Need help to diagnose my plant

[Murcid]

So I have an auto in a 5-gal cloth bag and I am not under watering or over watering it. Do you guys have any idea as what is going on and why the leaves are drooping especially the new growth?

I have been doing some research and I think it might be potassium def.

Over watering. Possible also high humidity?

we refer to overwatering here, not so much in terms of frequency of grower's (you) watering - but in terms of moisture retention of the growing medium (which does affect the frequency of the watering...). that's as elegantly as i can describe overwatering...anyway, what's your growing medium?

did these plants go bad just recently?

finally, what about pH? pH imbalances leads to many 'deficiencies' thru lockouts, etc.

I don’t think I’m over watering, but I’ll cut down and see if that’s what it is thanks!

Probably been like this for a week, I think there might’ve been a ph imbalance.

Thanks for your replies @Kampbe1l and @Aqua Man

Exactly how much water do you give each and how often?

Recommend a slurry test of your soil, post pH & ppm results; agree with over-watering

So I give the auto maybe 3 cups of nut water every two days

slurry test is getting equal parts di water and soil right mixing and measuring right?

Nutrient lockout from over feeding. Looks similar to mine when I tried to force feed them a ton to get growth before flowering started.

That's not enough man, you're underwatering too frequently and likely getting lockout. You should water with enough solution to completely saturate the pot u til you get a little runoff out the bottom. Then leave it until its dry and light weight again, several days assuming this is soil. Coco is a bit different. What are you growing in?

 

[Aqua Man]

Yeah I could have made the mistake of thinking underwatering but that would not explain those leaves being puffy. Kinda not making sense to me

This is what happened to me. I have several different strains and some could handle the small daily watering/feeding but some couldn’t and of course pot size had a lot to do with it. Then I tried to force feed on and lost her, she was a good 4’ tall and big.

It doesnt make sense really, but 3 cups every couple days for a 5 gallon pot isnt even close to enough water. I'd be giving them 1.5 gallons each feeding or more

Soil Ph Slurry Test - Step By Step With Photos

Knowing the pH of your growing medium is important from time to time. The soil pH slurry test is the easiest way of finding the true pH level of your soil based growing medium. For this you'll need: pH Meter - Cheap Amazon pH Pen - Blue Lab pH Pen - Blue Lab Soil pH Pen Cup or Container -...

The root ball is probably the size of a 1 qt bag. Can't grow into the dry pockets. Same as giving 3 cups every other day to a plant in a small pot with root rot. IDK hope you can save it.

Yeah good point.
