I have a blueberry auto flower that has gone droopy on me. She is about 3 weeks in flower. Being that I work at home and they are a couple rooms away, they are always kept in the ranges they should. 5.8 ph, temp 76-78, water temp never over 70, and humidity 40%-50%. Currently feed them the GH trio, right now little Beastie Bloom with some MPG 0-0-2 in place of hydrogro all is about 1200 - 1400 EC. The roots are crystal white, some of the best I have grown. The light is a 600 watt 20 inches from plant. And is on 20/4. I know I have good exchange the sides of the tent are sucked in.
Yesterday I did an EC check on it because it had been drooping and it was about 480 EC. I did change the bucket to straight water and MPG and the perked up after the lights came back on but was dropping again today. Did a bucket change today right before lights out with a full comp of nutes. I did add an additional airline because the roots are so tight in the bucket, probably due to I like to drop the water level a little in flower. About 3 gallons.
I can usually figure this out, know these blueberry autos pretty good, been getting up to 10 oz off a plant. So they like me, and I like them. lol Any help would be great
@smellybilge droopy autos, I would recommend giving them 12/12. See if it helps. It’s an auto. It still needs a rest period.
Hydro, probably need a larger airstone.
Check ph
A combination of all these could be.
Flowering my grow in 5 gallon buckets…they will go tru one gallon a day.
These are 4’ plants. Suggest you add more to make sure the root bound ladies have plenty of goodies needed. Essential to provide all the Lady needs.
@tanlover442 Opened bottom vents before night time and they perked straight up. I guess I would wilt also if I had my pants over my head huh? Question, She is in a little need for some CalMag. Question is when using CalMag do I need to run the PH up to 6.2 or will the CalMag be used by the plant @ 5.8? Thanks for the help.
that is not a sign of air exchange, it is a sign of negative pressure inside the tent.!
like Tan said… open some vents on the bottom. where is your thermometer located.?
u should be measuring temps at or above the canopy.!
she looks over or under watered, or heat stressed,
raise the light up as high as u can for now, this will relieve her some,
if she is over watered then u need more aerated nutrients,
if she is under watered idk what to do…???
if it is heat stress u need better air movement.
this is not good this early, u can get away with it later on when their water uptake slows,
for now they need as much of a res as they can get.!!
a plant that size could use 15-30 gallons of DWC.
@SlowOldGuy You were right on, exchange was bad. I had raised the light a bit. Best thing about this little bump is it responded quickly so it tells me she will be fine. Thanks
