The droop that won’t quit!

[MickBastard]

I have a northern lights auto that has been doing outstanding until 5 or 6 days ago. I had just watered it and gave it about a half a gallon of water. I only water every 3 or 4 days. I noticed the plant was dropping around midnight. I have the plant on 18/6. I decided not to water for around 4 days. I let the plant dry out. The plant stops drooping around 10 am ish.. the plant looks well until around 8 or 9 every night. I’ve spaced out watering. I raised the light 2 inches. I lowered the intensity. There is zero signs of nutrient deficiencies. Leaves have a good color and the plant is flowering. Why in the hell does it start drooping every night. It looks pitiful. I’m a fairly new grower. Any advice and correction is welcome. I have a 4x4 tent. Have a 6 inch ventilation system. I’m growing in 5 inch cloth pots. I’m using coco and I use dr flower products, molasses and rapid start. Once every 2 wks I use cal mag. That’s it. I do make sure my water is between 6 and 6.5 Thanks

A 5 inch cloth pot and watering only every 3-4 days sounds like it could be limiting the plants growth.

Should I water more? I thought the droop was from me watering to much.

Should water more? I thought the droop was from over watering maybe. I’m going crazy with this. Lol

If your soil is dry to your first knuckle, slowly dump water in until “runoff”. This may take close to a gallon.

I use two methods.

Is my soil dry to the first knuckle?

Is my pot light?

if both of those are yes it’s ready for water.

Ok. Great advice. I will use it. This is my first coco grow. I just switched from soil

Ok that changes everything.

Coco should be watering every day

 

[MickBastard]

I didn’t see it in your original post. That’s my bad. Yes it should never be dry.

What’s your brand of coco in case someone is familiar with it.

the plant looks good it just looks like it needs water

The brand is Mother Earth with perlite

Ok so I have zero experience with coco. What I can tell you is that your plant looks good. So what you’re doing is working it just looks thirsty.

Thank you much! I appreciate your advice. Thanks

Come back with pics a few hours after water and I bet it will be looking better. Keep us updated and hopefully someone who grows coco can help too.

I got a purple punch that on the 3rd day droopy started 2ish weeks in to flower. I water on 3rd day soon when ligjt comes on with some droop 3 4 hours later back happy. I know this isn't the case with all plants but fixed my problem
I'm in soil so the time framing of needed water is different but underwatering my thoughg like me hah

Most definitely you are under watering. That was my first gut feeling. As others have said coco should be watered daily.
