Gently pull the plant from its pot and look at the rootball, im thinking its on its way to rootbound. If so you did good it needs more space now.

Roots looked good...going horizontally along bottom are the prominent ones I could see.
This morning she was actually a bit perkier. I also went ahead and topped it,(first topping i ever did) I just wanted to see what happened as I'm trying to dabble in a bit of some form of training soon.

This is what I dont understand...I use that moisture meter probe...its been shoved all the way through the middle and the needle was in the red...I water it and within 5 minutes shes sagging...I thought watering was good?! This time I purposely left the plant dry for an entire day...bone dry.

Unless the moisture huddled around the stem...cause I always probe in at least 2 places and always along the perimeter of the pot and all the way to the bottom watching that meter needle. Unless it's getting too much water at a time, I dont think the soil is staying wet...christ, it surely couldn't in the 90 degree environment! Lmao.
It's been once about every 2-3 days here lately I'll water it till it trickles out the bottom based on probe readings and how long it's been since the last watering...pH water given was 6.3

Overwatering is very bad. When I first started growing this was the first mistake I made. It's better to be under watered than over watered. If the soil is bone dry the plant will sag and come back to life within minutes of watering. Let her dry out for a couple days and transplant.

Be focused in what you do. If you are looking to solve a problem it can get harder to do if several variables are changed at once.

That is incorrect but understandable. When transplanting the idea is to merge the containers together. You want to water around the outside edge mostly then over the middle and water to slight runoff. The general idea is if the new soil is wet the roots will search out that water and expand to give themselves more water and space.

It may droop for a few more days while it adjusts but should absolutely take off. If you use more FFOF soil in the transplant you likely need very little nutes for a while still

Yea I just felt "naughty" not watering it after the transplant! I just got so much paranoia of overwatering from the last 16 plants consecutively I've tried to start since my insception as a cannabis grower!! Yea I did that shit...so this time I've been very greedy with the drink for the 3 new ones I've brought to life, the one in question here is the oldest.
My medium was the issue then...I learned and adapted to that so I dont water till my little "green thumb" meter tells me shes bone dry through and through, and even then I'd let that bitch go another day!

So anyway should I water it today around that fresh soil? (happy frog)

I wish i could stop by for a big session, sounds like we would get along good! And you got the party going

Many here seem to be like me...hard workers ready to work but needing a little help. I almost always have one or more small issues im managing. I have never had an issue where waiting a day and thinking about it more didnt help. I think 80% of it is us just wanting to do more!. Like i need a 500 plant farm to keep me busy lol...

Let me offer some help with this...

And spend an hour only reading her posts in that thread. It is the most valuable watering tutorial there is. Make sure you go far enough to see her flower addendum.
