She started drooping 3 days ago and then I remembered she has a smaller pot than my fruit auto so I might overwater her. I let her dry out a bit and didn't water yesterday and today,she is still drooping and more yellow leaves! The pot was quite dry so I gave her 500ml water+nutes.I am very worried now.

Problems: Started drooping 3 days ago and yellow leaves. Hand feed everyday with 500ml-1L everyday. Since I forgot the pot of the Bubba is smaller and I still feed 1L in the last week, so thought it could be overwater. But the bottom of the pot is dry, no run off, double check and recalibrate the pH meter etc. pH is 5.8.I water when the pot is light and put my finger in to the coco to feel how dry/moist it is.

-10L fabric pot
- Gold Label Hydro CoCo 60/40 Mix
- 50 x 50 x 100 grow tent (space restriction unfortunately)
- Hipargero 450w COB Led Light
- a mini air-con
- a monkey fan
- Rhino Hobby Carbon Filter + 4'' extraction fan
- Canna A+B, Cannazym,Canna Rhizotonic,Canna PK13/14,Canna Boost,CalMag (4.2% N, 4.7% CaO, 1.7% MgO)

20/4 light. Temperature high 23C-26C,RH is 45. pH 5.8 - 6

Thanks everyone in advance.

Your in coco yes? If so overwatering is difficult. It looks like a pH issue to me, you state 5.8 to 6, is that your feed pH? Or in pot medium pH?

If she was in my tent, slurry test for pH and ppm.
 
Looks dry to me.Is the pot real heavy?Some lower leaves may turn yellow but this happens sometimes to older leaves.

Thanks for the reply. The pot is not real heavy so I don't think she is overwatered.

Thanks for the reply.Yes, she is in coco. It is the feed ph 5.8 -6. I normally hand feed so I don't do run off.
 
I will water her with run off and test with the pH and ppm. I am still very worried!

You need to be running thru to runoff. About 10% always...and drain

You need to slurry test the coco, run off # will not be of help here.
Am betting you have a pH slide due to salt build up in the root zone.

Thanks again for the input.
Too late, just done the run off. Put 2.2L pH 5.8 water with 400ppm in and got 300ml run off with pH 7 and 620ppm.

What can I do to help her?

Hard to say, as you've measured what's not in the pot, but... the ppm is a little low, and 5.8 in and 7 out... sounds like it is somewhere higher than 7. I'd still like a pH test of the medium, to know exactly what we're dealing with.... @Waira any thoughts?

I will get it tested and report the result asap. Thanks again!
 
The slurry test is pH 6.8. She looks slightly better today, less drooping but the yellow leaves still quite bad.
