    Default What's causing my plant to droop

    3rd day running my plant has been like this now, could water Ph cause this ? As I'm unable to test my Ph at the moment, temps sit around 25 RH is around 65ish, not sure what's causing it.

    I wouldn't be too concerned at this stage LM, other than the drooping the plant looks ok. No discolouration in the leaves, even the cotyledons haven’t yellowed yet. I think once they go under your 400w they’ll fly. I wouldn’t use it yet though, your other seedlings are still a bit small, but personally I’d have them all under the 400 in about a week from now. Just remember to start the lamp high, and gradually lower it daily. You don’t want to burn your babies but you do want the lamp close as possible, but without causing them any heat stress or burning.

    She lookes fine. Can be the light can be the soil and so on. Let her ride.

    Do you have a small fan blowing some air at her?

    You can drop the RH to little under 50 now that she is in veg state and not seedling anymore.

    Is that darker soil wet? How much and how often have you watered it? Little fella looks fine apart from the clawing down so I'd imagine overwatering

    I did have a 5" intake m blowing fresh air in, bit temps dropped regular so took the fan away and just have an opening to let the exhaust create a flow.
    I still have 2 plants that are only 6/7 days old though would dropping the RH effect them ?

    Ah you have more then 1 plant. Yes that will effect them. Have to wait a week ish then. And slowly go down to 50 ¨

    And MrC might be on to something. Is that soil very wet and compact?

    Yes, do you water every day?

    At the stage you are at you should not water more then every 3-4 day. Should not be needed. In cococoir you need to water everyday but soil keeps the water for days.

    I would lift the pot up every day and feel if there is any diffrenct. After many days the pot should feel lighter and its time to water.
    After you have watered lift up the pot again and feel how heavy it is and again the next day. After doing this many times you will be feel learn when to water

    When growing in Coco, plants can droop if they're not getting enough nitrogen. That can mean either you're not feeding enough each time you water or you're simply not watering enough. When I say water and cocoa it should always have food.

    Occasionally, you'll come across a plant like an auto that won't like 24 hours of light. They will just suddenly droop for a few hours every day at the same time. That just means you could shut your lights off for a few hours around then if you wanted to.
