Ok all knowing ones, (you know who you are) I need your input one more time. I mentioned that I got my new light HPS 150 watt, I have also put my baby into a grow tent. It is also starting to flower nicely. My problem is that the bottom and interior leaves are getting wilted   Should this be something I need to be worried about? ( I have posted this in the drs diag)
thanks

Your lower leaves seem to be getting no light really. Whats your runoff pH from the soil not your fresh tap water. When did you feed last, have ever flushed your soil. How long has the light been in there and what are the temps.

It started about 2 daysago after I put the new light on it. I had also given it, it's first dose of maxi bloom. Its been about 2 weeks since the last time I gave it a lite dose of fish emulsion. I hadnt planned on thinning it out more but I just took a few more of the overlapping leaves.
The temp is a recent event. It usually doesnt get that cold here.

watered 2 days ago, the same time I gave it the maxi bloom. I was wondering if the wilting is a reaction in the change of nutes.

It could be due to the lights since HPS affects plants much harder when you switch from flouros. Also, flush your soil since you probably have mineral build-ups and get you pH to somewhere in the mid to upper 6s, pot likes it slighty acidic.

Could it be high humidty? That's quite the bush in that tent.
And the wilting near the soil and in the jungle... I could just be baked though.. DO you know your RH?

my quick guess on this would be either heat stress, or too much/little water

Just checked the ph, Its reading in the high 7s. I know thats not good. guess I need to find something to fix it. Is there a household product I can use? or do I have to make a trip to the hydro store? and I will be flushing.

I feel like that backs up my humidity hypothesis some more... Which through transpiration could be the equivalent of overwatering?
Also, I was thinking about it, and even wrote about it, but got too stoned and didn't post it...
But I have that same 6 gal pot and let me tell you... Those things wick a shit ton of moisture. Especially the runoff saucer. Though with cannabis the plant may not be around long enough to cause a problem; these types of containers I consider a nasty contam risk. I've had mold, algae, and pest larvae all happy and healthy as fuck because of these containers.

That is not something I've considered before. Hmmm, something to think about. I use the terra cotta pots for my regular plants, never had any issues before, but then this is the first time in a grow tent. I have been refraining from watering for the last 4 days and its starting to pick up a little so I'm thinking your right about the over watering.
