Frank Reynolds Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I'd be most concerned with the drooping, is the medium saturated? How close is that light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help121 Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Lights about 40cm was at 65cm i bought it down abit in hopes itd help with the slow growth but obviously it didnt medium was last watered 5-6 days ago as I thought maybe the dropping was signalling that it was thirsty and that's why it was dropping however it didnt really help it at all i gave it about 1 litre water 5-6 days ago its not saturated per say there's still.water but the sides when u stick your finger in is dry up to about the second knuckle but its still apparently wet around the stem of the plant I was going to put it in the sun tomorrow to try and see if that helps it absorb any excess water but yeah Edited August 25, 2020 by help121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzo Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Whatever you did about 1 week ago was horribly wrong...Just how much DE did you use and when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Reynolds Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hmm, i have no experience with canna terra but I believe it is peat based so it might need a bit more water, if you let it dry completely out might be hard to re wet as well. When you lift the plant up does the pot physically feel light? What kind of LED are you using 200w at 45- 60cm shouldn't cause drooping at that stage.

Frank Reynolds Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I would give it a good drink, with some nutes ph'd properly personally if these were my plants. Take note see if the water seems to drain away quickly and the pot doesnt get heavier as your medium may be hydrophobic. If thats the case you will wanna sit the pot in a saucer of water allow it to soak it up slowly. Once you do get the media saturated with water fully and allow excess to drain take a note of the weight. It will allow you to guage how much water plants are going through, and once they feel a bit lighter you feed em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Reynolds Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Did you feel the weight of the pot? did it increase in weight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
