Droopy plant

Outlaw8967 · Apr 25, 2020

Hey guys,

Having issues with one plant that has been droopy for 4 days. I stopped feeding it to let it dry. Today i pressed on the soil And watched water come out. Is this normal that it hasn’t dried out since it’s feeding from 4 days?

Nope.

Are you feeding it? It looks overfed and probably why its not uptaking anything.

Maybe stop feeding go to straight water.

Are those pipes your irrigation lines? If so that's pretty unorthodox...
What medium are they in? Looks like coco... the roots are suffering. Probably from watering/feeding too frequently.
You still need to go easy on watering until you have established roots, you cant just plunk it in coco and start drowning the media constantly.

Also they're sitting on drain pans, are you removing the runoff somehow or are they just sitting in it?

Thank you for the reply. They are in coco. I had them sitting in coco for days before I started feeding them to ensure the roots have been established. The other 39 plants don’t have any issues except this particular one. Have you encountered this issue? What do you advise I do? Currently , it hasn’t been fed for 4 days.

Well, first you didnt answer many of my questions, and those answers might help me help you more.

But at this point you have got root problems in that plant, and I suspect it's the canary in the coal mine. If it were my plant, I'd rinse with enzymes and microbes to try and break down dead roots and help protect the new root growth. You likely have a lot of dead root mass that needs to be broken down. I'd also jack humidity up into the 70's and I'd reduce the level of light to ease up on the pressure to grow so they can recover.

Did you pre charge the coco by rinsing it first to make sure it wasnt too salty and then load it up with Ca?

I know nowt about growing in coco, but if I had 39 plants and the canary was going tits up, I'd follow Dirtbag"s advice.

Do you leave the bags on the drip trays?

Even when you water do you drain the run off away from them or leave them sit in it ?

I feed just enough to prevent run off.

That's your problem buddy you need to water till 10 to 20 percent run off and get some pot risers under the bags the water logged and nutes burn .bad drainage.
