  1 out of 4 just isn’t happy

  Posted by Redeye_Jedi on May 13, 2025 at 7:11 pm

  This is my 3rd run. I have been doing Autos up to this point and am trying a mix of Autos and photos this run. Everything is going well, except for I have one plant that just isn’t happy. The other 3 are doing great, but I have one that just is drooping and sad.

  The 2 on the right are in Happy Frog with Grow Dots. The ones in back are Photos ( Blueberry Seedsman genetics) and the ones in front are Autos (Blueberry 420 Fast Buds genetics) . The 2 on the left are planted in Ocean Forest. All have been getting 15oz of water every other day starting on day 11 of Veg. They are now on day 13. Prior to that it was just a spray bottle keeping the soil moist.

  I just don’t know why the one is not as happy as the others. Any thoughts or suggestions?

  Are you just watering them the same every two days like clockwork or are you checking the soil moisture? Over and underwatering look pretty much the same in the early stages and it’s one of the most common points of failure with newer growers. Even experienced growers sometimes need to go back to review basics every once and awhile.

    Are you fertigating or just adding plain water? Are you getting run off?

      The soil is dry to the touch before I water. And at this time I am using de-chlorinated water PH’d to 6.0, and no run off.

        Are the pots light or heavy?

        I’m not in the US so I haven’t ever used Ocean Forest or grow dots. Could they be over fed? Ocean Forest has nutrition in it right?

        Have you got an EC meter? Id run enough water through the soil to get some run off and test the EC.

        Then again, maybe wait for someone with more experience with those products to chime in.

  You’re giving them to much water let the soil dry out a little your girls will let you know when there thirsty you just transplant those you could of cause shock and it will bounce back try rotating your plant every other day what’s your par and light intensity ocean forest and grow dots are fine together but if doing auto’s they don’t like heavy feeding and it could also be bad genetics I would personally use living soil and some recharge it helps balance ph in soil and water also try monosilic acid it’s a game changer

  Thank you everyone. With all things being equal the variable is the watering. I am going to be more conscientious about my watering of that plant. She must just be more fickle than my other 3. I appreciate all the input and will be monitoring her closely. Thanks again.

  Personally I’d say you under watered it, only spraying them to water them, up to day whatever it was, seems a bit extreme and would lead to underwatering in that size ‘pot’..they ous roots down quite far even for inch tall plants ..but who knows lol
