[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

What type of soil? Are you giving them any nutes?

 

[allmashedup]

soil is non nute soil. yeah im giving them biobizz flowering nutes, 3mls in every 1 litre of water.

 

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

Ok tell us everything you are doing as far as your plants go. How often are you watering? What kind of lightning? Soil? Nutes? Temps in your grow area and so on? Also here is a link that might help you getting pics up because they would really help alot.

Well for one thing, your pot is small.. need to get the next biggest size... im not sure if that is causing your drooping or not, i don't think so.

usually under HPS light, makes plants crispy yeah u will seee some yellowing leaves from the bottom its cuz the leaves under the rest dont get much lights like tops does.. I wouldnt worry if u got buds growing u know? u almost there dude

 

[bombbudpuffa]

Sounds like you need a transplant. Do you monitor your ph?

 

[SirSmoke-a-Lot]

You said u were in flowering... so guys i read that you shouldn't transplant when in flowering... but he deff needs it. Wanna explain on that experts, im just a beginner

 

[Runbyhemp]

I don't think pot size is the problem. You can grow a plant in anything ... it'll grow in relation to the size available to it.

Been plenty of 16oz cup grows and shot glass grows to verify that. Transplanting now will just affect yield.

How old are your plants and when did the problem start showing ?

How close to your light is the top canopy of your plants. It's very possible your light s a bit to close causing, them to become heat stressed and dy out. A rule I use with HID's is to place my hand at the top of the plant, and leave it there for one minute. If the back of your hand becomes warm, raise the light slightly to a point it's comfortable. As the plant grows, maintain this distance.
Hope this helps...B

airstone in your water bucket to help aireate and get rid of chlorine,flouride, ect... i dont know is just sitting out will clean yhe water like you want. i bubble mine for at least 24 hours.
if room is 79, how hot is it under the light? my room is 74f, 79 under the light.
how close is light? place the back of your hand at plants tops, if your hand gets hot, its too close.lol , i didnt read through till after i read brussels entry.

 

[allmashedup]

thanks to all of you for your time to answer back. im a bit confused as to what to do next. i still dont know wether to transplant. when you say it will affect the harvest, can you explain to me what will happen to the harvest if i do transplant, the leaves at the top and middle part of plant are not looking to bad. its the leaves down the bottom part. OHHHH! i dont know what to do

 

[andy52]

how tall is the plant.might be the bottom is not getting enough light.i think if you transplant now,it will put more energy into growing,rather than making flowers.

What is the ph of your water? I use tap water and leave mine out over night for 24hrs but I always check my ph after I mix in my nutes.
