Is my plant dying?? This pretty much happened over night

[DoobieKushington]

As you can see in the pics, I have plants that are drooping terribly and one looks like it’s dying by the minute. That was actually my healthiest and fastest growing plant from the beginning but I have no idea what’s happening. I water a full gallon to every plant every 4/5 days.

it’s wet it’s overwatered

 

[DoobieKushington]

@93OG i haven’t watered since Friday. And I was actually planning to water tomorrow

 

[93OG]

Under watered then that’s the only two thing I know of that make a plant look like that.

So you think I need more than a gallon? Or water more often?

 

[GeneBanker]

It needs water fast. The soil is dry. They drink more and more as the progress. By the end of my run my girls drink 15ga+ every other day

Don’t water on a schedule, water every time the soil dries out. As far as how much you just have to feel it out

 

[DoobieKushington]

@GeneBanker damn bro. I’m glad you said something because I would’ve kept giving only a gallon the entire ride

 

[GeneBanker]

You can do a gallon if you wish. They’ll just want it more often

 

[93OG]

Water whenever your pots feel light. You’ll get a feel for it.

I assume you are in regular soil not coco?

 

[DoobieKushington]

@Dontjudgeme yes in soil. Fox farm ocean forest

I have my mothers trapped in 1ga pots right now. They are about 3ft tall and I have to water them like every 18 hours. I can’t wait for work to slow down so I can start them over. They are out of control right now but they look amazing.

 

[Dontjudgeme]

That soil has a time line for nutrients for 1. Might wanna consider top dressing at some point. But it definitely looks like a watering issue. Like mentioned above, stay away from a watering schedule at all cost. Water when the pot feels light. Just because one drinks today doesn’t mean the others will. Look for at least 20-25 % runoff. Didn’t hear any mention of ph either. Lots of possible reasons going on here. Not enough info to provide any real advice though. Sorry.

So you never give your plants a “dry” period

I haven’t been measuring ph. I’ve just been using distilled water from dollar general

And what dressing do you recommend and how often?

Stop using distilled water. Hell Use tap over that assuming you’re not on well water, if you can drink it so can your plants. The dry period is only a few hours after they have dried out, before they are sagging like that. Pick up that pot it will be light water it (slowly) pick it back up it will be heavier that’s how you should water by feel.

As far as top dressing that all depends on your style of growing are you using bottle nutrients?

What light are they under

 

[DoobieKushington]

@evergreengardener well that’s good news. I thought my tap water ph would be too low... now I can save on money and store runs.

I don’t use any nutrients... just water and soil. All of my plants are very healthy looking except those two
