A Theory why Healthy Plants in Veg Droop.

I have been running into this issue again, and been trying to think what could cause it.

Dr. Carl E. Whitcomb concluded that any stress to a tree, would cause the root system to shut down. Even just taking a hole puncher to the leaves would shut it down.

It appears that fimming/topping/super cropping/defoliation, causes the root system to shut down for a bit.


This is what would cause the plant to look under watered, when it shouldnt be.

Bonus: a photo of his rootmaker pots ive been testing. Love em.

I would say it's stress on the plant. Too much training with not enough recovery time in between. Training a smaller plant takes imo 2 weeks to fully recover. And exposing the root system to light and a bright flash will stress them also.

Is that picture of your roots in one of the pots? Doesn’t seem like enough roots for a plant that size.
