Okay, I've had my plants for around 18 days now and I'm wondering about a few of them. The color looks fine, they're starting to get lots of secondary and tertiary growth, however, a few of the leaves have drooped, not necessarily on the end, but kind of on the sides, forming an upside down "C". The leaves also feel dry, like paper to the touch. I've been reading a few of the problem threads and I believe this to be a moisture issue....Perhaps watering too little, perhaps too much. I will purchase a moisture meter later today. However, I wanted you guys's opinions...I'll try to put up a few pics later.
For the record, for my nutrients, I am using Miracle grow plant food. Its very diluted, and my watering schedule is every other day, one squirt of a water/nute mix (.25 tablespoons per 32 oz. water) and two squirts of distilled water. I'm also misting the leaves like twice a week with the distilled water.
Drainage is another issue to consider. It's nonexistent. Due to inexperience I put all my plants in one big tupperware container with no drain holes of any kind hoping to save space. For those of you saying "you idiot" You're right I'm beating myself up over it and won't repeat that mistake on the next grow.
Any opinions/requests for further information/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
