Do these plants look healthy (no improvement)
    #648069 - 11/26/12 03:36 PM (11 years, 4 months ago)

I have noticed that the leaves seem to be drooping some and the leaves feel really crisp. The reason I find these issues cause I have read on several other forums that drooping leaves and a weird feel to the leaves can be a sign of unhealthy plants. What do you guys think. Thanks for any input.

If they are, then I will want to hear the diagnosis....as they also look
pretty healthy to my ignorant eye.

Good luck,

JD

Also, I wouldn't use foil. Foil reflects maybe 60% of light whereas flat white will reflect 99%.

I'm not saying anything is wrong, however they do look hot and maybe underwatered. Someone will stop by with more input.

This is very interesting to me, as I am also using a 600W HID lamp,
and am not certain how close I can take the lamp.

I am currently at about 2'

Good luck,

JD

Well I'd say maybe over watering.  I've found that in the beginning when growing from seed you can get some funkiness. 


How often are you actually watering, and how much each time.

It's best to use the back of your hand to set this up.
If it's to hot to the back of your hand then it'll be to hot to the plants.

We normally water them every 3 days and split a gallon of water between 5 plants

Yes, it was suggested that I leave my hand in place for a minute
to best gauge the situation.

I did this, and it seemed ok, and the initial reaction of the babies
was positive.

I begin to think that I am starting to see some leaf curl now though.

The row best centered under the lights:

Sweet Tooth:


AK-47:


Sweet Tooth:


The back row:

Low Girl:


Sweet Tooth:


BioDiesel Mass:


Like I wrote, my lamp is a good two feet above these plants, but it
is a 600W HID MH lamp so maybe that is still too close....esp for babies.

Any pointers appreciated.

Take care,

JD

Just to give you an idea, I pour in water slowly (not flooding) until it starts flowing from the bottom. Once the pots are dry, I do it again.
When plants are underwatered the leaves will thicken up because the plant is trying to retain as much water as possible.

Please don't hijack threads like this Java, if you have questions or concerns about your plants, make a thread about it.


You're watering them WAY too little per container.  Gallon minimum each watering.  Then you wait until it's dry.  I believe we've found part of your problem.

No worries Hawk.  Sorry OP.

It started as a related issue, but went too far.

It's going to take longer than that.  Even though you're using distilled water, I would recommend checking the pH. 


And make sure that they get pretty dang dry in between.  Plants that big should seriously take a week or longer to need it again, as long as you gave it a thorough saturation.
