    Drooping leaves

    Hello,

    This is my third grow and normally I get through it just fine. This year I am having an issue with my whole plant drooping. I thought it was over watering because of how the leaves didn't feel papery and the whole leaf was drooping and not curling up. Here are my notes thus far.

    1. I am growing in Coco coir with perlite mixed in which is my typical setup.

    2. I water twice a day at 7AM and 7PM

    3. I have been feeding my plant 10g Flora Flex B1 and 10g Flora Flex B2 per 5 gal of water (not all 5gal at once) I can't be around all the time so this allows me to leave my plant for a few days. Every thing runs off a smart outlet so I can control all my environmentals remotely. I setup the watering so that at least 1/3 of the water comes through the growing media.

    4. PH going in is around 5.6-5.7 and maybe a little higher coming out

    5. EC = 1.6ish

    The plant has been doing great up until a few days ago when I noticed it was wilting and some of the smaller leaves towards the bottom were yellowing. This is new growth towards the bottom that I missed when lolipoping.

    I first thought the issue was over watering so I stopped the water cycle for 24hrs and the problem got worse. I then mixed up a new batch of neutes and made sure the PH and EC were in range.

    Any help would be appreciated. Ill answer any questions I can.

    Thanks

        The symptoms and photos lead me to think of 2 possible issues. Droopy clawing leaves often are the result of too much nitrogen or the heat wave that has gripped much of the country recently can also have that affect. If it hasn't been overly hot then consider pulling back on nutrients, flush, and water feed only for a few days. Plants die slowly from not enough nutrients but can die in a day from too many.

          Thanks everyone for the responses. The weather has been pretty cool lately in the north east. I have them in the garage and my lights go on at night when temps are cooler. I think the tent was in the mid 70s last night. Ill try the flush with PHed water and see if that perks the little lady up a bit. I was thinking over water based on what it looks like but its in Coco so over water seems like it would be hard to do. This is my third grow and nothing with the watering set-up has changed. Ill study up on my neuts to see what I am pumping in for Nitrogen.

          Ill post some update photos after.

          Thanks,
