Leaves All Pointed Down

[Bombayknox]

Should I be worried that all the leaves are pointing down?

Thank you. Cal mag too?

Well, your leaves look ok, I can't see any reason to use it personally. You only really use CalMag when you need to I.e symptoms. It normally tends to contain Nitrogen equal to or near the same amount as Calcium so you're not looking to put lots in. Calcium and Magnesium are Micro nutrients so the clue is in 'micro', small amounts. Actually your leaves look a little dark, if this isn't just natural for the plant, maybe you've been adding CalMag with your normal veg nutes? Too much Nitrogen will give you dark, shiny leaves, almost like the surface of a candle. CalMag contains nitrogen, remember? Me personally, if I'm applying Cal/Mag supplements to a vegging plant I like to use flower nutes instead so I'm not overdoing the nitrogen.

About the watering thing, I'm no expert but they look thirsty to me. However, a couple stems look almost like they are sagging under weight, which suggests over watering. You can answer that really, if you've recently watered then it was probably too much and the plant is either holding too much water or it's suffocating cos the roots aren't getting oxygen.

Or you've not watered recently and they're thirsty.

Like I said I'm no pro but I grow and since your leaves look pretty healthy I'd say nutes/lockout are not an issue. IMO

Thanks man. Honestly I’m gonna try watering, the only nutes I’ve used are in my soil mix. I’ve been watering with ro, and have used Cal mag every other watering Every couple days. I spray them daily with ro water /kelp extract

The leaves were down and yellow in your first thread, i would take a soil core with a hollow tube to see how moist the soil is at root depth before watering again. It could be dry but they dont take a lot of water in soil unless its hot. My opinion but your plants.

I agree with watering issue. I suggest picking up the pots. If they’re heavy leave them alone. If they’re light, water them. If in doubt, wait awhile and check again. After a few rounds of this you’ll get the feel for when they need water.

How come? Not really a cause for alarm, but definitely requires attention for sure :)

Water it

 

[dan1989]

So did you water it. Is it alive

Some plants have hanging leaves, if you want to perk up your plant add a bit of fresh pearlite next time you water, if you are worried check your ph it's a pretty good barometer on the health of your plant.
