If the soil is moist/wet about 2-3 inches down, I would say it is over-watered, let it go another day or two, and go light on the next watering.

If it is too dry, would also cause droopiness, in which case you should be generous with a good watering, it will take them approx 8 hours to re-cooperate.

Also could be bad drainage, do you have holes in the bottom of your potting?

Could also be a co2 deficiency, in which case, open a window and let fresh air in.

But the most probable reason they are dropping is because you are root bound, which means you need to transplant to a bigger pot, check and see if the roots are pretty much covering the outside of the pot, if they are, that's your problem. And give them a fresh watering after transplant.


From the looks of it, you need to pick up a hygrometer, probably the most vital thing to have when growing indoors. They sell them at home depot for about $8, go get one.
THContent Reviewed by THContent on . First time grower - Plants drooping. So this plant is about a month old. I have 150w of CFLs and I've been watering every 3-4 days, no nutes yet. This Monday when I watered the plant seemed to get a little droopy within an hour or two, but it had perked back up by the next morning, so I figured it just needed the drink. On Thursday it also seemed to be getting droopy before I watered, however this time it's just gotten worse. So I'm thinking I'm over or under-watering, or possibly a heat issue (I felt the air coming from my Rating: 5
