why are my leaves curling down.

[mrrelax12]

This is my first grow and not sure if this is normal or not. This morning when I checked on my plants I noticed the first set of leaves was curling down or drooping.
It's a indoor grow I got 8 plants at 13 days old from seed
I'm useing t5 lights + a skylight for veg haven't started nutes yet. PH has been between 6.3 -6.8 . sorry if this is a repeat post but I couldn't find any info or pictures of seedlings with leaves like these.

How often are you watering?

 

[mrrelax12]

Every 2-3 days once the first inch of soil is dry

 

[undercovergrow]

every two or three days with seedlings at this stage, i would suspect they're droopy because they are thirsty.

OK I'll water more often and post a update in a few days .

Let the bottom of those pots dry out.
That mulch heavy soil is holding too much moisture in that low airation pot.
Cannabis likes a loose, light soil.

Best of luck.
Peace

Never keep two plants in one pot

 

[Estominala]

Agreed with sunni you need to remove one carefully!

OK I will move one of them didn't think it would hurt . at what age would you recommend starting nutes going to be useing fox farm

If your in ffof soil don't give them no extra food for at least a month When I'm in ffof il go 5 weeks before starting light light feedings ......just good watering habits for now well draining soil add perlite if your guna use ffof soil ......

only water if your containers are light. if you have really given the soil a good soaking, then just leave them alone.

good luck with your grow! and @Indacouch is right on with an answer for you regarding feeding.

Let the pot get light to the feel. Depending on size seedlings can go a while between waterings.

Let the plant tell you.

 

[BigEasy1]

The plant will speak to you. You just have to understand plant. It's similar to Chinese but different.

 

[mrrelax12]

Thanks everyone I plan on changing pots soon they was used because it was all I had handy . at this point should I up my humidity in the room? Currently 30% humidity .

your over watering. every 2 to 3 days and its a seedling. I water every 2 to 3 days and my plants are almost 3 feet tall in 7 gallon pots with full blown roots. under a t5 you should be watering maybe like 8 days how ever long it takes tell it is super lite. and you should see them shoot up real quick if you let them dry out and then water them. your roots will blow out when it drys up.

 

[mrrelax12]

OK and will 5 galon pots be big enough for them or should I go bigger?

 

[mrrelax12]

Update. 2 weeks of 12/12

 

[TommyDuhCat]

Didn't read all of the replies, but if you're using ffof, mix in around 30% perlite, it'll let it breathe a bit better, like someone mentioned, these plants like night soft airy soil.

I've heard almost exclusively negative things about Fox farm nutrients. If you want some good budget friendly nutrients, get some Dynagro, and perhaps some advanced nutrients cal/mag. So far I have only good things to say about both (I'm still a bit of a novice though).

Just my $0.02.

Good luck

Fibrous root systems shouldn't be shocked; even if, basin watering (once roots reach post-seedling) helps roots not searching for water. Nutrients and gravity, basin watering is too complicated if the trouble is watering/feeding a aggressive genome of hops sharing the family only soil-watering at top still extends root systems. More so actually, water-active nutrients will easily send roots deep after watered top quickly loses nutrients since his is a tiny pot he shouldn't worry about that until 4+ gal transfer. Hence fertilizer sits on top. Flowing down like roots. Eg. Tree roots outward because the food. Water table is
Easily accessible tho not needed. Each way. Growth doesn't change via root direction. Canna. Sat. Ind. have unique stems green nutrient filled stalk. I agree w waiting a week. Seedlings walled cells aren't full yet plus 1/4c water does a baby a lot. Consistency is the key tho. Rest/grow cycle. Multi plant pots can't be transplanted w/o damage once past leaves grow. H2o and nutrients are competed for making transfer hard if full-potential is capable. Just like a easy garden Nothjng like 12/12 outside in good climate can be beaten because the earth fixes our ideas most get the Dr. Of Netflix and wiki/forum for theirs lol.
