I have 4 plants in 80 80 growbox, ~18 days old (flipped to 12/12 5 days ago) with spiderfarmer SE3000 300 watt lamp, hanging about 15 inches away, currently on ~70% power(maybe it was a bit too much) temperature is about 26-30C(77-86F) day and 20C(68F)at night, constant humidity about 50% the plants are - apple blossom/hella jelly by humboldt, dosidos by barneys and lemon picon purple city all growing in 1.5gallon fabric pots in soil medium (Biobizz LightMix with extra 20% perlite)
I was expecting this to be the perfect grow, and really tried not to overwater it - for the first 5 days I was giving them about 50-100ml per day, then I progressed to 250ml every 2days. There was I day, when I think I accidentally watered them 2 days in a row(because I wanted to quickly give them nutes, cause they seemed a little yellowish), but the amount was the same - about 250 ml, mixed with half-strength AN sensi grow AB, and on the other day I found that all plants except apple blossom were droopy. As the amount of water still wasnt a lot I was confused, because the soil were never soakingly wet. Today it’s been about 3 days since I last watered it, soil now is not an inch dry, but half an inch for sure - I thought it should get better by that time - but I think they even look worse. Apple Blossom(lower left) been not showing any problems, Hella Jelly (top right) is not showing any progress, DosiDos(lower right) became a bit more droopy and curly, Lemon picon(top left)is somewhere in between.
My general question - if it’s overwatering, how soon plants usually recover in given conditions? I’m concerned accidentally underwater it as well, because if the droopy leaves persist even when soil is really dry - it feels like I have to water them anyways.
Also I know, that all watering guidlines put a big emphasis on the run off - which I never had during that grow, as the water also brings oxygen to the plants… maybe that’s the cause as well?
I think about waiting for 1 more day(soil will surely be dry an inch deep) and giving them enough water to drain through, but im not sure its a right idea,when the plant is already looking overwatered?
Or could it be the light that causing the problem, because the leaves are curly as well?
Will be very thankful for the help, as it’s the best seeds I could barely ever get and I don’t want them to turn into another shitty grow…
