Is this normal?

The other day I noticed my plants were drooping a little bit and the bottom leaves are yellow. Can anyone give me some advice?

Well I cant tell a God damn thing from pictures because I'm not there but it looks like your leaves are healthy (except those bottom ones) and if they are healthy looking but drooping maybe your overwatering it? Because your soil does look wet so thats what I'm suggesting. Do you have any drainage for yout pots?

I forgot to mention, these are 3 weeks into flowering.

I only water them about once every 5-6 days, there is drainage too.

water them more often....

I water soil plants once every other day in flowering.

What if your moisture level in the soil is good would you still water it. I find that I only have to water mine about every 4 days.

I have a moisture meter and I am only watering it when is gets between 1 and 2 on a scale of 4. Should I be watering more as well? I have a slight droop, nothing this major, on the 4-5 day.

As they grow their nutrient requirements as well as the frequency changes. You need to keep up with the life cycle of the plant as best as you can.

The deeper you go into flower the more nutrients your plant will need and use. It does look a little week on the N what nutrients are you feeding them?

If you have proper drainage you should be watering every 3-day's. If you can go 4 or 5 then you don't have enough drainage in your soil or enough drain holes for it to leach out.

Thanks Zandor!

I actually added more holes after purchasing the pots as I wanted a little more air for the bottom of the soil. I am using a compost/manure/potting soil mixture. I also have a nifty cover for the top of the soil (see other postings) that really have eliminated most of the evaporation. I also have a layer of Peat Moss under my nifty cover to even further reduce evaporation.

Is this wrong?
