I could be mistaken a “droop” for the plant getting bigger and heavier. This is my first grow. Im comparing what I see now to the last pic I posted. There the leaves are stretching and laying almost flat. Through veg I never saw the leaves droop like they are now.
As for the light, about every other day I measure and make sure I’m 24" above the plant. That’s the recommended hight in late veg and bloom.
I try not to have runoff. I’ve never watered enough to see it. I just try and have consistency with my PH going in.
Mixed up my first flower feed last night and fed today, day 30. Mixed with RO water in a half gallon jug and fed about 3/4 of the jug. I’m still freaked out by the nutes and I don’t want to kill my plants.
Big bloom- 1.75ml
Grow big- 1.25ml
Tiger bloom- 1.25ml
Open sesame- 1/8 teaspoon
When first mixed:
PH- 5.4 PPM- 480
PH up added:
PH- 6.4 PPM- 520
12 hours later:
PH- 6.4 PPM- 535
Runoff after feed:
PH- 6.2
I tested the PPM of the runoff in the high 1700s but there were obvious particles in the water. I’m researching more about how to test runoff.
Now adding open sesame and emerald harvest honey chone
Turned bloom switch on last week
It’s been drooping on an off lately. Thought it was an over/ under watering issue, maybe stress from LST, root bound, no signs of over feeding, stunted growth? These plants are small compared to what I see on here. Genetics?
Click to zoom. Looks like pistols already? Any ideas?
The bigger one showed signs of flowering early also. I feel like my plants are very small compared to what I see online. Any thoughts?
Probably switching to emerald harvest nutrients and DWC after this grow. Fox farm kind of sucks in my opinion. Too much guessing with autos and not enough info online. As far as soil goes, I see better results with DWC.
I think I’ve had my light 6-8 inches too high. I’ve been keeping it at 24 inches the past few weeks but noticed the recommended flower hight is 18". Could this be why my plants have been drooping?
They have been watered recently and the soil is still damp so I don’t think it’s water. I also added a co2 jug last night.
what are you using for soil? that’s a pretty low ph for most soils and the ppm is telling you time to flush your soil your droopy leaves are likely due to nutrient lockout lol I see your runoff was closer to right so most likely a build up I would flush rinse soil with 3-4 times container volume ph adjusted water to lower ppm closer to 900-1100 she’s not a monster plant so your ppm is pretty high
caught that as I was writing hence quick edit I still would suggest a flush that’s a very high ppm for a smaller plant salt build ups create lockouts just like ph
Yeah I may flush tomorrow. When I tested ppm of the run off, there were soil particles everywhere in the runoff. Not sure if that has anything to do with the high reading.
ppm is dissolved solids floating soil and dirt is not dissolved and rarely effects reading which is based or measured by waters conductivity soil particles are too large
Dude thank you for that info. So my plant is probably !@#$ed lol I’m going to flush with sledgehammer when I get home. It’s been so hard for me to find answers to simple questions. I don’t have anyone around to ask. Thank you.

They recover from many kinds of abuse I wouldn’t sweat it their forgiving nature lets you make mistakes and learn from them and typically doesn’t cost you dead plants
