thanks for the quick response Ugwad!
we are going to be picking up some mylar within the next few days for the walls.
and since there is not enough space to bring all 18 plants to the flower, we put the lights on 12/12 starting last night. i'm hoping they will start to show sex soon. Once they do we will bring the lights back to 18/6 on the best looking 4 females
What's good guys?
so out of the 18 plants 7 were females
Last Friday we transplanted our best 4 females into 5 gallon buckets with happy frog farm fox soil with perlite. In the upper part of the closet we have three "clone" plants in a plastic flower bucket that are tied down to avoid touching the light above.
Currently there are 14 26 watt daytime CFL's and 2 42 watt Softwhite CFL's, totaling 448 watts of actual CFL light. The lights are on a 18/6 schedule.
Today the plants looked a bit droopy? Not sure why?
The PH has been reading low around 4 but we just added some crushed lime to the soil to fix that.
The heat is also stable at 71 to 75 F.
What could be causing the plants to droop?
the ph has been around 4 for about 4 or 5 days. but its beginning to come back up. as far as the watering goes we give them about a gallon of water between the 4 buckets every day. beneath each bucket is a 16fl oz (2 cup) bowl that catches the runoff water. every time we water each bowl usually fills up. so i feel like they are getting enough water. maybe too much? we will try spacing the watering out more
I think your roots will get more oxygen if you wait 2-3 days in between waterings. When I first transplanted I watered less than 1/2 gallon per 5 gal bucket/plant every three days. Now after 30 days of veg I was up to 1.25gal per plant every three days. This will allow the soil to thoroughly dry between watering.
Note too much water can cause droopy plants as well.
