[rmckenz85]

I checked on my plant a few hours ago, then I just went in to check on it again and It's drooping bad It looks like its gonna die? What happened, It's been fine and healthy looking until now...

looks like your baby got the swine flu to me, lol.. i don't know, man that sucks.. what kind of lighting r u using? been feeding any nutes? over or underwatering it? more facts would help

 

[razoredge]

looks like it is reaching for light very badly.. and your soil looks like there's a lot of water in it.. just from the color.. but it could be the picture.

 

[rmckenz85]

No I havent gave it any nutes, I use 4 29 watt CFL's, I did top it 3 days ago I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

 

[rmckenz85]

I keep it bout 2-3 inches from the light, and I water it about every 2 to 3 days maybe I am giving it too much water

 

[razoredge]

stick your finger into the soil about 3 inches or so.. does it feel damp? if so let it dry out before you water again.

 

[rmckenz85]

I just stuck my finger in and it's not moist... DAMN WHY ME........

 

[superdave5]

If its not moist at all than you NEED WATER

 

[razoredge]

hmm.. how long has it been in that pot? did you damge the roots when putting it in there? are there holes on the bottom of the pot for water run off?

 

[superdave5]

No water=droopy leaves and same with over water. They wont do that from topping trust me. Its a water/light/ and probably not but maybe a heat issue

Looks as though it needs water. After watering in 24 hrs leaves should be standing up. Good luck!

I started it in that pot, No I don't have run off holes, I'm kinda new to this so I don't know a whole lot, I put it on the 12/12 cycle around a week ago and switched to CFL's I was uses fluros for the veg. stage

looks like ur babies need some water mines looked like that the other day wen i came home and soil was dry as fuck i watered and coupla hours later they perked back up

That why it looks like that is cause you need to water her. And be carefull cause that can put alot of stress on it and make it go hermie. After you give it a drink wait a hour or so it should be fine back to normal.

I keep a fan blowing in my grow box to keep the heat down since it's a small box. Thanks for all the help!!!

 

[rmckenz85]

I started it in that pot, No holes for water runoff.

 

[racerboy71]

yeah, i had a problem before with my fan blowing directly on my plants, and they tended to dryout very quickly... get a lil fork or something and scouf up the top of the soil and then slowly water it.. if it is having problems saturating th soil, then it is def. way dry.. give her some water and like everyone said, should perk right up..
and do yourself a favor, go to a site such a htg and order yourself some good nutes for soil.. alot of people recomend the fox farms line of products, and i just ordered them myself.. you can get the tri pack with shipping and all for like $40 or so.. follow the directions on the side of the bottles..

 

[rmckenz85]

Ya It did seem like it took longer than usual to saturate the soil , I thought I was giving them enuff water but obviously not lol. Thanks for the info on the nutes and for all the help!!! much appreciated

 

[GeeTee]

wen u water water only a small amount and let it soak for bout 10-15mins and then come back and give her more that way all of ur soil gits wet insted of jus gittin runoff if u water alot at one time

 

[rmckenz85]

WOW I just checked on it and it looks fine again !!!! Thats crazy thank you everyone!!!!!!
