Og kush auto I started from seed. First broke the ground on April 10th was going fine up to the last day or little more I’ve noticed it been quite droopy not as perky as usual. I’m a new grower so I’m learning. The soil was very dry even at the bottom. I’ve fed plain ph’ed water at 6.2-6.3 the last 2 waterings. My runoff ph was 6.2 which I thought is ok. Tonight I fed it hollan secret micro at 5ml per gallon and holland secret grow at 5ml per gallon and some cal mag. That’s the recommendation at early veg stage, 10-15ml of each per gallon at mid to late veg. the color looks good but the new growth also looks weird but maybe not. Ive noticed shortly before this happened I was seeing pre flowers. 3x3x72 tent 6”exhaust fan with carbon filter, 6” intake fan with filter. 6” mini clip on fan blowing air around tent. Temps 75-80 lights on 68-72 lights off. I always water when my pots are light and I use the soil moisture meter just to see what’s at root level. The picture with the grow light on was about 2 hours after I watered it the other ones about 5 hours after. I’m on 18-6 light schedule. Let me know what you think or if I’m just paranoid. Oh and it wasn’t droopy 3 days ago so it went droopy from the time I watered it to tonight and the soil went dry.

I think you said it, the plant got too dry. The soil/coco/peat may have become hydrophobic so add a surfactant to your fertigation. The leaf narrowing is a response from the plant to conserve water. Under drought conditions the next step the plant would suck what it could from the big fan leaves and drop them in an effort to give all she has to produce seed. It is hard to say how she will respond. Some plants take-a-likin and keep on growing, others? You might want to add some B-vitamins, Mykos etc. and a root stimulant if you have any.

I just fed it 1/4 nute solution at 6.2 ph I watered until runoff and tested the ph at 6.2. I will see how that goes all my leaves are still a nice green but the not perking up the best when lights on and the new growth has me worried

It is just a wait and see now. Get back to the regular nutrient schedule right away.
 
Sorry about the lighting didnt want to disturb it that much, it’s a Little over 24 hours looks a lot better! Hopefully another day it will be on the mend. Do you recommend cutting off some of the fan leaves little by little that are covering bud sites. Or leave them where it’s auto too much stress on the plant?
