Hello everyone. This is my first grow, I had never thought that growing weed is this satisfying. I love checking the plant after I come home from work, It's amazing to see it grow. Even if I get one joint from it ,it'll be worth it. I hope of course that I'll get more than one.

So as I said this my first time grow, it's just one plant.
Blueberry haze auto#1, I bought from Sensei seeds.
Because of my location I have very limited resources.

For soil I used coco choir and organic soil.
I potted it in an old plastic 20liter jerrycan, I made plenty of drainage holes. I couldn't find any perlite, vermiculite or peatmoss. I filled the bottom of the jerrycan with cleaned pebble for about 30%. I did this so the soil can breathe.

I have one fan which is pretty powerful.
I try to place the fan so it sucks out the air. Since it's pretty powerful it creates enough wind to blow on the plant as well

For lights I use 2x 20w 6500k led projectors, 1x 30w 4000k led lamp, 2x 25w 2700k led lamps.
20/4 light cycle.

I water once 2/3 days about a liter.

Everything was going great but 2 days ago I noticed bottom one finger leaves were drooping. They didn't look or feel like there was anything wrong with them. I thought maybe they aren't getting enough light so they are trying to get the light from the nylon walls. Today the whole plant looks droopy.

Can anyone give some tips, any tips would be welcome.

The plant is now about 25 days old.

Additional info: 2 days ago one finger leaves at the bottom of the plant started to droop, today all the leaves seem to be dropping.
 
Droopey leaves can be from over wattering but in your case I think it may be a case of too much light coming from the sides of the plants> The leaves are not drooping as much as they are just turned to the source of the light.
 
i think the same the look like there sort of cowering from the light i don't think its overwatering can you raise you lights

I hadn't thought about that. Coincidentally I raised my lights today. I hope it helps.
 
I noticed that the leaves had these light green areas.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Adjust your lights. You need to take them higher to around 80cm from the top. Also change your light schedule to 2 less hours of light, from 20/4 to 18/6. Many strains tend to get "sleepy" at around 16 hours of light, and they really need a period of darkness at 18 hours of light the latest. The green on the leaves is light-stress very common with too strong led lights at this stage. But apart from the obvious light arrangements, do add some cal mag as a precaution.

Thank you for replying.
After my last post I bought a fertilizer made of chicken manure, on the packet it said it had cal+mag. It's for vegetables and in dry form but you can put it in water to feed. So I did. Unfortunately due to my location it was the best I could get.
The lower leaves were getting very yellow and it was progressing upwards. Three days after the feeding I didn't notice any improvement. So I flushed the plant and fed it again, 1/4 of the recommended dosage. The plant has started to grow again and the yellowing seems to have stopped but now it has these brown rusty Spots on the leaves:(.
Tell me what you think.
