If you're just using regular ProMix it isn't soil but a soilless mix. Your plant is nute starved. Try adding worm castings or using hydro nutes.

No re-veg. That was a seed.
It's sisters moved on and were re-veged.
That plant was around 5-6 weeks old when i snapped the pix.
It reminded me of a palm tree. lol
I still have a papaya hanging out.
Cloned 20X times by now.

Good stuff, I use GH in my hydro grows. The problem could be pH. ProMix is largely peat moss which can easily go acid if you're not careful. At any rate, looks like a nitrogen or magnesium deficiency. A low pH would certainly explain a magnesium lockout.

yeah it def would slow it down. but just for this reason i left them dry for a extra couple days no sign of recovery.

Overwatering + peat moss can easily lead to a low pH (acid) condition. Test the pH of your runoff.

I screwed up a batch of soil from adding too much blood meal.
Thought it would be easier to add it than to do the cal-mag thing.
I use epson salts for cal-mag and never touched blood meal again.

Thanks for all the replies guys I really appreciate it but I haven't been overwatering which is the funny part about the droopy leaves. I let it dry out for a day or two then give it a nice drink. And saucyaussie that's a good idea I will test the run off ph and see if that leads to any solution.
ok, i just want to let you know that i also thought i was watering correctly lol. i Was watering like every 3 days(the top 2 inches of soil were dry) and was told i was over watering. Have you tried watering by weight? I was told to, and am alot more comfortable with it then the finger method. my plant container + dry soil is like 415g. so i knnow whenever it gets around that weight it needs a drink(which has been like 6 days, rather than 3)

Yeah I know what you mean man and honestly the first week or two I most likely did over water it. Rookie mistake so It's very possible. I just know that the past week or two I've been letting it get dry for a day or two and make sure the pot is light but I'd say I've been doing it correctly lately. I never realized how much went Into growing until I decided to give it a try but I have absolutely loved it. Such an enjoyable hobby even though it would be more enjoyable if my plant was happier lol

Hey just giving a little update on what I did today.. It was time to water today and I ph'd the water to 6.5 and gave it a nice drink and then I tested the runoff which was also 6.5. So I hope now that It's definitely getting water with the right ph I may see a difference but the plant was a little bit more droopy due to needing a watering but there was some more leaf growth. I'm excited to see if it looks better within the next few days. Keepin my fingers crossed!

Just another update... Looks like my fox farm nutes will be in the mail anytime today and I'm going to transplant to a bigger pot and maybe use a sprayer with 1/4 strength nuts In it (fox farm "grow big") to moisten the soil in the new pot to just add a little bit of nutes to help it recover from the transplant. The reason i just wanna spray is because i just watered it yesterday and i dont wanna over water it. I think it may do it some good. If anyone thinks this is a bad idea please let me know because I'm new to all this and take all the advice I can get. It probably won't be for another 7 hours that I plan to do this so it gives some time for someone to give me some Insight.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm pumped! I got to check on my plants. (I also have a white widow fem). But I checked it today after watering it with 6.5 ph water and it looks a hell of a lot happier! The white widow looks overwatered I think cause it's too big of a pot and I put too much water but it too had tremendous growth compared to yesterday aside from its droopy leaves which now have some dark brownish spots on the leaves? Ill post pics of it later but here's the plant I've been having the most trouble with..

If thats 4 weeks old I'd pitch it and start again with something else.

Stop fucking with this plant. Half these jack asses and their ph solution bs. If want that bitch to survive, I suggest you yank that bitch out because you are definitely over watering. Transplant to another pot. Let the roots dry out. Remove all bottom foliage. Leave top node. Some of you assholes do way too much.

Alright I transplanted it. Ill wait and see what happens. I always wait til the pot is dry and is light before I water so I really don't understand how I over water? Any advice on watering?

Throw her in 12/12. Will cause stretching; see if that helps. I'd hate to see you waste your time, but if you have other plants goin then i guess there's no harm done.
