whats up with my plant? help please!

[The Shape]

I'm using FFOF, pbp and glacier water which I believe is RO. I ph my water after adding nutes. but i don't have a digital ph pen to test soil (can't afford it). also it has a hole on 1 leaf and some small spots starting to form on some lower leaves. Last time I checked the run off was 3 days ago when i fed it and it was above 6 (or it appeared that way anyway). The plant was fine all the way thru veg and for the first 3 days on 12/12. But today when i woke up it looked droopy and like this..

overwatering or heat are usually the culprits of droopy leaves.

thanks for the input. i guess it's overwatering cause the heat never gets above 82. which is weird cause i only water when the moisture meter starts showing dry. what about the holes n spots? it's the only plant i have and i'd like to keep it alive until i know if it's a boy or girl. any help is appreciated. thx

Are the roots emerging from the bottom of the planter. I left out that drooping leaves can be caused by being root bound as well..

General rule I go by is for every foot above soil you should have a gallon for roots.

it's in a 6 inch pot. looking at the bottom i see some roots starting to poke out of the drain holes. time to transplant?

It's probably time to transplant them...if you wait much longer, it'll stunt the flowering.

Ditch that moisture meter...I've never seen one work - I mean NEVER!. You can generally tell when to water just by lifting the pot. It'll be much lighter when it's time to water. If you fill a pot with fresh dry soil and compare it to a freshly watered plant you'll see what I mean.

If the vending machine for the water doesn't state "Reverse Osmosis" on the list of filters, you can bet it's not since that's a big selling point to alot of people.

thx for the reply sandman. will do! first thing in the morning i'll transplant to a 10inch. hopefully it recovers

You should at least double the volume of container when transplanting. I like to triple...but that's just my preference and style.

Root bound for sure.

you said it happened 3 days into after switching from 12/12 which means you also switched nutes to grow nutes 3 days ago so if your leaves are getting crispy and have brown marks watch out it might be a nute burn, but a bigger pot would probably help 4 sure regardless. But if you have no brown "burn spots" and leaves are not crispy then this is not it and the above suggestions should work.

you said it! today when i woke up i noticed the leaves on the bottom are feeling crispy and the spots look like they're getting worse. i'm going to transplant right now into a 10inch (the biggest size i have ATM). and i'm guessing no nutes just straight water for the next couple of feedings? hopefully she recovers (wishful thinking) thanks again guys
