Trying to take care of plants while my husband is away working. I don’t know much about growing any of this so my eye is not trained to pick up on any problems as quickly as others. Plants are about seven weeks into flower I’ve been giving Sensi bloom every other week, sugaree last week, cha-Ching three days ago and flawless finish yesterday. The leaves appear to be burning. The one directly under the light has curling/claws and the other plants appear to be burnt. I cannot move the light up anymore. I read somewhere that I should try to bend the plants that I’m afraid I will break them. Any advice? Can they be saved? Including pictures of the lights because I’m not sure what these are

You also might want to work on filling this out while you wait for one of them

Add anything else you feel would help us give you a most informed answer. Feel free to elaborate, but short, to the point questions and facts will help us help you
What ph are you watering at and have you checked your run off ppm and ph ?
Type of soil are you in
There are a lot of variables and the Support Ticket really needs to be completed. Looks like there are a couple of different things going one here. The droopy leaves could be under watering, over watering or the plants are root-bound. Also a ph issue as well as @Countryboyjvd1971
They are definitely too close to the lights as well.
Waiting for the support ticket @ajimenez468

Strain; Type, Bag seed, ILGM… name of strain:
A couple are labeled as Kush and I believe the others are white widow
Age from Sprout:
not sure, went in to flower first week of July
Soil in pots, Hydroponic, or Coco / Brand and type of Soil & Size of Pots:
in 5 gallon pots, used fox farms soil and perlite
How often do you water and how do you determine when to do so?
Water just about daily since we’ve had a heat wave for the last month. If
I’m adding nutrients then I’ll skip a day before and make sure there is run
off when I add nutrients then skip the next day
PH of water and runoff or solution in reservoir: ph is 6.0 when watering
but never checked ph of run off
What is strength of nutrient mix? EC, or TDS: not sure what this means
Indoor or Outdoor: indoor
Light system, size and height from plants: there is 1 - 1000w light and 2
led lights, got little pink and blue bulbs (not sure the size but still
trying to find that) and way to close to plants - maybe 4" away
Temps; Day, Night:
day about low to mid 90’s, night low 80’s maybe high 70’s
Humidity; Day, Night:
currently at 30% but I normally see it from 40 to 50%. Not sure what it
is at night
Ventilation system; Yes, No, Size:
there is a can lite filter (6"x16") and 6" inline fan with a duct going
from that to the 1000w light and another duct going out of the light, out
of the tent to a window
AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier: no
Co2; Yes, No: no
Trying to find as much information as I can to give you. Again my husband
went away for work and I don’t know what I’m doing… Just trying to keep
these alive. Thanks so much for all the help

@ajimenez468 First and foremost you do need to get those tops away from the lights. Not a huge amount but 8" minimum. If it were me, I would lightly tie a string or other cord on the tallest branch and try to (gently) pull it down (from as high up on the branch as you can get) and try to tie it off in it’s mildly bent position. If needed do this to each branch threatening to touch the lights.

@bob31…so my ph is to low. I’ll be sure to raise when watering
And @Screwauger, thanks for the tip. I’ll go pick some string up shortly

yes, you need to water at 6.5 ph @ajimenez468 Check the ph after you have added everything to the water that you need (nutes)
Also I think you water too frequently. What kind of pots are they in? Are they soft sided cloth pots or hard sided. Are they light enough to pick up or would you be more comfortable in using you finger to determine dryness?
@Screwauger is bullseye on tying them off to get them away from the lights.
Also my guess by looking at the buds is that the lights were changed to 12/12 on July 6th? Those buds still look kinda young to me!

They are in black plastic pots. I think using my finger to determine moisture is easier. I’d hate to damage them any further by moving them.
And can’t say for sure when they went to 12/12. My husband just said first week of July.
Sorry it took so long to reply… It said I reached my maximum number of posts for the first day

@ajimenez468 sounds good. When you get your finger down into the soil past the first knuckle and it is dry then it is time to water. I would let them dry out a couple of days before you even check them again. You should notice the leaves starting to perk back up as well.
Usually you can tip the plastic pots a little to make sure they are getting dry. Sort of weight testing them without picking them up all of the way.
have you tied the tops over yet? Keep us posted!
hey I see you said your around Week 7 flower i’m not sure if you have a plant that takes 8-10 weeks to flower or a 12-14week flowering plant it looks like a 8-10week flowering plant to me if it is you should lay off the nutrients completely and flush it clean of all the chemicals your using 5gal pots so a 15 gallon flush of PH’d water at 6.5 & also I use 5 gallon pots as well everytime I water I run at least 1-1.5 gals in it and I feed no more than 2 times a week sometimes once a week so if your watering daily your definetly over watering in a 5 gal 2-3x a week should be great watering everyday can kill the plant it can overdose on nutrients, rot the roots with mold, and also cause lockouts
@bob31 I tied tops down but my husband ended up coming home for a few days and moved things around in the tent. He said it looks ok. I’m so glad cause I was worried that I was killing em and yeah @Nitro, he confirmed I am overwatering. Didn’t realize how much harm overwatering can do. Thanks for all the tips guys
