One of my plants started dropping bottom leaves. Normally, I wouldn't worry too much about that during flowering but these leaves are still green. That's not right. And, I brush my hand upward along the plant and about 5 or 6 leaves fell right off.
The bottom of the plant has been looking a little "droopy" for some time but I let it go and have just been watching it. Just today I noticed that the "droopies" are going higher up the plant. And, although I have been loosing some lower leaves, it's been nothing like what I got today. I thought Fall had come to my grow room. LOL
This looks like a classic case of over watering to me.
They get 1 gallon a day (1/2 gallon each). Now and then I skip a day and now and then I give them 2 gallons.
The soil on top has become very compact. Not the soil itself because my mix is mostly sand and perlite. Rather, the roots are so dense at the top of the pot that it is desert dry.
I can stick my pinkie finger in the drain holes toward the bottom of the pots and they feel dry to the touch. Certainly not soaked.
Overall the plant looks healthy (it's the plant on the right in the last pictures)
What else can cause the "droopies" and leaf dropping like this?
Thanks
