overwatering

[crompy]

i just read that if ur leaves droop during lights on it meens overwatering is this true? cause mine do that but when i water them again they stand up proud so im confused....

 

[cincismoker]

then its probably under watering

 

[hempie]

whats the temp in your grow room during lights on? heat can also cause them to droop a little..

 

[crompy]

cant get it any lower than 83f rh 47

 

[saine420]

83 is cool.. whats the humidity like.. how often you water? and how bad is the drooping? any pics?

 

[skunkushybrid]

They droop with either over or under watering. If the leaves are drooping and you haven't fed them for a few days then common sense dictates...

 

[crompy]

since i got them under hps im sometimes feeding them twice a day and humidity is47rh and 53 rh when watered. use nutes every 3 days.

 

[skunkushybrid]

What size containers, and what medium?

 

[crompy]

im using 12 inch pots and a bad kind ov asda soil they are 4ft tall and 5 weeks into flower so i derent repot them..wat i got told to do is cut couple ov inches off the bottom ov my pots and sit them into bigger pots for roots to grow better...thanx

Asda, as in the supermarket?

Try watering your plants with at least 2 litres of feed per pot. It should then take about a week for the next feed.

 

[crompy]

yea asda as in supermarket walmart its were i work but i will do wat u advised and let u no the outcome soon...thanx

 

[skunkushybrid]

Just slice the bottom of the roots so that they are all pointing downwards.

I asked about ASDA, because that's what it's called in my country. we don't have walmart. Walmart bought Asda out a few years ago.

 

[skunkushybrid]

Scratch that last part about the roots. Wrong thread.

yours sound like heat stress. If you had lots of air the temp wouldn't be so high. get it down. More circulation. When you think you have enough circulation, double it.

twisting? How so? are leaf fingers turning to the side, or are they completely twisting around?
