Grow info:
Indoor 2' x 4' x 6' tent
900w LED light
7gal fabric pots with soil
Week 7 of flowering (switched to 12/12 on 1/9/19)
Strains: Left - Papaya Fem (Nirvana)
Right - Bubblelicious Fem (Nirvana)

So I accidentally neglected my girls for a couple days and they got severely dehydrated with very droopy leaves. I immediately watered them that morning and by the afternoon the leaves had perked back up but that was over a week ago now and one of them appears to not be doing so great. The leaves are very thin and canoed down as well as having the 90 degree bent tips.

When they were dehydrated 2/15 am


Approximately 10 hours after watering 2/15 pm


Today 2/22
The plant on the left is the one I'm worried about.







A little more backstory: I had been adding nutrients to their water every time I watered them which was every 3 days or so (whenever the top 1/2" of soil felt dry). But they started getting the 90 degree tip bend on just a few leaves which after some research I assumed was either from too much nutrients or too much water so I was going to give them an extra day or two past when I would have normally watered them and discontinue nutrients all together. Well the 2/15 pic is 2 days after I would have normally watered them so obviously that was too long. I've only been giving them plain tap water since but still going by the same schedule as before.

Gday bb,

At a guess i'd say you over did the fertilizer.
If your soil does / did need nutrition, i'd only apply once a week, if that really.

I can see your soil has plenty of perlite, so i doubt it's a drainage issue.

On which date was your last feed?

Watering schedule? Plenty of waste runoff?

I'd be inclined to stick to plain water @ ph6.5 - 7.5, and see if it picks itself back up in a couple waterings.

Best of luck, all the best for harvest.

Idk why my images are broken now but I'll try re-uploading them.

The soil is Fox Farms Ocean Forest.
The nutrients I have are the "General Hydroponics GH5100 General Organics Go Box" from Amazon. I was following their schedule except cutting the amount in half.
They seemed fine with the nutrients up until around week 4-5 of flowering.
Last feed would have been around 2/10.
I usually give each plant about 1/2 gallon which is just about enough for it to start running out the bottom.

Pictures are not loading on other threads either.
Just notice you posted more, those didn't load.
Might have to try later or tomorrow.

take a chopstick or sharp shish kabob stick and poke a lot of little holes a couple inches down into the soil to open it up again, and then don't let it dry out again because it becomes hydrophobic
