The Background:
Four plants Around 2 1/2 weeks old. Most of the leaves look pretty healthy. Freshly transplanted into large pots and shouldn't have to be transplanted for the rest of their lives. Three flourescent tubes. Four 150watt CFLs.
The Issue:
When the four plants were seedlings I was trying to figure out the right amount and frequency of watering. The first time I tried growing they died from overwatering. So I picked the slowest growing plant at the time and watered it thinking 'if it messes up it was the runt of the litter anyway'. But then I accidentally let the other three plants dry out a little until their leaves were pretty yellow and starting to wilt. I immediately watered them and they've started to produce new leaves and growing steadily.
The runt that i decided to water is now the frontrunner and growing to double the size of the other three. The first of teh fan leaves are still kind of wilty and yellowish but producing healthy new leaves above. I'm guessing that when I dried them out it stunted their growth rate and they will eventually recover?
Also, my frontrunner that is twice the size of my others has pretty droopy leaves on its bottom set. Is this normal? I'm trying to phase some nutrients into its system but I'm not sure what could be causing the drooping leaves. I've tried watering, phasing in nutrients, transplanting and none of these have helped the large/low dropping leaves.
I'm not sure if I have a question but if anyone sees anything that seems off or weird or thinks they have some helpful hints let me know.
Thanks.
