Check your soil PH 6.5 and does your soil have added nutes? Are Your pots plastic? Plastic pots can cause root issues (they grow in a circular direction) The pots seem to be wet sitting in the runoff with light droopy leaves. Overwatering Let your plants dry a little before watering again. I would fine tune some grow basics for your plant. This should help. https://www.growweedeasy.com/basics
So my plant seems to be growing great. Today makes 3 weeks since I started to germinate the seed. I have topped it on the main stem and then each of the next ones thinking this should create 4 main stems at 45 degree angles to the original stem. What I am concerned about is the large fan leaves in these photos, they size and rate of the plant seems good, but these leaves are curving down evenly across the entire leaf. I ran through the page on here for plant problems and don't see examples that 100% match this. Win burn looks the closest to me, but they don't get a ton of wind.
A friend of mine looked at the photo and thought either under or over nutrient issue and mentioned to water with use some calmag which I am about to do. I haven't added much nutrients and germinated in coir / vermiculite with a biodegradable 3x4 fabric pouch. Put this straight into the container once I saw roots on the side of coming through the bottom. I thought based on the weight if anything it was a little too wet, but a new pH / moisture meter (I know they aren't great, but I tested this on mixtures I know the pH and moisture and it was right each time) says a bit on the dry side and I will water heavily tonight. Using Happy Frog Foxfarm mixed with a little of the water crystals, vermiculite and extra pearlite. Bamboo Biochar arrived the other day and worked a couple spoons into the top 2 inches (this stuff is awesome, adds such a great texture). I use bottled distilled water and temporarily spring if I need to pick up more distilled. For nutrients I used GH RapidStart @ 1/2 strength about 1/4th of waterings, Zen Products Strength (K2O3Si) 1/2 rec twice, Schultz all purpose 10-15-10 very light a couple times before transplanting and pH is around 6.5

Maybe I'm just missing the obvious, but nothing I see looks quite like this

Try watering your plant with tap water (has trace minerals for medium) and your nutes at full strength Ph'ed to 6.5 in and out. Water/feed to drip out of the bottom not sides. Let it dry to damp only before watering again. Pictures are better if not in grow light. Highly recommend a PH pen, the "investment" is worth your "time" !
Good Luck ! Good Growing !!

Thanks, I also moved the lights up a bit. I did have them a little closer than recommended and added another 2x50w blurple cob. My camera isn't that great, but I have a funny feeling it might be lights and using the heater which blew warm air over them for a while. I think they were too wet and dry at the same time if that makes sense.
I did what you mentioned and will see how they look. I don't think I was watering enough at first and the top 2 inches keeps drying out in less than a day. Now since heavy watering the top is still moist. Also lowered temps down to 72 - 75.
I angled it so all 3 cobs are directly over this small area with the 3 small plants. Need a lux meter to see if it's too much.

Anybody with this symptoms ? Light Dep - 2 week of flowering ; Medium - potting mix 707 reused (peat moss,coco based ) ; GH nutritions ; 5 gallon plastic pots ; Run to waste;
Symptoms : Droppy leaves , twisted new growth , looks like overwater ,slow growth . Just to mention that all the Greenhouse is affected the other GH is doing fine .
1. Overwater , it may be/but nothing crazy i have never water with wet top soil , so not too bad,but yeah maybe slightly overwater, which is easy to cure if u let them dry for few days, it didnt reolve the problem
2. Root Bound - i ripped the grow bag as u can see on the pic there is no horizontal or vertical grow at all !
3.Root issues - roots look fine on the pic
4. Mites - def there is which is normal for outdoor grow, i spray 3 times per week , i have seen really bad infestation with no problem for the plant, there is no webbing .
5. Wind burn - it is windy , but nothing crazy to affect all the plants

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask your help with my ladies
2 autoflowers (sticky beast from zamnesia).
2x 450 led viparspectra.
Lightmix from plagron 11liter pot.
1 month old and started feeding 1/4 of the recommended dose so 1.25ml in 1liter and ph 6-6.5, on week 3.
I thought they started burning after the first time, so I gave them plain water the next 2 times of watering, ph 6 because soil was ph7 and more to flush a little. Now it looks like they had too much water and the problem only keeps getting worse.
One is not growing as fast as the other one.
It's also the same problem I had last time, only with different strains. This strains didn't suffer anything from my mistakes then.. (to much nutrients and not watering till runoff) didn't make the same mistake again.
Maybe root problems? potassium deficiency?
I really don't know anymore .
Thanks in advance!

