Ok so I know they aren't under watered or over....I did transplant really low into the pot...3 days after we got 2 cold nights about 45deg with high winds. Days we're around 65-70 deg. Some of them look heat stressed the leaves are folding up a little but not bad....but in all they are just droopy...any ideas?
And too add when I took these pics the sun was going down so they look a lot worse but still they shouldn't be drooping at all. Untill the sun starts too go down.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

they look good for newly transplanted. use mycorhizae to limit the shock and they will perk up faster. looks like you top watered shallow if so give them a good water deeper. i also use peroxide to perk plants up. good luck bro

Give them a couple days. Plus pots outside tend to get hot or cold depending on weather, small plastic black pots get it the worst. GL

they like the oxygen from peroxide but i only use it if needed for bad droop/root problems and yours are better so all gd. a tbsp per gallon is what i use.

H202 kills your soil microbes and does not add a Lick of oxygen to soil. For Petes sake, you use it to kill bacteria and everything else ,kill your microbes too.
Best just piss on your plant.

I went on a research spree after it was mentioned n of course I had too pick threw the garbage that the 15 year old post cause one of their friends told them something...found what I was looking for n basically as you said tws it's a no good idea! Destroys the living organisms n everything else for that matter in your soil. I appreciate the idea but as always I do lots of research on things people try n tell me works!

They look like signs of overwatering, not enough oxygen to the roots. What kind of soil did you use? Did you water the pot after transplant to allow roots to settle in? Gotta be something along those lines.

hey there Dabwiz- either over watering or under watering will cause drooping like that. if your not saturating the entire soil mass, you can have pockets of dry soil, especially out around the periphery that can cause drooping, then make sure to have good drainage at the bottom

Thanks for all the help. I'd put money on it was te cold nights. Cause even after soil dried n was watered again they still looked the same for a few days. Everyone looks happy n healthy now besides wanting too get fed everyday....just finally got the bottom leaves too go green again lol

Ehh the cold probably made the ground water in the soil to cold for plant to be happy normally plants exposed to cold don't show signs of over watering they just slow growth tremendously and eventually die. I'd say the cold could have played a role but water and soil played the largest. Just don't push it off as solely a temp problem cause if you do you won't learn! Over watering has tooken the life of oh so many young marijuana plants.
