Overwatering?

[Minbebistillmax]

Hi my brother's and sister's!.

I'm growing Northern Lights at the moment and its not my first grow but maybe my first overwatering problem? .

I have a soil moisture tester thats sit in the soil so I can monitor it, but I think I need to do a calibration on it or its fine and everything I think I see is underwatering instead of overwatering?.
The pot feels heavy when I try to pick it up thats way I think I need to do that.

Just wanna some ela opinion on it.

Probably overwatering by the looks. I don’t never trust the meters if feels heavy the doesn’t need watered

Looks a lot more like under watering to me or way too high of relative humidity, I noticed the humidifier on the floor. What is your temperature/humidity and what potting mix are you growing the plants in?

I recently learned that if the stems are also drooping, then it's likely under-watering. I asked a similar question about my plants in this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/cut-bait-or-stick-it-out.1066909/. In my case, I was definitely under-watering. After a good watering they all perked up and began to recover in couple of days. I also started paying more attention to the vapor pressure deficit inside the tent. It's a useful metric that considers the combined impact of humidity and temperature on the plant.

Excellent you're getting it. Growing is so much easier with some simple baselines to go off like VPD. Just remember it's not a rule it's just a baseline or guideline. I've grown dank with what would be considered a bad VPD.

80 °F / 50% VEG
75 °F / 45% FLOWER

Never fails.

My humidity was a lite bit to hig like 60% max, changed too 50 at lowest and 55 as highest.
My temps are 19.5 -20.5C lights off and 27-28C when its on, and I have a pot size about 25L I thinks it's about a 5 galon, not sure but yeah.
I think its overwatering because the stems are straight almost and the leafs how is dropping, but I gonna se how it react now when I haven't watering it for about 1 day.
The soil I'm using is bio-bizz light soil and for the nuts I'm going whit livingsoil dry fertilizer for autos.

Yeah I'm gonna test to pick up the pot again and se what the meter is saying and if the pot feels heavy and wet then its time for a calibration on it

Yeah I have read about it, that if the stem is straight and the leafs are dropping, then its a sign off over watering buts then the stem is also dropping then its under-watering.
I look at your photos and it looks definitively like under-watering becous the hole plant is dropping but in my case its a just a part of the plant to look like dropping but yeah it can change fast hehehe.
I will take a look when they came on again in about hour if is beter och just wors .
Il will get back to you/guys and girls about a update

So a bit update:
Its drying out and it looking better so I suppose its overwatering which is the problem.
