5 Surprising Signs of Overwatering
🌊🌱🚿😲

One of the most common problems that cannabis growers run into is overwatering their plants. Overwatering doesn’t mean you’re a bad grower. Growers over-water because they love their plants and want to give them everything. Unfortunately, sometimes we give them a little too much of a good
thing. But don’t worry, your overwatering questions get answered today!
Drooping or wilting is the main symptom of overwatering. Plants droop when they have “wet feet” for too long.
Yet overwatering can also cause a variety of other symptoms including yellowing, nutrient deficiencies, leaf spots, brown edges, curling, and more.
The droopiness from overwatering is actually the result of a lack of oxygen at the roots, not from too much water. That’s why hydroponic plants can grow with roots directly in water as long as bubbles are constantly adding oxygen.
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to pump oxygen into a waterlogged grow medium. Without any pockets of air to provide oxygen, roots start “drowning” when the soil or coco is totally drenched. This can result in a surprising number of different symptoms in addition to drooping because it completely disrupts water and nutrient flow through the plant.
Plants that are overwatered appear droopy. Although most plants get a bit droopy during their “night” period, leaves perk up at the beginning of the plant’s “day”. If your plant seems droopy right after lights come on, you know that you have a problem.
Besides droopiness, the symptoms from overwatering are often confused for other problems. This can be frustrating because you may be chasing solutions to other issues when the only answer is simply to water plants less often or less at a time.
This overwatered plant is slightly droopy, but the more visible symptom is the yellowing on top leaves. The symptoms look a bit like bleaching from the grow light being too close or a potassium deficiency. It can be easy to ignore
the drooping and focus on the other symptoms, but in this case, all the symptoms are actually the result of overwatering in a thick grow medium. Watering this plant less often with less water at a time solved the issue. After that, the plant started growing normally.
Overwatering is hands-down the most common reason grower's plants run into problems, even if the symptoms seem unrelated. The following list will help you figure out whether your plant may be affected.
If you see the following warning signs in combination with droopiness, there’s a strong chance you’re dealing with an overwatering problem. If these symptoms always seem to get worse soon after watering, you can feel almost certain that you've discovered the root of your problem...

"Pic at day 16 from seed. Grown from seed under a grow light light 12x12 from veg to flower. 3 x mutations, is the 4th normal?"
~Elina
Here's a fun one! In the picture below, 3 of the plants have mutated and 1 is normal. Which one is the normal one?
A. Top-left
B. Top-right
C. Bottom-left
D. Bottom-right
E. Trick question, they're all mutants!
Take your guess, then check your answer below the picture.
Photo below was color corrected.
The answer is...
.........................
C!
A and B both have fused leaves while D is a tri-leaf. Since C is normal, they aren't all mutants, so no E.
"Incredible Bulk, 5x10 tent, 2x1kw Raptor 8", Phantom Digital Ballast, Hortilux Bulbs, Current Culture 8 site, 8gal."
Holy smokes! ~Sirius
"I have some pictures that I would like to submit as trophy pics. They are veg plants at the moment, but I have high hopes for them. I used a mixture of knowledge from growers I know, but I have been gaining knowledge from this information outlet for years and have put all my knowledge in
this grow. First grow, so there are mistakes, but it's just more knowledge for the next grow!
The strain: Headband Cookies! I topped them and bonsaied them at a young stage. Grown outdoor with 18/6 light sch."
Looks like you've learned well. Good job! ~Sirius

Sirius Fourside:
Sirius Fourside is a hobbyist grower who has gained the bulk of his experience growing in water as a medium (deep water culture, bubbleponics).
"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
