Droopy plants, can’t figure out what’s wrong

[Thomasholdt]

Try to keep RH in check, let the pots dry until they feel very lightweight, then water to a little or about 10% runoff. Repeat.

I did some defoliation, adjusted the lighting and let them dry out, watered til a little runoff. I’m thinking about flipping soon, what do you think?

No more droop! Given the size of your tent, flipping to flower might not be a bad idea.

I forgot... Is this your first grow? They look pretty nice at this point, and if you're eager to get moving then flipping it is probably fine. Maybe one more dry back and water before you do that? That will give them some days to settle in with another good watering cycle, and some time to see if your lighting and environmental conditions are in good shape. Another node and set of leaves wouldn't hurt.

They should be healthy when you flip.

Bravo, sir!

Yes .. first grow.

I’ll give the to next feed and then flip. Thanks a lot..

No worries! Please come back with some updates! You got this.

Is that a humidifier in the tent?
It looks a little over watered to me but mist from the humidifier getting on the leaves will show similar symptoms.

I think I'm having same problem. Just started using a evaporative humidifier. The old one broke. The one now has a fan that sits over open water blows up into the air.

I would say back off on nutes, kind of looks like a N issue to me. let the soil dry out a good amount before watering again and just give them water. be careful with molasses, its better used as a soil amendment imo as it takes so long to break down in the soil and it has anti fungal properties. doubt its a cal mag issue so cut the epsom salt, if you feel like you have a cal mag issue amino acids are good for the soil or a foilar spray of cal mag will give the right touch. I can see why you might think its a mag defficency but I think its a too much N issue.

There's a situation I call "over-watering by under-watering" that we see sometimes. It might apply here. It happens when pots full of media that hold onto water hard are watered frequently with small volumes. The roots are chronically starved for air. In heavily-amended peat-based mixes, I water slowly to runoff, which usually takes between a quarter and a third of the pot volume. Then they get a relatively lengthy dryback period. I don't know how big your pots are, but 500 ml of water would be for pots between 1.5 L and 2 L. For pots bigger than that, watering in an amount that small means you have to water too frequently. I'm not sure if that's what's going on here, but it might be worth considering.

I know what you mean, and sometimes the solution for over watered plants is watering because the soil is starved of oxygen and fresh water will bringing fresh dissolved oxygen, when plants are around this stage you sometimes need to water and then let them dry down as the roots become established. even of they seem like there is slower foliage growth the roots are hard at work.
