danny2980 · Oct 22, 2015

600w mh never over water or let it dry to much. Anyone know what this could be. Any help would be appreciated

Over watered is my guess. Not big enough to be root bound in that container.

danny2980 · Oct 22, 2015

Thanks mate. The leaves where starting to droop before i watered though and the soil was pretty dry.

looks root bound to me since the roots are growing out of the bottom... every plant i have cut has been root bound, even the biggest pots. planted in the ground the roots will occupy about the same area as the plant up top. next year i am going to dig large holes, add good soil and turn them loose in the ground. i just need to grow plants that will finish in early oct.
jack herer, opium, caramelo, kandy kush all finish pretty fast here. john

Overwater. Water more frequently with smaller amounts. Biggest problem i always had. Your plant will also grow faster that way. What are ur temps there? Cant tell 100% by that pic but looks like maybe some heat stress as well. I would repot those asap to at least a 3 gal

Transplant it, she needs footroom. I bet you have pot swirl. Look at my late transplant, the holes in the pot didn't have any roots showing.

Thanks guys they've perked up this morning a bit. Think im definitely going to water less but more frequently. Its crazy as i only transplanted into these pots about 8 days ago. Can the roots really grow so quick. My temps normally around 21 -24 c through light period

The fan might be wrinkling them up.

Good point its not blowing directly on them just enough to make them move slightly. Should the fan not be pointed on them at all

Nothing your plant is rot bound - transplant it in larger container - should have been done two weeks ago Container size used? 5 gallon are alway a good start also looks like you "room" couls take 3 - 5 gallon buckets now - re-transplant in 5 gallon containers now for larger plants and bigger yields !!!

No, just back it off a bit if you can.

I will do mate. Just crazy to think i only tranplanted into these pots last sunday then topped 2 days later. They started drooping in the solo cups before i tranplanted into these current pots. But then exploded after transplant and looked great. My first time using metal halide

We learn something new each grow therefore each grow is better than the last !!!!! Happy Cultivation

at least 5 gallons and water all the way through. drill holes in the bottom of bucket if they're not there already and water until you get runoff. let soil dry out quite a bit before you water again. don't water in smaller amounts but more frequently. this may not put water all the way down the soil the way you need it.

I would transplant into a 7 gallon smartpot, if you have the soil.

That only works if you have a true living soil.

depends on what kind of soil you're working with. Whats your setup?

Using canna soil 600 watt lighting roots hit the bottom pretty quick in these current pots so im guessing they'll do the same again. Planning to veg for a decent time aswell want to top them once more then scrog after they've recovered. One lady is behind by a couple weeks though

18 liters will be fine.
