Fan leaves died

Well maybe if they actually had some nodes you could see what I mean. Looks to me like they just have a single top; and then there’s big staples holding them down. That’s not helping them grow. Take them off.
Your plants don’t look too bad actually but because your lighting is barely adequate they are stretched out a lot. Bury the stems deeper. As you look at your pics notice the very tip of the plants; 2 leaves praying like hands ...pinch or cut them off. Then you’ll see a little further down there are a set of branches...each one is also called a node. Pinch in between them; will feel like a tiny pop and the stem goes limp. That’s supercropping; try it you’ll like it. Yes I’m sure the fox farm nutes will take care of everything; that shit awesome . Good luck.

Did you cut off multiple levels of growth? I count what looks like 6 growth nodes that were stripped along the main growth stem. Doing too much removal of the plant at once, especially at a young age is a major stress and hindrance to the plant's overall growth. Likely why your having issues now.

Also, looks like your pot is only half full of dirt. The entire pla t is below the lip of the pot. You need to allow the plant to grow up to at least the rim of the pot, otherwise your not going to get proper light distribution as the plant starts to fill in.

Also also, they NAME the lights "the mega cool blurple light 1000w" then say its a 1000w equivalent that only actually pulls about 85w from the wall. The cheap no name manufacturers intentionally name their products in this way to mislead people into buying lights that they THINK they are getting a good deal on. Just FYI

No I didn’t cut anything they dried out in the sun bro . We have lots of dry heat here in Columbia . So they got a light midst from the rain then bam sunlight for over 8 hrs with high humidity and no air . But I have more soil on the way . Should I still use the fox farm soil or will any plant soil suffice for now ?

Appreciate it bro . I will definitely take out the staples . And you think I should move the light closer to them . I had moved it back since the leaves started to curl slightly or is that ok ? They’re actually pretty tall without the staples it’s just those bottom layers with no stems and shit looks fucked

Depends on the context. Could be both. You can pinch tops completely off, or you can pinch a stem to crush it in order to "supercrop" a plant

Yeah I have always pinched tops off, I thought that is what he was trying to communicate. He means more on the crushing side. Just wanted to clear that up before Boslivin started topping without needing to lol.

So I have a couple of ladies here that were left outside to long after it rained along with the sun and when I came back the fan leaves had dried and fell off completely. Will buds still produce at the sites or what should I do ?

I would just love them back to life. The nodes with the missing leaves can still grow bud possibly. There will be many other fan leaves to soak up light.

Don't give up on it. She'll repay you later on.

Yes that’s what I’ve been trying to do . I try to tell them I’m sorry and I’m not a bad father . I just needed others opinions . Thank you my fellow growers .

Fox farm is good stuff if its readily available to you in Columbia at a fair price. COuld also make your own soil, but let's get this plant healthy before we worry about doing that lol.

If your plant is drying out that quickly, your soil isnt retaining enough moisture. The plants processes should be able to sustain its leaves if enough moisture is present in the soil, regardless of how hot it is or how arid, which, according to Google, Columbia has fairly mild temps and high moisture this time of year so I doubt that was what caused loss of leaves, unless they were drowning for a few days from the rain. But the 70f days in columbia right now aren't causing that.

Work on keeping your soil at the proper moisture. Should help with the leaves dying.
Id also remove those staples... let the plant straighten up, so you can add more soil to the pot. You can bury the stem right up to where the lowest leaves are if the stem is standing up. More soil = more food resources for the plant to use and more root growth. More roots = more fruits

From now on, use the term "topping" and "super cropping" and itll avoid all the confusion lol.

If your not sure, just Google "what is supercropping a plant" and it will come up.

Better yet, check out growweedeasy.com and read EVERYTHING. Goes over every basic detail of pot growing, and all the different techniques and nomenclature you'll see regularly used around here.
