Hello, I'm having trouble with my plants again. both plants are 35 days old. The first one the leaves are turning light green almost yellow and the leaves are drooping. The drooping is bad some times but other times it gets better. The second one is doing great except it droops some times. I'm feeding them fox farms big grow at 6-4-4 and big bloom at 0-0.5-0.7 every other watering. I really don't think I'm over watering. I'm using a mars hydro ts-600 led light. I'm on a 18/6 light cycle. I'm using fox farms ocean forest potting mix. Its the two plants to the back of the tent. I'm also using a clay pot on left and a mesh grow bag on the right. The grow bags are really hard to get the soil evenly saturated . This causes dry spots in the soil. Any help would be much appreciated.

Drooping and saggy without spots or yellowing edges makes me think of over- or underwatering.

As an observation, some of those leaves are a dark, dark green. That is an indication of too much nitrogen.

I've never used Fox Farms, but I've heard that soil doesn't need extra nutrients for some time. Sorry I can't help more than that.

Hi mate did you ever find out what was going on? Mine look just like this, I was using Mars hydro ts 3000 x2 and it looks overwatered.
My thinking is maybe that transpiration rates change alot under led lights and if its less then it can look like overwatering issues.
I'm still trying to figure this out so it's just theory at the moment.
I've just switched out the led to 2x hps to see if they'll come back a bit.
Did your leaves feel papery like bank notes?
Let me know if you found a solution thanks.

Hi there, I'm almost positive it was over watering. The funny thing was that plant with the yellow leaves turned out to be the nicest out of all of them. Thanks for getting back to me after all this time.

I just let it dry out and then cut back on watering
