What's wrong with them this time? PIX

I can't believe nobody else thinks they are over ferted.....I would flush them for sure, and start the nutes back at an 1/8 strength. If no improvement then I'd try foliar feeding. It def. looks like too much nutes to me.

They were droopy, I transplanted, they perked right back up, they drooped back down in a couple of days.

Yea, FoxFarm. Blue bottle? I've never seen GrowBig in a blue bottle at any of the hydro shops or websites I've been to.

I'll cut back on the nutes for a bit, see if that helps.

Thanks.

FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company this formula might be better for the hempy buckets.......and yes....cut back on the nutes...go 1/4 or less...

it looks less like overwatering an more like underwatering on the droopy plant..how established are the roots to the bucket it could be struggling for water still....the smaller plant looks like its not liking its food that hot...cut back to 3mlper gal.....flush that one first tho...peace az

I'll cut back the clone to just water.


Underwatering? If everyone is telling me I'm overwatering, I know how to fix that. If everyone is telling me it's underwater, I know how to fix that. But now I'm getting a mix of overwatering and underwatering. It's a fucking weed. Why is this so hard?

Anyone else want to put in a vote for underwatering?

perhaps someone could tell me if this droopy lucy is worth saving...first time grower. they were both straight up and then i put them on the windowsill in the sun and the lady on the left got all weird.

Get something to stake it straight and then get some 6500K CFLs and put them 2-3" directly above them.

i know from experenice with the buckets that as long as that hole aint clogged you would be hard pressed to overwater...but if the roots arnt established enough yet you can underwater very ez.....untill the roots are at the bottem watering everyday is key imo...peace az

this has been a great deal of help to me GROWFAQ most of what you need is in the faq......

with those hempy buckets...do you just stick the rockwool into the medium?...like hydroton?

yep..but wait untill the roots are poking threw the rw...an make sure you cover the cube entirly in per-lite....peace az

Alright...I've accepted you as the go to source of info for all things hempy. I'm going to accept your theory. But if you're wrong and they die...I'll get pissed but then smoke a bowl and get over it.

So, you think I should just be watering everyday now?

Yea, I've looked through that a couple times, but hey, maybe I missed something. I'll give it another look.

what can happen your plants are aready struggling....if they die they die...chalk it up to noobishness an contiue on....i do belive that plant is underwatered..as you can see the other plant that is affected by the nutes is not haveing that same problem...peace az

Like Az is saying, from everything I've heard it is extremely hard to overwater a hempy bucket, especially before the roots reach the reservoir at the bottom of the bucket.

It is a nute issue!!!!

I'm blamming underwatering for the droopyness and over ferting for the discoloration. For atleast the next week they're getting nothing but water and superthrive.

i'm doing 24/7 light from now on so hopefully they'll grow.

Click to expand...

bring it back down to 18/6. You'll save a little on your electric bill, anything over 18 hrs and the plants can't tell the difference.

Also, Royalnobody. Position the lights ABOVE the plants, but only about 2 inches or less above them. Notice, that the plants are growing TOWARDS THE LIGHT! One other thing, they're stretched as fuck! A very big sign that there is not enough light and its too far away from the plants.
