I have been trying to just read all the post n such on the web, but it looks like i have to ask for some direct HELP.
Have some plants indoor in soil they are about 5-6 weeks old. Messed up and put them in outdoor potting soil and added some vermiculite. (not able to get ocean forest soil in my area) plus it cost too much to ship a couple bags here. Recently bought Fox Farms Trio Ferts for some type of nutes. Just really started feeding them yesterday. Tried to hold of on watering because i thought i was overwatering and the plant is still drooping. watering about once every three to four days.(Growing well but drooping). the soil ph is a little high. I tried to flush the soil.(ph of runoff is 7.9- ph of water with fox farm 1/4 strength is 6.7 any suggestion or advice would really help. if need any info i failed to mention ask please?

What can i do to get my plant back from not drooping?

If you are east of the Mississippi find an agway. Get yourself a few bags of manure humus. Get a bag of perlite also at agway. Mix 2 parts to 1 part of the humus to perlite. Re-pot in this mix. Problem solved. If no agway you can get manure humus at home depot but I do not vouch for it's quality. This is a cheap and good quality soil for growing.

Dude jus don't water as often give your plants a break. I ususally only water every 7 to 10 days depending on humidity levels. Keep a fan blowing and a make sure your plants and soil are getting the right amount of air flow I have 2 plants in my closet and I rotate them every couple days to make sure the soil dries properly(closer to the fan) and alsoadd enough perilite to your soil. Don't hv experinece with vermic perilite works great for me. But def wait longer to water if your plants are drooping. Be patient even if the soil seems dry as hell. Less is more! because you can drown them!
