Hey guys,

I am a new grower with a question. I know that pics would help a lot, but I can't get them right now, so I'll try and describe the situation as best I can. So I started growing about three weeks ago and was really careless about it. I threw some seeds into a solo cup and figured nothing would come of it. However, I got four seedlings. So we uped the anty and bought a 120 watt light (weak, I know) with good soil and pots. The light was placed app. 8 inches away from the plants (4) and they were growing fine. They were getting mists from a febreeze bottle, so they were getting 25 -- 45 mls a day of water. We uped their water intake to about 100 mls of water a day about two weeks ago with 16 hours of light. We noticed that all of the leaves started drooping. We thought that overwatering was the issue, so we left them dry for about two/three days. The two top plants (with the most growth and they were also the ones who sprouted first as they were all in one solo cup at one time) recovered and they are doing fine. The other two seem to be lagging behind and their leaves are still droopy. They are still green in color and they seem to be growing. Except that their leaves are droopy. All four have the exact same conditions, except that two have droopy leaves. Don't know what the problem is and don't know what to do about it. If you guys could help, that would be great. Sorry for the long post. Thanks.

Stop watering so Damned much!!!
Water only when the soil is dry 1-1.5" down in the pot.. These babies dont like soggy roots.

Did you get a co2 generator yet? You'll need that. Also a small fan circulating ari in the room. You'll need a lot more stuff too if you're serious about growing and want to treat your girls 'right.' Go on youtube, and watch videos on marijuana growing-there's a wealth of info. I don't know what kind of cups you have your poor babies in, but I wouldn't treat them like that. Most importantly, don't put more than one seed per cup/grow medium. They'll end up competing for life very soon, and will become rootbound and die unless you transplant into a larger pot. I recommend one 5 gallon bucket per plant. Good luck, and happy hunting.
