DROOPING PLANTS NEED HELP

[coyg74]

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 your runoff is 7.9, that is way more than a little high. I'm surprised you don't have lockout problems but I'm glad you're getting lucky.
I am fighting a similiar issue with crap soil and using un-PHed tap water at 8.4 just a few times. I then PH-ed today's water down to 6.3-4 that was giving me a runoff of 6.7-8. I tested runoff, Ph-ed it down and ran it through again.
Did you add lime?
What is the PH of incoming water?
You may want to consider repotting.

You will not be able to adjust the pH of the soil with water. Re-pot is in order.

Going to cutnpaste from another answer I just posted:

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.

[jimiblings]

Plants will almost always wilt when you transplant them. Give them some time to recooperate.
