First time grow, girls look a bit droopy, contrasting green, and curling.

So last Thursday night (9/15) I transplanted a couple of clones that I got at the dispensary into 5 gal smart pots each (fox farm soil). Been sitting in a space bucket (two 27 gallon bins) under galaxy hydro 300 W LED and an entire roll of the 5050 led strips at a 18/6 cycle. When I transplanted them I watered them with regular water (a gallon each) till I saw run-off. I thought I overwatered a bit and let them sit till last night (9/19) where I watered them again (soils was completely dry) this time with nutrient (because some leaves started to get light green while the veins were a deep green) - a gallon each till I saw some run off. One looks like shes perking up but the other its clawing substantially.

Please upload to the forum my computer is unable to go to sites outside the forum. It also makes people more ready to help if they have a visual taste of what's going on! Good luck and enjoy the community!

Thanks man! I appreciate the help.

[furrysparkle]

Indeed thank you

You're a good egg Ozzy.

It definitely looks like overwatering symptoms. When you transplanted, did you pack the soil down? It's the only other thing I can think of at the moment.

[drspacecaptain]

Maybe I didn't pack the soil down firm enough? Would that be detrimental?

[kingfish]

Just pack the dirt ever so lightly. Don't want to pack it so much that you interfere with the runoff.

[Canuck147]

Nugs is right. I don't pack my soil down at all. I have the pots ready with the soil being watered, while seeds are germinating. Gravity and water brings the soil down a bit. Plus the pots are right next to the tent getting acclimatized and drying out a bit. I fluff the soil up a bit, then tap it down lightly before inserting seedling. That way the soil beneath the growing roots will still be damp but not saturated. Incentive for the roots to take action. Then when the little beauties pop out, only water them with an eye dropper. Then they get watered when they need it. And certainly not til I get runoff, only as much as you think it needs for the size it is. And then around the edges of the pot to give the roots more incentive to finish exploring the size of the space they have to grow in.
$.02 Canadian, hehehe. Good luck with your grow DrSpacey, listen to the valuable nuggets of info you are receiving on this forum man, cuz experience knows.

[OzBud]

looks like a watering problem. 1gal each for a plant that size seems a bit excessive me to. plant colour is alright.

[kingfish]

Way too much water. Another method for watering. Stick your finger as far in the dirt that you can. If you feel any dampness on any part of your finger. DON'T water.

[drspacecaptain]

Thought so, thanks for the advice, You think it should perk up anytime soon?

[kingfish]

They will perk up. But it won't be soon. I can't tell what size pots you have. If they are 3 gals. or bigger, it will take a couple of weeks before you see any sizable growth. They have been drowned.

[furrysparkle]

Consider smart pots or other fabric pots they make overwatering practically impossible.

[drspacecaptain]

These are both smart pots 5 gallons.

I've grown accustomed to feed only when really dry. As long as things look good no rush to water. Or droop happens.
