What kind of medium are you growing in? What stage of growth are they? What are your feeding and watering habits? Where are your pics?

i have them in pots with miracle grow, they're about 2 and a half months old still in the veg stage, watering is kinda random but never more than 2 days apart, and they a food spray once a day.... ill get pics up later but thats about all i can do no, still makes no sense that two out of the three plants are being affected when they all get the same treatment

lol i didnt know how to spell foliar and its Miracle grow all purpose water soluble plant food, http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/productTemplate.jsp?proId=prod70342&itemId=cat50106
i mix 1/2 teaspoon in a gallon of water and give them a light mist once a day to every other day
Started using it because the plants were showing potassium deficencies

Yeah, you are not supposed to use that fertilizer as a foliar feed...
"INDOOR PLANTS
Mix 1/2 teaspoon (not tablespoon) per gallon of water. Apply every 2 weeks. We do not recommend foliar (leaf) feeding for houseplants."
I would spray them off with plain water a bunch.. Make sure they have moist soil... Go easy on the lights..
Let them chill out.. You've been a bad bad boy.
tommy
ps- even if you are able to use it as a foliar spray, you are overdoing it with your application rate.. Once a week maybe if there is a prob...
also, what is the pH of your foliar spray? and what is your source water?

Ya i missed the part where its not recommended for foliar, but still that desont explain y only two plants are being affected while the other is just going crazy wild with all of its growning, can heat cause the plants to sag and leaf edges to curl under
Im only a noob its my first grow

Um im not sure wat the pH is but i use water from the tap and let it sit out for a while before giving it to the plants

ok because they were exposed to alot of heat for about 5 hours maybe, the plants that are fucked up are both indica and the other one is a sativa and it looks great

cool.. just lay off the foliar feeding on the ones with the droop and curling. Post some pics if you can.

yea ... that just means that one is a little heartier than the other two and can handle a little more nutes ... nothing strange about it at all tbh ...

What size pots are your plants in? Have they been recently transplanted?
nowaydude1011
Active Member
Umm the pots hold a little over 12 cups of soil and the plants are all about a foot, a foot an 5 inches", and no they have been in the same pot that they sprouted in

They may have outgrown the pots. Your initial description of the problem sounded to me like either they had shock from a recent transplant or they had out grown their pots.
