from the leaves,making the stomata close,therefore making them droop. If its not an oscillating fan have it trained for between the hps and the canopy, then get another to strengthen stems. Or move it everytime you go in there and reset it when you leave. In fact i just looked at your pics again, so you do have two fans, id just use that oscillating white one for now then use the black(and i presume non moving) one for when they are abit bigger.

Sorry but no one asked what your temp is, would be intrested to know. Someone else said it, whats your light schedule? I take it you are still in veg, hence the small plants, so my next question would be are you using a 'dual spectrum' hps? Or just a standard hps?

Also to give you an idea of how hot those leaves are gettin you should sit your digi thermometer on the rims of the pots. So its facing the light. If you got your fans working correctly then when its on the rim shouldn't be to much different from where it is in that first picture. If it is that could be a problem..

sorry if its long winded or that, just would like to cover all the bases.

Anyhow take it easy and best o luck. I think you will love stepping up from cfl to hps.
