My plant overall seems healty, im just a little cocerned about the new shoots that grow under the main fan leafs, the ones were bud grows i think, the ones at the top look fine but the ones near the bottom look very wilted and thin curled up a little, kinda look like a spider, i thought it was under watering so watered it no change, 15,30,15 is the nutes its getting and its a cfl grow, and it cant be lack of light as i have cfl's right in the problem area, also its 8 days into flowering, anyone got any idea whats wrong
thanks in advance

Think this may be underwatering ive been giving it 1 pint of water once every week, maybe thats not enough as i gave it a pint yesterday and have just stuck my finger in the soil about 2 inch down and its bone dry, so ive just gave it another pint, how much water should i be giving a 2 and half foot plant 1 week into flowering, someone said they need more water during the flowering period, i think this is my problem as the soil used to stay alot moister during veg mode and these problems only came about since flowering, can someone tell me how much water i should be giving her and how often
thanks

are you sure its not root bound?
Im not sure as i thought this pot would be its final one, does it look it? also if it were root bound would the problem start at the bottom of the plant as this is not a problem near the top, i hope its not root bound as theres no way i can repot this lol

nope your ok i reckon, the watering is what i reckon. i use compost and perlite so it drains quicker.they like to get pretty dry and then get drenched.

On a plant that size I would give 40 ounces of water or water w/ nutrients about every 4 days depending on how fast it is taking it up. I also thought rootbound at first but that seems a generous enough container.

Also check your pH. Low pH can cause that too. In addition to screwing up nutrient uptake.

You should buy a cheap liquid tester in the mean time. They shouldn't be more than $7.

Yea thats my plan if its not here in the morning, if this was a pH problem would it effect the lower leafs before it gets to the higher ones, its just when you lokk at my plant the top half looks fine, like there is no problem, its just when you look at the lower half, it looks droopy. To be honest i think its an underwatering problem, as it seems ive been giving her way too little water, but i will look into the pH tomorrow just in case

Got my pH meter today and pH is 6.8, upon looking at my plant there is a slight improvement in the "spider like drooping leafs" so good advice on the underwatering, i think i have the problem in hand now, thanks alot dell +1 rep