Radja I think you figured it out with the over water and nutes. You flushed now perhaps a drying period. Lots of good info on this site and helpful more experienced growers than me that can perhaps share their ideas. Autos are more sensitive than reg. plants and that strain could be telling you that by how it reacts.

Thanks for your reply. I'm digging true the site over and over again, but I can't seem to figure it out
because the problem keeps spreading on the fan leaves even after flushing . So maybe not enough nutes, but that doesn't make sense since the problem started after feeding:hard-laugh:
wonderful but complex Ladies

Hi Radja, The plants look pretty good in your pictures, but if the problem is continuing, could you please post some new pictures?
Looking at the first picture, it occurs to me that maybe your roots are root-bound; the big girl might need a bigger pot.
I've grown 2 of the same strain before and had one seed produce a huge plant and the other seed a runt; it happens, like the differences between 2 siblings.

Hi alltatup, thank you!
these pictures are taken when the lights just turned off (20/4). It's only the fan leaves that start with the claw tip, then it burns like nutrient burn and keeps kreeping inwards. I feeded them yesterday because it was getting worse . 5ml at 10liter (1/10 from the recommended dose,ph 6.3. Runoff the same) to see how they do.
And indeed like different siblings the smallest plant was also the smallest seed:laugh: And I really hope they're not root bound because I'm a terrible transplanter:doubtful:

Radja, read this: https://www.growweedeasy.com/rootbound-cannabis-symptoms
Learn how to be a better transplanter, because you don't want all your work going to waste and you want your plants to thrive and grow huge!! Just be gentle and loosen the plants in the present pots; if they are pretty root bound, they should come out easier.
And you might want to put your plants in better and larger pots from the start, pots that are ideal for growing Cannabis (I'm a hydroponic grower): https://www.growweedeasy.com/choose-right-pot

HELP stunted growth yellow curly leaves sickly plants! Pics included
Hi and thanks for reading! I've been a lurker for some time and haave learned a lot over time, but am now having a problem with the last few grows all going the same way. this is waht happens:
sprout seed, put it in one of those little brown pucks you soak in water and it expands, i think it's peat? 5 gallon pots, plenty of drainage, all seeds are female auto's from a reputable company and I buy from different procducers also.
it grows great, then they all end up like this:
stunted growth messed up leaves, barely any buds, very sick looking, they ALL do this. Prior to the last few grows I had beautiful halthy plants and buds, no prolbems at all. My room is 4x8x8 I had 6 125 dual spectrum CFL's a carbon scrubber with a 4" inline fan with 280CFM drawing air outside and an oscillating fan. Thermostat in house is 73, so room is a little warmer maybe 5 degrees? not postive but it's not burning hot I don't think. I only use Roots Organic green camo bag soil, and was using clean filtered pond water, but then switched to tap water that I let "breathe in open containers, the tap water pH is 7.4. I use a soil tester to test moisture and pH also.
I recently switched to LED's over the top, 2 450 watts units (VIPARSPECTRA) side lights are still CFL's 125 watts and are about 18" away from plants, the top LED's are about 22-24" away from plants. Again, I was getting great results earlier,,,, nothing has really changed that's why I'm here
too much nutes? too hot? too much water? lights too close?
I'll be switching over to all LED's soon.
Thanks for any and all input, I'm anxious to see what you pros have to say!

Welcome to GWE z13 ! A couple questions if I may. 1) were the plants condition ok PRIOR to the addition of the led lights ? 2) The soil tester is it a two probe for light, moisture and ph ? 3) do you feed your plants and 4) do you ph test AFTER adding anything to your water/feed as well as runoff to 6.5 ?
Thanks for the quick reply! alltatup, I changed the water source b/c I thought that might have been too nutrient dense, I also DO NOT use any outside or extra nutes at all, just the Roots Organic camo bag. I'll have to check the pH of the runoff today. pH of the soil in general is right at 7 and stays steady. Colombo thanks for the warm welcome! answers to your queestions:
1. the LED's made no difference, the plants started doing this before I swapped the lights, i just got tired of the cfl bulbs crapping out so fast.
2. The tester is a double prong for all 3 yes, moisture, pH and light.
3. They get no feed/nutes at all other than the Roots Organic soil in the camo bag, and I don't add anything at all to the water. Just plain tap water left out to breathe and the soil.
lights are on dual/full spectrum like they have been since I started, on a time of 20 on and 4 off which again, in the beginning 4-5 grows worked perfectly.
I will test the runoff and see what i get in both those pots and report back asap. Thanks so much!!!
