I'm using soil and I water when the top 2 inches is dry. I watered about 4 days ago. Then I just did a deep water right before this photo. They werent drooping as much but still droopy. So.. maybe I'll try pulling back the watering and see if there is a difference.Your plants could be drooping like that because of too much light, incorrect pH, or too much watering. Your light manufacturer should have some info about hang height. If that's Coco, you should only be watering when the pot is light and easy to pick up to give the roots time to oxygenate. If your light height and watering is on point your leaves will be level with the ground or even pointing up (praying) towards the light.
Until you get that plant happy you can expect a small harvest.
I also have been PHing my water that is store-bought spring water. It normally falls around 6.8. Ive also been playing with light height so err could be a factor, its definitely not powerful and I have another thread where I posted the light specs. I think the PPFD/PAR value is like 1200. The recommended bloom and veg heights weren't cutting it though I just recently got more growth my lowering the light.I'm using soil and I water when the top 2 inches is dry.

Maybe its a watering a pot issue I am having then. Are your lights a true 300W LED? Mine only draws 135w actually, so almost a 1/3 of the strength of actual 300WI have two 300 LEDs that are similar to that one. The diodes are magnified so you might be surprised how high you can hang that light. I've been around 24-36" hang height for my seedlings through veg

Hmm.. can you hit some of these key points?
- Type of soil they're planted in
- Current Ph of Soil & Nitrogen levels, phosphorus and soluble potash levels
- Water source & Ph levels before and after introducing your nutes
- Ambient temp and humidity in your grow space
Mine says runs 120w +/-5. I think you're overwatering and your lights could stand to move up a bit. You could still salvage a good harvest. Just wait to switch them over to 12/12 for when you've built the canopy up.Maybe its a watering a pot issue I am having then. Are your lights a true 300W LED?

s autoflower so we will see what I harvest, I’m going to move the lights up some and see how she reacts to it. Maybe a bit of both is affecting her droopy leaves.Mine says runs 120w +/-5.

That’s not proper coco feeding advice. Plants need fed at least every day, regardless of moisture level. Coco is unique from soil in that its ability to provide aeration to the roots is far better than soil. Also, coco doesn’t get water logged and has much better drainage which is why coco plants are fed every day. Every time you feed, oxygen is brought to the roots.Your plants could be drooping like that because of too much light, incorrect pH, or too much watering.

My bad. You did mention it's an auto. Hope you can pull her out of her funk.It

I'm sorry you don't like my advice but it is what works for me. Later in life I feed every day because of the demands of the plants but at this stage in veg it's very easy to overwater even in Coco. I speak from the experience of having overwatered in Coco just giving 1000ml a day, causing telltale drooping. When I stopped the schedule and started watering when the pots were light the plants immediately started praying up to the light and growing better and healthier. This is just my experience.That’s not proper coco feeding advice. Plants need fed at least every day, regardless of moisture level.

Ocean ForestJust need a little clarity- are you in Fox Farms Ocean Forest or a Coco base?
