Hi crew! 4x Green Crack under 2x 300w LED. Coco coir 100%, 8 gal pots. Had little to no issues so far, a bit of Nitrogen deficiency as I try to get things tuned in on my first ever grow. Got some help from guys on here, upped the EC a little and they have responded beautifully...mostly. My second biggest girl at back right, who has always been very low and flat, has now decided to droop. Just those first 5-fans, new growth looks good, greener than ever after the upped Nutes, but now this, just as of 6 hours ago. They are getting 125ml waterings 4 times a day at 2.1 EC, with 1.3 EC out, pH to 5.9. Get 15-20% run off consistently. She was fine this morning, got watered and. an hour later looked like this. All the more weird because - look at the other 3!! Absolutely kissing the sun, this lady meanwhile wants to flop. Two things I can identify that make this plant the odd one out:
1. Always been lower and flatter. To the point that it is so low to the ground, that the first true leaves are draping the soil. You can see I'm even using a Vortex spray as a strut to hold up the loooong petiole leaf that was flopping. Should I be trimming the finger leaves that are lying on wet soil? Is that creating disease/pest risk?
2. (possibly the cause of point 1) - the fan. The plant was definitely lower and flatter already, and the fan is pointing up so if anything she gets less air than the others, but still enough to tremble the leaves and keep her moving. But I'm wondering if the clever girl in all her wisdom is sensing the breeze above and saying 'not going up there'. Could the leaves be windburned? Just weird that only that set is looking lazy, the lower ones are obviously very long and hard to support, but look green and normal (to me, a first time grower :D), the new growth looks vibrant, beautiful, vibrant support shoots coming out underneath ready to go off when she's topped, but these leaves look rank.
Any support as always greatly appreciated. Hoping it's as simple as moving the fan, can't put my finger on why there'd be a nutrient issue, but if there is hopefully you can identify from the above info.
Also I have been upping the lights this week, gone from 15-25 DLI (about 400 PPFD) as we move into hard veg mode after seeding. 400 not particularly crazy for this point of their development from what I can see - and as I say, doesn't look like the other 3 are particularly unhappy about it. :). Cheers all, peace.
