Green horn - Strong supporter of cannabis! Hello friends

Hello,
I'm a new time grower here, I was lucky and cracked two seeds out of a very, very, very old storage (found them in my uncle's old trunk) any ways I planted em, and set them up with a 125w light and let them under a 24 hr light for 2 1/2 months. Now I have upgraded to a 400w high pressure sodium light and switched to 12/12 for flower.

Here comes the headache, now my taller plant has started to hang her shade leaves very low, the branches are flimsy and weak. The rest of the plant is healthy and strong, but those shade leaves are suffering. Why? Any one have any ideas? I water once a week, add nutes every other week. And I mist every other day. I have a fan circulating air. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the mag, you should find all the help you need here. post some natural light pics up and some info on your grow, lights soil nutes, temps etc, so we can see what you mean. 1 pic speaks a thousand words. Link in red below on how to.

 

[cannibislover]

Ty for the quick reply! So I'm using Aurora "soul" infinity, grow, & bloom nutes, and a endo & ecto mycorrhiza for the roots. My grow room temps rang between 70°F -85°F never below or above! They crack round the same time and one grew much faster then the other. They are 2 1/2 months old. I have a 125w and a 400w sodium for light. Just took em off 24 hr veg. Going to 12/12. Now the big gal is acting up. And I don't know why, also.. I am completely lost trying to get my picture uploaded.. It said it went through.. Then it didn't.. I will post a soon as I can

Are they clear enough? As u can see the plant is healthy, just not happy

She looks happy to me and big. Those leaves will have some weight in them, especially after a feed. Some days I can open my closet door and find sleeping plants, hours later there back up again, like wise they tend to droop after a feed. My advise would be to keep an eye over a couple of days and see how it pans out.

 

[cannibislover]

Okay, I will give an update in a couple days. I feed them 3 days ago. Maybe that's it. I hope that it at least :/ any other possibilities? Should I prune?

 

[cannibislover]

Also, should I start propping up branches? Or is that extreme?

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

I wouldn't be doing any defoil/pruning for the first 3 weeks of flower. You could get some stakes in ready to hold the weight of massive buds that are coming your way

 

[cannibislover]

Here's hoping it's a she, and not a he! How long into flower will I be able to tell sex?

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Give her a week or so, you should know by then
