The HOT Texas sun......

[tha_green_ghost]

It's been pretty darn hot here lately and I've noticed that my plant has been a little droopier than normal. I'm used to seeing it with all the leaves perky and happy looking...and these past couple of days they haven't looked do happy.

I have noticed that I have to water it more often, I don't know if it's cuz it's getting bigger or because the sun dries out the soil a bit faster. I did recently LST my plant but I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm just wondering, are droopy leaves a sign if heat stress??? Is this something to worry about? Maybe I should move my (potted) plant to shady area. I don't know but I'd like to see my plant happier than what it looks right now.Thnx!

yeah heat, lack of water will make leaves droop

give more water and give some shade will help a decent amount

it can also be the genetics and not liking so much heat

If I was going to grow outside; in Texas....I would stick with the Afghan strains...Kush.

A strain that can deal with heat/lack of moisture.

I did notice my leaves a little perkier about an hour or so after watering....I usually water once every other day to prevent over-watering, but I think I'm gonna have to water at least once a day due to this this dang heat. It seems to work better for my plant as far as the droopiness goes. Thnx:jointsmile:

All I can say is that in the North Texas area, mine are looking damn good. I'm only growing for mainly the enjoyment of growing and personal use.

here's a pic of my one that is now on it's 5th set of leaves (thoguh in the pic there's only 4) and it sitlll has the alternating 2 leaf pattern. Kinda neat if you ask me. I'm not 100% sure if it is one of the seeds I plaanted but just a fyi it's a northern lights cross i got as a freebie when i ordered some seeds a while back. The cali-o seed showed the typical cannabis leaf shape on it's first set of real leaves, so i'm hoping this northern lights keeps the style it's got as it'd be different.
