plants have been doing well up till the other day,started drooping thought i had under watered so watered at one litre per plant then each morning after the lights have gone out the plant looks all droopy,leaving the fans on 24/7 and this seems to help but in the morning after the lights are out the same thing, i think either over watering or heat stress any opinions
cheers

Did you transplant them recently, like the last couple days?

They do look underwatered, but you said you did that.

i know they look under watered but the pot is still heavy
i thought they were under watered so watered them at there normal
amount and when the lights go out they look under watered, i leave the fan on all day and they look fine , it doing my head in lol
i wont water for a couple of days and i'll post after that if theres been no change

How often and with how much H2o were you watering? In my experience over/underwatering can both look similar. If they are underwatered they usually rebound within an hour or 2 of watering, but if they are overwatered it will take days to dry out the medium so the recovery would be slower.

If you have watered since they have been drooping and you haven't seen a change, you should let it dry out completely before rewatering.

Sometimes the easiest shit can be made the most difficult.

The big pain in the ass is no one can tell you how much/often to water yours because every environmental factor combined with genetics creates a different set of needs.

Best of luck dialing yours in, my rule of thumb is if it ain't dry, don't apply. Get to know your pot weight, wet/dry, use a scale if you need to.

I suggest they look a bit over-watered (both 'under', and 'over', cause drooping) ... when topsoil looks dry again, take a pencil, stick it up through a drain hole (before watering) ... see if any water drains out ... I had a plant give me fits once :( ... it turned out, the soil compacted at the drainholes, and water collected, at the very bottom of the pot ... top looked dry, bottom was wet = over-watering, and didn't know it :wtf: ... it's a 'possibility' easy to check out ... good luck :thumbsup:

I think over watering was the cause,checked them today and although they were not 100% they were better than the last 2 days,
got a pencil and poked it up all the drain holes so hopefully this helps
thanks for the reply s

Sounds and looks fine to me. Vegging plants do that at night. As long as they stand up when the light comes on you're doing fine. Flowering plants will also do that the first couple weeks in 12/12. There is only one way to water plants -- WHEN THEY ARE THIRSTY--. There is only one way to tell: When the pot loses 50% or more of it's weight. Never feed or water a heavy pot. They need to dry out between waterings so they can obtain enough oxygen for the roots.
