Plants droop till next light cycle every time I water.

[SickboyDilligaf]

Has anyone ever had plants that droop after watering but don’t perk back up till dark cycle comes and lights come on next day ?? No matter if I water 4 hours into my light cycle or with 4 hours left in my light cycle my girls droop until it completes a dark cycle. I’ve also had a slight claw problem that I can’t seem to remedy but there are no other signs of anything else besides well I have mentioned above. I’m in 3 gallon pots and I water every three days when the pots are completely dry. I think the client came from the ocean forest soil even though I have use that since I started growing and never had this problem before this grow. I guess I got a hot batch of it. I have 30% perlite and I also mixed in 1/3 of happy frog soil so I do not have a drainage problem. I’ll take a photo now rite befor lights out as soon as I get home to show What they look like after watering and I watered 12 hours ago

I’m pretty sure I have a slight N tox but no burn at all. They are a bit dark. Strain is Fast Buds Blue Dreamamatic. RH is 51. Temps are spot on.

Have you considered bumping up the humidity?

My gorilla laid down a half an hour before lights out every night. Some are more photo reactive than others.

It could be lack of aeration in your soil. That happens when you go too heavy on castings and not enough perlite/rice hulls/grow stones or whatever you choose for aeration.

I added 30% perlite

Here’s what they look like.

Yes 2 out of 3 lay down 2 hours befor lights out also on non feeding days. But these lay down after I water and don’t recover until next light cycle. No matter when I water.

Don’t think it would help. They are not dry crisp leaves. Total opposite.

You running led?

Sounds like water sensitivity. Had an Afghan that wilted for a day everytime I watered it. You aren't using cold water? Had to ask.

I’ll post a photo in the morning and they will be perky and ready to go next time I’m only going to water half instead of till run off see what happens. She’s just entering flower also

Are the leaves rolling over?

Get those temps up to 82-85.
You’ll probably see a difference after a few hours.
If not
Your medium isn’t aerated enough like suggested above.

68 degrees. Never had problem with that temp

No sir. My 4 th grow with her. I keep her 28 inches away and rotate them often because them Cobbs do have a hotspot. I am switching to an HLG next grow

I’ll try getting the temps up a little bit next time I water see if that helps but I have a ton of perlite in there I’ll take a picture in the morning. It’s also my fourth grow with the same mixture and never ever had this problem. I do thank you all for your suggestions

I run 8 100W crees. That light stress line is narrow.
i think merkin has your answer. Lighten the mix.

Perlite doesn't expand and contract like coco. Coco creates air pockets after every watering. Your roots will be less likely to drown or rot.

This is right after lights out.
