What is happening to my plant?

Stop watering 20oz everyday. Give it a good drink until you see about 20 percent run-off then wait a couple days before watering again. Before you do that let the soil dry out a good bit. How close are your lights? Leds needs to be 18-24in away. You can cut out that RO water too, just save yourself the hassle and use tap, if you really want to, let it sit out 24 hours. Are you using any nutrients?

I agree with CaliSmokes. All solid advice. The plant looks overwatered from the looks of it. Some of the roots might have dried out too much, giving it the differing top and bottom growth. Water a lot, but infrequently. Let it dry out before you rewater if your medium is soil.

Don't think that is all related to overwatering but maybe indirectly. What temps? If I were a betting man I would say too cold too wet. A plant drinks much less when it is cold. This may be causing some nutrient deficiencies that I am starting to see. Can you get a small heater? What are you feeding them?

too much water, too little drinking. soggy cold purple feet. The cold is probably causing an pH/iron,phos issue as well. I don't use tents but find out what heater is safe to use (I would think an oil filled electric)

Ok so I have a bubba kush plant growing under 2 mars hydro 300w lights in a 12 gal air pot. About a week ago I missed a watering. I water it with ro water and about 20oz of water a day. After that it has looked like this ever since.

It looks like overwatering (that bloat and droop, and I can't tell, but looks like a fading of P/K/Mg, but with the lights, I could be wrong) and you might also be overfeeding. Plus cold.

If it's not that, it's probably a lesbian.

Do you think a 150 watt hps light will heat the tent up enough? I would rather use light for heat and gain the extra light over use if a plug in heater

Thanks for all the help guys. I just ordered at 150w hps for only $65 on Amazon. I will repost after I get it installed

Be careful with it. If you manage to get cold water on it, or something else, those things can become a violent shit storm of hot ass sodium particles.

I have used hps lights in the past. This is my 5th grow just first in soil and with LED lights. I have never had issues with my grow being too cold but I guess that's something I have to deal with now with the leds.

Any plant with a weak root system could always use some rapid start... by general hydroponics I think. I've used it during veg. And with plants having a hard time rooting. Worth a try?
