I can't believe nobody else thinks they are over ferted.....I would flush them for sure, and start the nutes back at an 1/8 strength. If no improvement then I'd try foliar feeding. It def. looks like too much nutes to me.

They were droopy, I transplanted, they perked right back up, they drooped back down in a couple of days.

Yea, FoxFarm. Blue bottle? I've never seen GrowBig in a blue bottle at any of the hydro shops or websites I've been to.

I'll cut back on the nutes for a bit, see if that helps.

Thanks.

it looks less like overwatering an more like underwatering on the droopy plant..how established are the roots to the bucket it could be struggling for water still....the smaller plant looks like its not liking its food that hot...cut back to 3mlper gal.....flush that one first tho...peace az

I'll cut back the clone to just water.


Underwatering? If everyone is telling me I'm overwatering, I know how to fix that. If everyone is telling me it's underwater, I know how to fix that. But now I'm getting a mix of overwatering and underwatering. It's a fucking weed. Why is this so hard?

Anyone else want to put in a vote for underwatering?

Get something to stake it straight and then get some 6500K CFLs and put them 2-3" directly above them.

i know from experenice with the buckets that as long as that hole aint clogged you would be hard pressed to overwater...but if the roots arnt established enough yet you can underwater very ez.....untill the roots are at the bottem watering everyday is key imo...peace az

Alright...I've accepted you as the go to source of info for all things hempy. I'm going to accept your theory. But if you're wrong and they die...I'll get pissed but then smoke a bowl and get over it.

So, you think I should just be watering everyday now?

Like Az is saying, from everything I've heard it is extremely hard to overwater a hempy bucket, especially before the roots reach the reservoir at the bottom of the bucket.

Also, Royalnobody. Position the lights ABOVE the plants, but only about 2 inches or less above them. Notice, that the plants are growing TOWARDS THE LIGHT! One other thing, they're stretched as fuck! A very big sign that there is not enough light and its too far away from the plants.
