    My 2 plants this year were started in Happy Frog, the first of the 2 broke out the soil on the 20th of last month.

    Since then, they have shared 1 gallon of distilled water total. Don't know if that will help.

    Posted yesterday in Show your Grow might give you an idea of where you're at. Just using cheapy Home Depot $20 grow lights.

    This is what 1 of them looked like at 10 days. Looks fine to me man.

    Not a nutrient deficiency, she's telling you she's thirsty. With seedlings that small, you usually want to water them a little bit every day to 2 days. Not enough to saturate the entire pot, but enough to reach the roots. What size pots are those in?

    After doing a little searching, it seems like maybe it could be a nutrient deficiency because I am using distilled water? I was under the assumption that the Happy frog soil would be a bit rich for seedlings so I figured distilled water would be best early on to avoid burning them. Would it be a good idea to start watering with Spring water instead?

  • First time growing anything, hoping for some feedback from more experienced growers.

    My setup is as follows:
    • Vivosun 2'x4'x5' growtent
    • Vivosun 4" inline fan system with carbon filter
    • 2 Viparspectra P1000 LED lights 2' above plants
    • 7" 3 speed fan for circulation
    • Vivosun 3gal fabric pots
    • Fox Farm Happy Frog potting soil
    I am growing 3 gorilla glue autos currently. One of them was planted 8 days ago and the other two were planted 7 days ago. The 2 planted 7 days ago appear to be doing very well but the one that was planted 8 days ago is giving me concern. She had been growing well up until yesterday morning when I went to check on them she was drooping slightly and had a very small yellowish area on one of the first serated leaves. It felt a little warm in the grow area maybe 80 degrees F or so and I potentially overwatered her the other day. So I turned the intensity of the light down from 100% to 80% and adjusted the circulation fan a bit and turned it up one speed to help keep it cool in the tent and as for the potential overwatering all I could really do is let the soil dry. After a few hours she had perked back up and seemed healthy but this morning when I came in to check on them she was drooping again. The other 2 plants are doing well so I am concerned that this may be a fungus from overwatering even though the air is quite dry. I don't know if I am just being the equivalent of a stressed out new parent or not but I was really hoping for some feedback from more experienced growers. I attached some pictures of the plant in question and the setup as a whole. I have been watering with distilled water every 2 or 3 days depending on how the soil feels. I stick my index finger in about halfway and if it feels dry I water if it is still damp I wait. Thanks in advance, this poor ailing baby and I really appreciate the help.
