One more question right here and I'll likely post a new thread about it but for now I'll get an inquiry from here if possible. I'll also post the pics below..

So usually 3 hours before my light goes out she starts to droop and an hour before it goes out she REALLY droops down, when i turn my light back on in the morning about a hour after she perks back up and look healthy pretty much all day until I shut the light off like mentioned. Any thoughts on this? (Pics are 1hr before light goes off BTW)

some plants "go to sleep" before or during lights out. I actually had a c99 that would start it's nap about 1-2 hours before lights out.

That pot looks pretty dry, how often are you watering her?

Ah wow so she's practically resting in a sense? Is there any known reason for that? I was told to hold off for 3 days on watering because of possible overwatering or possible nute burn then just use regular phd distilled water cause im using FFOF and that it has plenty of food for first few weeks. Im watering very first thing in the morning (without nutes) when the lights pop back on. Good eye btw man lol.. doing this awhile?

if it still looks like in the am then she needs watering. if she perky then she was sleepy . your on a 18/6 light cycle? .i would start with light nutes after about 5 waterings . if you have another pot fill it with dry soil.. then youll have something to reference when its time to water. her. all plant are different and soon you will know . just by picking up the pot or get you a soil. dryness meter at H.D.. but she is young and so she needs her rest.. you socal guys really like your ocean grown strains .. kiss.

I used fabric pots recently and hated them, because during flower i had to water twice a day. Fabric pots dry out really fast and can be watered daily once the roots are established. For now, every other day give them a fair amount of water. Enough to saturate the medium, but not enough to get runoff.

I don't remember how high your temps were, but i did notice the leaves are starting the "v" or curl up some. Underwatered plants do that to direct rain down to the roots, kind of like a sign to let you know they want some more water.

Let em ride man! I've had mine look like that and after awhile they heal up. Take care of your plants and they will take care of you:) I go in and talk to my plants everyday and keep an eye on them all the time. I got 4 clones from a guy and he kept 4 to himself. All of mine are bigger and healthier than his.

AM today looked nice perked up and she looked very happy, it just seems to happen before the lights shut off so sleep sounds like the case. Last few days I've been able to keep the tempature at a satisfactory 71-78°F :) watered her today with plain purified PhD water and by this time she probably going back to sleep.. Humidity at a nice 58-65 lately as well and everything's seems fine for now. I think I have a slight mag problem currently but I ordered cal-mag and it should arrive Tuesday. Will fix that as soon as I can. I'll ride it out and see where it gets me thanks guys!​

On my first grow I burnt the crap outta my plants because I didn't work the measurements out, I somehow saved my plants mostly by great advice on this site. It was a great lesson as to this day none of my plants have had leaf burn as I hate the slight of burnt leafs.

Btw your plants look very healthy apart from the burn

Yeah she was sleepy :) the soil was dry slightly past my first knuckle, and I havent added any nutes for about 6 days now, plan on adding a small amount soon though! Also will gradually raise them too.

They look fine,check your room at night to make sure it's not too cold, leaf been light in colour is normal in new growth,the edges been brown could be down to wind burn

Does it look like I have a nitrogen problem to any one here? Bottom leaves are dark and one is clawing. Was told so but I like to get more than one opinion..

60-80% relative humidity is high bub....turn the humidifier off. Me thinks u should add a tbsp epsom salts per gallon H2O for a little mag hit. Cannabis are mag whores. Otherwise your plant looks great....you caught the problem early
