ok ya, they have been like that since yesterday. or this morning...i cant rember..not long

 

[md.apothecary]

to be honest, it looks like they would if they didn't GET any water...

however, its hard to tell, are the leaves turning black? If so, that's a sign of root rot/overwatering

 

[Ekoostik_Hookah]

No, they are kinda darkish green. but it has to be overwatering.
i watered them a few days ago, but kinda alot..
we will see whats up when i wake up later this morning.

 

[Ekoostik_Hookah]

omg, i dont know how, but it was underwatering.
Sure didnt look like overwatering....the leaves were very swollen, and heavy, and thick....like in overwatering.
but i noticed that a bottom leaf was dry and crunchy, so i watered 2 of the plants to see the effects, and it perked back up to normal in about 30mins.
so i watered the rest, they should look good soon too.

Ha.. well thats great you got it figured out man! My last plant would honestly do the same thing every 24 hours if i did not water (minus the spaghetti stem that is odd) So i guess it was a good indicator when it was in need of water but a little scary everytime i opened my closet and I was looking at droopy a plant.. And by the way your room or whatever you built is just awesome! I swear i can't figure out exactly what is going on (I guess with all the secret doors and stuff that was your purpose lol) with it but boy it sure does look like a proper grow room and congrats!

:rofl: hahaha I knew it by looking at the pics, that classic darkening of the droopy leaf was a sure sign.

BTW, there is only ONE real reason a plant will droop like that, lack of fluids whether it be humidity or lack of watering. Somehow the roots are absorbing much more water than you thought needed. This could be related to dust particulate circulating in the air, heat, etc. All of these will absorb moisture in the air. Or the water simply evaporated quicker than it was absorbed by the roots of the plant causing it to go into a draught condition.

[gangalama]

sorry i was responding to the 1st page

Beauty work! I love hiding stuff right in the open. Just make sure the dust doesnt contaminate your plants!!! Hope everything works itself out.

[DLtoker]

Great set of roots there pal!

 

[Ekoostik_Hookah]

ya they are looking good.
The roots could of been alittle more root bound, but owell. guess i dont have to transplant for awhile longer.
i just want these babies to show there darn sex!!!

im hoping for all females.....dont we all.

i guess this 12/12 from seed thing is working out alright, i was kinda worried, but growth hasnt slowed yet....which is cool with me.

[Wise Man]

Nice n healthy root system man

 

[Ekoostik_Hookah]

so my guess of 6-8 plants in my space was way off.
i could fit in 15-16 plants in there. but i would rather do about 11.
