It’s no secret that wilting leaves can be one of the most nerve-wracking sights for a cannabis grower — especially for those growing Doug’s Varin feminized seeds. Wilting leaves often indicate that a plant is in distress and that the crop may be at risk for failure. But never fear; if you catch the symptoms early enough, it may yet be possible to salvage the yield.
When discussing the reasoning behind wilting cannabis leaves, one has to consider both underlying physical and environmental causes. Physically, the most likely cause is insufficient hydration of the plant’s cells. When a plant isn’t receiving enough water, its cells lack the internal pressure required to keep its leaves firm and upright. Environmental causes, on the other hand, mostly boil down to incorrect light, temperature and humidity levels. If environmental conditions are out of balance, then the plants may not be able to absorb enough water to stay hydrated, even with sufficient water being provided.
Fortunately, there are a few very simple steps you can take to save your crop. First and foremost, check the plant’s hydration levels. Using your finger, feel the soil near the base of the plant; if it still feels damp, then the plant isn’t being underwatered. If it feels dry, your plants need more water — as long as the weather isn’t too windy or hot, try lightly watering them twice a day. You should also check the soil’s nutrient levels and consider adding additional nutrients if necessary.
It’s also important to carefully consider your grow environment. If the heat and the light levels in your grow room are too high, then your plants may not be able to absorb enough water. In this case, it’s best to lower the temperature and reduce the amount of light. Also, make sure to keep your grow room’s humidity between 40 and 60%. If your room is too dry, you can use a humidifier to increase the humidity levels.
Lastly, pay attention to changes in the weather outside and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. If it’s particularly hot and windy outside, then you’ll have to water your plants more often to avoid wilting.
By following these few easy steps, you’ll be able to increase the likelihood of success with your Doug’s Varin feminized seeds crop. By keeping your plants well hydrated and monitoring your grow environment, you should be well on the way to a bountiful harvest of beautiful cannabis flowers.
