Silica is a nutrient that strengthens the stems & helps transport other nutrients. I'm sure it does more. But I use it for stem strength to hold large buds.
Droopy leaves with pics: any ideas?

The Proper Way To Water A Potted Plant
The Proper Way to Water a Potted Plant Also covered: the importance of pH and why we successively up-pot How to Water Over the last several years I have put a lot of study into this, and I feel that I can now define the proper way to water a potted plant. Keep in mind that this discussion...

Emilya is great. She was my 1st tutor 5 years ago this April. She is surely one of the best on this site.
I think her knowledge has helped most of us out at some point.
Between Emilya, In The Shed, Mr. Sauga & Bill284 helping anyone with their grows they should have success. Those are the main people I turn to if I run into an issue.

Well if you dont want to hav a break then i do highly recommend liquid silicon
Gave as a foliar feed when seedlings n then with every feed till pretty much till harvest
Strengthens the plant to better handle higher temps
As said i was getting over 40 degrees in my tent some days but sill got over 6oz off 75 cm X 75 cm scrog
Altho saying that a break is good now n again...
Growing is quite stressful sometimes!!

might try 6.3 for a week or 2 n see what happens!
Yeah it does help a lot. Just more stressful managing them in that heat and last time it pretty much ruined a plant that was at the end. Plus it means I'll have nothing going when the letting agent does the 6 month inspection. Lol.
If you pH higher you skip the plant taking up the nutes at the lower end of the pH scale. Try it... You'll like it.... lol.

i hav no prob whatsoeva trying others suggestions! Thank u!
My current auto White Widow went droopy like yours a week or so ago. Didn't think I'd over watered but after letting the pot fully dry up and then a feed she bounced back again. Think I watered her a day or two before really needed and she didn't like it.
What kind of soil are you using if dont mind me asking? It looks like promix to me but my eyes aren't that good anymore..

Hi GainesvilleGreen!
thanks for your reply!
The soil is gold label special mix
Its all ive eva used but grow shop recommends it!
Yeah that's a ballache. I'm hoping to get some space cleared in the garage for my bigger tent to do a run after the hot period. Have been toying with the idea of building a small room in there disguised as a little workshop.
It does work. It's the method I use too. But occasionally not all the plants are ready at the same time, but I'll water them all anyway like a dingbat
