Hey guys!
I haven’t really had any problems with my plants, or anything to serious at least. But this morning I went to check on my wedding cake (indoor) and it’s droopy as shit. It looked great last night before I went to sleep..
It’s in a 2’x2’x4’ box, ffof/perlite, 3 gal smart pot, hlg 100v2 3000k, 50-64 rh and 74-81f.
I’ve been watering tap water I let sit out for a few days, the last couple waterings its been like 4/5 of a gallon.
Did I give too much water yesterday? I only water every 3-4 days when soils dry knuckle and a half deep so..
It was fine all day after I watered it but this morning it’s droopy as shit. I’m thinking maybe ph problems as I haven’t check it at all..
please help guys! Other than guessing ph I have no idea what’s up
First pic is yesterday, rest are from just a bit ago

I mean your not,underlighting to bad but rule of,thumb is 50-60 watts per sq ft. You'd want about 200 actual watts.I am usijg the same,exact size . 2x2x4 and I'm using around 260 actual watts all together

With a plant that small and the temp you are keeping in there. 3 to 4 days to a gallon of water is too much. Pick up the pots instead of sticking your finger in.

I have an extra 35watts of led lights I can put in there as well as a blurple panel (???watts). Should I add some light?
I was told the hlg would be enough as it’s equivalent to a 200w hps or mh light I believe

Another thing that has a sign of overwatering like your plants is too much light... example that happen to me but I also only use L.E.D.s for lighting but my plants were watered and happy later in their day closer to their night time my plants did this got all droppy could be over watered could be under watered I just watered them but in any case I went ahead and watered again doubled the amount so I could have a high run off like a flush with water.. next day they were absolutely amazing right... later that night bam all droopy and sad looking.. googled the shit outtakes of multiple ideas and decided it was a light problem I checked my dist5at 24 inches from top of canopy ok only 4 inches below recommended not bad since its led... but I went ahead and brought the lights 2 300 watt lights equivalent to 250 hps/mh light each... again next day gorgeous and happy plants later that night no drooping well one plant was slightly but not significant enough but I still raised up to a total of 30 inches above canopy and haven't had the problem since... but drooping can also be root bound in the since of the way you water your plants that 90% of your roots are at the bottom causing it to hold too much water... fix on this one would be replant and water less at a time and not letting you pot dry completely causing your roots to nose dive to the bottom.. I use 2 and 3 gal fabric pots and only feed/water every 2-3 days at 500ml or 16.9 ozs of fluids I use a mt. Dew bottle for my watering can lol but it's never failed me since..

I'd put a light up. With lights ya can't go off of eq's.. Its the actual watts your looking for.. My led panel says 1200 equivalent watts but is actually 240w

Again tho. Not saying that's an issue but always helps to have sufficient lights. Then you can check that off a list of possibilities.

I have
* a 9w grow bulb from Home Depot
*a 9w led 5000k
*17.5w LED bulb 5000k
*some blurple panel (1300-1400 diodes but no idea on wattage)
I could throw a couple in there an see but the hlg is already warm.. that 17.5w bulb is warm too

Hey guys! After some thinking and more growing, this problem occurs when she’s thirsty. Every time.
She can be fine in the morning say 10am, but in just a few hours (if hungry/thirsty) by like 1pm she droops INSANely bad until about 3 hours after watering.
She’s just bratty and wants attention is all
