just been in grow....plant leaves look a little light green and are drooping a bit...is this any thing to worry about??...when i took hold of the cuts they were dark green...there under the 400w hps...tops of plants 38" away.....dont want to take chances,them 400w can burn.....dont think its that though....feeding ionics....into 60l res at the rate of 2ml(just over quart strength) per liter....8ml ph down....brings down to 6.2ph....topping with just plain ph water....is the lightness in the leaves a problem????.....they all look alright....but id rather know whats happening early.....regulating feeds to every 4 hrs@15mins.....am i overwatering?
.................please help,this is me first grow.....dont want to balls it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyway you can post up a piccy for us all to have a buchers at m8?

A bit more info wouldn't go a miss neither i.e. how long have they rooted thrugh the cubes/how old are they?

It does sound like they may be a little hungry.

sorry bro,no photos.......but they have been in clone for 2 weeks.....1 week in veg room....i week grow room....in 1" plugs....when they rooted from bottom.....went staight to big light...flood/drain 100% clay pebbs....with 1" plug set into the 6.5l pot(few pebbs round top of rockwool)sheeted,so i dont kill the roots.......flood feeder positioned just to the side of plug.....just over quart strength i thought, was well enough nutes at that age....its nothing bad i dont think....but the leaves just droop a bit......its weird

the wilting of the leaves could be either over watering or under watering

Try upping your feed time to once every 2 hours, keeep a close eye on em and see how they react to that. if they get worse back the regime off till you find the point at which they like it.

The yellowing could quite easily be under feeding, mebbe due to not gettin the feeding it requires. it's all trial and error m8

just checked em.....rockwool plug is quite wet....put the feeds back to every 5 hrs.....c how that goes......if i see em wilt further i will bring feeds closer together....im not using an ec.....i know im probably gonna regret but as long as i dont mix me nute strengths to high and i keep topping with ph water....i should b ok.....flushing res every 2 wks with 1 day flush of ph water before next nute feed....my temps are 28-30 peak days.....19-21 peak nights.......res temp 22-24.6 peak all day......loads of extraction....td 160/cf160...9" fan circulating.....2 computers fans....1 drawing straight from outside........the enviroment at the mo is optimum...me humidity..42-50......so to me,its gotta b the feed times and how many im doing......its crazy this growing game.....and hers me thinking i was knowing what i was doing.

Hi hb -


&
It's not your light !

I'm guessing your not talking about new growth being a "pail green" colour than the rest old growth of the plant.

New growth will be pail green - but this dose not explain the 'drooping'

So is the whole plant affected (pail green & drooping) or just top 'new growth'.[/I]
If it is 'new growth' all is well - don't panic

I have a feeling you know this much about what new growth looks like on a plant.

If your not talking about the new growth then the feed schedual may be the problem and I would look at the nute levels as a possibility as well as the over/under watering. If you do not add nute in the 2 weeks they could be hungry ie = nutes too low

WATER/FEED SCHEDUAL;




..

Other than feed times by adding only PH water your not keeping up your nute strenth up (No EC meter oooooooo dear me). The plant will need feed before 2 weeks I would think. You don't say you add nutes before your 2 weekly change. Is that right ?

I'll check back later on dude !
