Drooping fan leaves

This is a feminized strain Cherry Burger. I recented replanted her in Fox Farm soil. I am feeding her distilled water mixed with molasses and liquid seaweed. She looks healthy and strong but her fan leaves stay droopy. They never reach for the light. What am I doing wrong?

Plants actually look pretty good. I would suggest allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

I am guessing, that the type of pot that you are using is not letting the roots breathe very well.
Also could be overwatering, or humidity too high. Try to maintain about 55% rh for awhile.

Yeah, it looks like a little overwatered. I should know, done it before myself.
Grow bags provide excellent drainage, maybe try those.

May drill some more drain holes in your pots.

Which happy frog soil, some are very rich and the seaweed on top maybe is overwhelming. Good luck, read lots!

Thank you for the feedback. I repotted them in 10 gallon grow bags and backed off of watering so much. It worked like a charm. All the leaves are reaching towards the sky and they maintain their color.


Update. They were definitely not feeling the pots that I had them in. I think it retained too much water. The cloth bags helped with draining and they started taking off. Still watering with distilled water, liquid seaweed and molasses but not as often.

Great, you should sit the bag on an elevated stand. This will prevent the run off from being adsorbed back into the bag, and this will reduce the salt buildup in the bottom of the bag. The plant on the left side of the picture, is sitting on two stands, in order to rise it’s hight.
Also the vinyl ring around the inside top of the bag helps prevent the water from running out through the top of the bag. When the soil is dry on top, as it should be before watering.
