Please, I need some assistance. My plant below began to droop a few days prior to a transplant. I wasn't sure what it was then, and I'm not sure what it is now. I'm afraid I've killed my plant and I'm not sure what to do anymore. Please, any help would be appreciated.

looks over watered, but we need to know a lot more to be any actual help.
what kind of light are you using? what kind of air circulation? what is the RH? what nutes are you using, and how much? how often? are you in soil, coco, peat?
I have all that information here:
Concerns over possible leaf issues.
Hello all! I've been having some issues with my first grow. I was hoping I could get some insight as I'm extremely confused. I've attached photos of the issue for reference. Please find my grow details below: I have noticed some abnormalities with my plant's leaves. As shown in the photos...

i noticed you said your run off ec was higher than your input ec. in coco, that is usually caused by not watering often enough. it's better to water every day, or even twice a day, with very minimal run off, than to water every two or three days with significant run off. it will keep the root zone aerated better.
may not solve the problem, but it couldn't hurt

My feeding regimen is in the post, I actually water twice a day. It's also only off by 58EC. Are you saying I should have EC that is lower than my target/inflow EC?
EDIT: I've posted a picture of the plant from this morning, approximately 30minutes before lights out.

no, your ec seems about where it should be, and watering twice a day should keep the coco well aerated.
you did say it started a few days before up potting, it might have been root bound, and is now busy growing new roots...i'd give it a few days and see if it doesn't perk up, it looks pretty healthy otherwise
afterthought, you haven't recently moved it in relation to a fan, or a fan so it blows more directly at it? it could be minor wind burn instead of over watering
I did actually. For clarification, this tent has two clip fans inside, one uptop and one below that blows directly onto the plant. I also placed a small swamp cooler to help with temps and humidity as I leave in a hot dry climate. I did not realize wind burn was a thing, should I move the fans completely?
Thank you for all the help!
Thank you for all the help!

Twice a day? try twice a week buddy .. over watering is the number one killer.

he's in coco coir, not dirt, daily watering is a good thing

it shouldn't be that bad, but you don't want a fan blowing directly on your plants. turn them so they blow against the wall, and the back wash makes a breeze, that's really all they need, just to keep the air from stagnating, keep fresh co2 circulating.
Sounds good, I'll make that change soon as lights are on, thanks again!

Ok, missed that, so twice a day ok in Coco Coir? Maybe it's just transfer shock and everything will be ok once acclimated, he did just repot the thing, or am I in the wrong thread again?? Oh boy ... time to hit anotjer spliff...

he did, but said it started a few days before he transplanted, which caused me to think perhaps it was getting root bound, and then had a little transfer shock. i wouldn't be surprised if it rebounds pretty quickly
I'm pretty sure this plant has alternaria but need some confirmation. I cut most of the lower buds off because of rot. Actually I could just snap most of them off because the stems became very brittle. The leaves on the buds all had the brown spots with concentric rings as in the second pic. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It does look like some fungal issues ( i zoomed in on inner leaf areas and notice tiny black specks ( dots ) on leaf matter. You could treat with Draconil or Fungicide 3.

a soil drench of neem oil may work. it's a pretty good fungicide. it would probably be more effective as a spray, but it does work systemically if used as a soil drench, and it should effect the taste and smell of your buds a lot less than spraying them would.

For the drench, Im in need of a solution too, what kind of ratio of neem oil to water should i be targeting?
Roger A. Shrubber

actually, i would use this, at the strength the directions recommend. this is the primary active ingredient in neem oil, with none of the shitty taste or smell.

if you can't get this, then 1 tbls neem oil extract in a gallon of water, with just a couple of drops of dawn will work pretty good.
if you weren't already in flower, the whole situation would be a lot more convenient, a quick foliar spray would fix it, but if you spray now, your buds will have a rotten garlic taste and smell to them...
