Drooping Problem

[cannawow]

Hello all,
I've been having a big problem with underwatering and overwatering the past couple weeks. Just started flowering, plant is healthy except for drooping leaves. Anyone have any idea what's wrong? I only water probably every 3 days. Thanks

WAY too deel in pot. Cut the rim down to no more than 1" above soil surface.
What does drainage look like? Does the pot have a built in catch tray or does it drain freely?
Is the soil still damp when you water? Is the pot still heavy?
Does the wilt improve after watering or stay the same?
It's either underwatering or root rot.

I can't trim the pot as it's ceramic :/ guess I'll know for next time.
On a lighter note, the plant has been doing very well until now, so the depth hasn't been an issue.
The pot drains and is on top of a catch tray. The soil is never damp when I water, and I water in small amounts and definitely get overwatering (yellowing of leaves, etc) but this time around the leaves are all green, they're just drooping a great deal and only worsen when I give them more water.
They were fine just a day or two ago, I watered them, they began to wilt, so I'm really not sure. Maybe they need some nutes?

Noooo!
Sounds like root rot. Describe the drainage in that pot- is it a single hole?

It might not have been a problem then but I'm incline to think as stinkyattic that it might be rot because now the root system is larger. Canna make a product called cannazym. This will take care of dead roots and stimulate new growth. What is the ph going in and coming out?

[cannawow]

The pot has three holes on the bottom and it's over a plastic tray.

I've been giving it water and it has been responding a little bit. When I put the moisture meter today, i noticed that the first couple inches are damp, but beneath that it is very dry and hard. Maybe the bottom of the roots aren't getting water?

Icabod: The ph going in and out is about 7/8, though I'm not exactly sure because I think my meter may be a bit busted.
Can I buy that product at a nursery? Is there a commonly available non-cannabis alternative or something i can buy?

Thank you both for all of your help.

I've been giving her a lot more water and she's definitely picking up. Guess it was underwatering, which is a relief. Thanks for all of your advice, I really appreciate it and will definitely apply what I learned to my next grow. Peace.
