i'm not sure what's happened over the last day or so, but my plants seem to be drooping quite a bit more than they were yesterday, and some of the bottom leaves seem to be dying off... what can cause this problem? Pics for reference.

also, plants are about 3 to 3.5 weeks old, have been under 18/6 light for several weeks, have received water every few days, and have not received any nutrients thus far.. i plan on doing so very soon, if that seems to be the problem

Feed them, spray them a few times a week... excessive heat causes drooping. Do you have a fan in there? i'd flower them soon!

Do you pH your water?

Are you over watering?

No nutes?? What kind of soil are you using..

Try to give them 1/4 strength nutes with a water ph of 6.5

Do this and you should be set..

Goodluck.

when they get hungry and there is nothing around for them to eat they eat themselves,yellowing dry dieing leaves at the bottom.

not over watering, only water every 3 days or so.. im using scotts select potting mix.... i don't have a ph tester for the water, but i use a brita filter if that helps at all. and is 1 teaspoon a good amount for 1/4 strength?

1 teaspoon for a gallon?
It depends on how you mix it, but it should say on the bottle how much per gallon, or liter or something, then divide by 4.
Umm, I hope you didn't just put the fert right on the soil straight.

No, you should mix the nutes with water first to make sure there is an even mixture. If you sprinkle it on the dirt then there wont be even coverage. Some parts might have too much some might have too little.

Yikes hun, you may have some problems... maybe not, its always really important to completely dilute nutes before appling to plant, you may wanna remove as much of that top soil as possible, and replace with new soil, then in 2 days use some nutes. You are going to have some nute burn, burned tips and such. You could just do a stright flush next watering. Let us know what happens

Too much water? Not enough light? Not be fed water/nutes yet? My plants droop a little in the morning until the lights go on, and then I feed them : )

Nope. Once a week. And I am shitty at measuring, so I take a 500ml water bottle (reg size) and get a take the cap, and use that to measure the powder bloom agent. It works for me.

I am trying, feed, feed, feed, flush. Knoticing alot more growth, a guy on here grew monster from doing it. At first in would feed, flush, feed, flush.. In flower you will be watering about every 2-3 days, they suck it up like vampires, so the more oyu water the more you get to feed, so proper drainage is important!!

you need to get a ph tester AS SOON as possible. your plants cant eat without the correct pH...And remember when the plant cant eat from the roots. it will eat from its fan leaves which store sugars. (you dont want this happening. looks like it already is happening)

You have a ph problem.

Here is this graph that will help u.

Nice graph!! You are right that ph out of control will block the nute uptake and kill your babies. Some distilled or spring water and you will never have a ph problem again!!

+rep for that graph Blond, its great!!
