    HELP! 3 week old plant with drooping leaves

    I have a Haze XL autoflower seedling that is not triving - its leaves are drooping and it is not growing very quickly (compared to a GG4 autoflower seedling started at the same time - see attached photos).It has been a slow grower all along, but the drooping started today.

    Growing media: Coco with pearlite, 3-gallon grow bag
    Light: 18/6 LED, ~400 PPFD measured with Photone app with diffuser
    Temperature: 75-80 F with fans for air circulation and plant movement
    Nutrients: FF Trio at half strength, daily with 10-20% runoff; currently on Week 2 of their schedule

    First time growing autoflowers and first time using coco so it is possible that I am doing something wrong, but I did read a lot of the articles here before starting this grow. I am not convinced that I got a good batch of HXL seeds from Seed Supreme, as this was the only one out of four that successfully germinated...

    You might have a seed with weak genetics. I would contact Seed Supreme for replacement seeds from a different lot.

        Watering your plants daily in coco at that growth stage is a lot of water. Are you using the lift and weigh method to determine when to water? It sounds like your plant is getting to much. Your coco should be moist not wet. Let your pot dry out for 2 or three days, then water to runoff.

          I agree with watering issues they both look droopy.
          You could try to pull your light back a bit till they recover. 400 should be oKay if their happy but if their not can make things worse

            Thanks all for the replies! I will go with the consensus opinion that it is overwatering and let things dry out a day or two and see what happens.

            Allotrope1000 I already put a claim in to Seed Supreme and they replaced the three seeds that did not germinate and gave me an additional two for my inconvenience. Unfortunately I did not think to ask for a different lot, so 4 of the seeds are from the same lot as my original ones. :-(

            Smallgrow I will hold off on pulling the light back for now - one change at a time :-)

              Fair, one change at a time is good practice
