I think the leaves look so fu**ked probably because i didn't give her any nutrients So do you think if i start feeding her, will she pull through? and i'm not too sure why the leaves are drooping could it be because of lack of nutes , over watering or under watering ???
 
Well lets start with some back ground info. What soil are you useing? What nutes are you using? How many times have you watered her in the last two weeks and how much? How warm is it where she is? How do you determine when to water? How much light is on her?
looks like over watering to me. Could also be lack of nutes. If you figure out what the problem is she will be fine;)
 
Hard call. But I'd say due to the lack of yellowing on the lower leaves u can rule out n def. Leaves appear slightly swollen but its hard to tell but it makes me think overwatering may be the cause of ur droop. How often are u watering? Tap ro or distilled water? Are u phing it? What kinda soil. Lights temps?

The discoloration looks like it could be wind burn.. is ur fan on high or hitting it directly at all?

Without more info I can't personally say with certainty its this or that.. maybe I suck and someone more knowledgeable on the subject will chime in

Thank you for replying i'm using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil haven't used any nutes yet It's 75 degrees i water when ever the pot seems to fell lite and there's 6 cfl lights on her
i Kinda thought it could be over watering and lack of nutes too, so if i wait out the over water will the plant get even worse since shes still not getting any nutes?

Thanks for replying yes the fan is hitting the plant should i move it farther away or leave it i read that it helps dry out an over water'd plant not too sure if that true. i'm using distilled water that's phd at 6.5
 
It may get a little worse before it gets better but nothing she wont pull through. Let her dry out til she's noticeably going limp from drought. Then water her til u see fifteen percent runoff. After that when she feels like she needs water wait a day then water and u shouldn't see a problem.

The fan can help dry it out however wih a fan the intent is to move the air around the plants. Keep the air mixing and and moving the used up air out of the canopy. It helps strengthen stems as well obviously. I personally aim my fans at my light Hood on keep it oscillating on low. The turbulence created in the tent is more than enough to keep the plants slow dancing in the breeze without burning the leaves. Your exhaust should be capable of keeping the air exchange sufficient. The fan just mixes it up and keeps it from becoming stagnant before its exhausted out.

U want it nonchalantly blowing around the area ur plants happen to be in. Not focusing on the plants themselves.

If its wind burn youll realize it as soon as someone asks. Leaves will be blowing around like nipple tassles and you go "oh shit! Im a dumbass" Heres some wind burn ive seen. image.jpgimage.jpgIt looks close to this. Do you think thats it? If it is youll be fine. Let them dry out and give em nutes. Done.
 
Great advise. I ask what size pot? How often are you watering (specifics for last 3 watering). Like 4 days ago, 3 days ago, and 2 days ago. This may be different a little based on your location humidity/temps. etc. Foxfof needs to ad nuts. approx. 3/4 weeks into use. I make it completely easy by going with seabird gauno heavy pinch montly till chop. normal watering so no real chance of nut. issues and great green plants till chop. I dont want to spend any more time in the garden then needed so liquid nuts. to me were more of a pain to keep up with how much and what week bs. IMO.... Id say for example if you are using a 20 oz cup size in my neck of the woods watering day 4 or 5 is best. More then that they stay moist in the root zone and issues come. If you are going to upsize soon using ffof you shouldnt add nuts. along with fresh ffof or only 10%/20% of full strength. remember, these plants like to kinda dry out. Early on try to water a day after you think its time. If the leaves start to drop you waited a little too long but now you know and they will bounce back if you dont let em get to dropping regularly. good luck watching...
 
Oh, your ph sounds fine as long as you have a correctly calibrated pher? something to think about and check if you havent cause if ph is off a bit issues. Id check the calibration monthly...fyi

If you are using drops let the pool guy use them cause they are worthless and many people see different colors on same drops..a wide ph difference...
 
Thanks every one for you help and for the information i really appreciate it, the problem was wind burn i moved the fans away a few hours ago and she all ready stopped drooping ! :D
 
Looks like PH lockout, soil is either too acidic or too basic. You can by a PH test kit with PH up and PH down for like 8 bucks, worth the investment.

PH your soil, where is it at? It should be like 5.5-6.5

Also, check the tap water you're giving it. What does that tap PH at? it should be at 6.0 roughly.

If you're soil is not where it needs to be you need to flush it with PH'd water. Make sure the water you flush with has a PH of roughly 6.0 otherwise its not going to help.

My tap is 8.0 by default, I use PH down.
 
I'm happy you found the cause, IMO I would put that baby in a little bit bigger pot soon and she will really fluff up for ya.
