Are you letting your soil dry between waterings, and do you have drainage? Welcome.

Yes very good drainage and it’s not a perfect science but I weigh plant when dry and after a feeding so I can tell if it’s super dry and I feel the soil.... do u think it’s over feeding? I have two other plants on same routine and they r fine although I saw some signs on bubble gum plant on 1 leaf

It could be. Have a TDS meter?

Yes I have a TDS meter, I re potted her and it seems to have perked her up. Maybe I just got a bit over zealous and didn’t let it dry out enough
It would help if we knew a few thing's more, RH? Lights? Temps? Water/feed schedule,fans? All play a factor in why your plant responded that way.
I would guess yes, to much love.... easy on the amount of watering. Stick you finger in the soil, if it's damp or cool (moisture) if you sense that wait one more day. Mark it on a calendar when you feed/water or better yet start a journal here and we can follow you and give advise if we see anything or if you need more guidance. It is the best way to get help if your new at it. Watch you plants too, they will tell you when to water (slight softening of leaves). She appreciated the drier soil.Read read read others journals/threads and learn, find a fit that works for you as a gardener.
It helps. Easy to say lighten the water, but without more info we can only guess. Does that make sense? There are no stupid questions fyi

How can I tell whether my drooping plant is overwatered or underwatered?
Leaves that are drooping from underwatering will look limp and lifeless. Leaves that are drooping from overwatering will be firm and curled down, even from the stem of the leaf.

OMG... thank you so much for that info and I will get on providing more info. I read so much that sometimes u think it’s something but it’s not
Temps are great at in between 75-80 degrees
RH is 40%
ocean floor soil fox farms nutes but I only use 1/2 strength every third feeding. All my plants are auto flower! I just put some grape ape into jars to cure so fingers crossed

Are you using the directions on the back of the bottles, or the actually schedule (Booklet) they have for the trio?
Ive always heard to start off quarter strength with FF.

I have the feeding schedule from FF that I just cut in half. So I was told that autos don’t really need nutes so I was feeding nutes every feeding then got hit with a little N toxicity issue that almost cost me a lady. So I’m on my 2nd go round and half strength.
I APPRECIATE Y’ALL GETTING BACK!!!!!!

Did you use nutes right away? Fox Farms soil already has nutes in it so you only water for the 1st 2 - 3 weeks. If you fed you may have caused a Toxicity depending on the strength. I'd pH a gallon to 6.4 & run it through the plant & get a run off pH. If it's over 6.8 or under 6.0 I'd flush & get the pH right & the salts washed out.

I did not feed nutes right away but you bring up an interesting point. I thought optimally feeding ph should be 5.9. Soil I mix 3 parts FF TO 1 part sphagnum peat moss

Peat moss is pretty acidic. I grow in peat/perlite, but it's adjusted with lime and buffered with gypsum. You may try running your nutes a little higher pH.

By higher you mean 6.5? I read so much and everyone has a different opinion, especially when it comes to autos
Here’s a different question so I just dried some grape ape and put it into jars I waited till trivhomes about 30% amber. Dried whole plant about 7 days, trimmed and jarred. I open 2-3 times a day to burp, and I should keep jarred for bout 6 mos?

You need to be at 6.2/3 for optimal input with FF. Don’t flush your soil. Use quarter strength for now and alternate water, then feed, water, then feed. Always water to runoff, and let the soil dry up between your feed.
@Emilya is very familiar with FF. Let’s pull her in as backup.

I'd try 6.5 and see what happens. It's hard to say because of the peat. I'd use Ca/Mg too. Get some 62% Boveda for your jars. I can't wait 6 mos.

It's not FF, it's FF with an additional acid component, peat. He's gonna have to experiment.

You need to get bovida 62s. Burp the jars twice a day for two weeks, the once for a week or two (depends on the RH), then you’re pretty much good. I let it go another week. Get some little temp gauges off Amazon. Be sure to store in the dark.

I use peat in my soil, but yes, 6.5 is a good safe zone. If you start seeing manganese or iron deficiencies, then I’d drop to 6.2.

6.2 is Best with FfOF... That soil has a strong upward drift, and by consistently coming in at 6.5 or higher, you run a big risk of heavy metal deficiency
