Hey one of my plants has got really droopy leaves. I watered it 4 days ago with botanicare pure blend pro grow and fish emulsions. The next day it was fine. The day after that its leaves were drooping in the early morning but perked up in sunlight. Early morning next day the leaves were fine but by like 10 am they started drooping again and have been getting worse since. This was one of my best growing plants and I dont know whats wrong. My soil meter says there is plenty of moisture and the ph is in the green. The plant has been fed both nutes before. This is my first grow so please help. If i can provide any additional info to better diagnose the problem please ask.

Looks like she needs water. Could also be over-watered, but I think she needs water. Dig down in there a bit and feel the soil with your finger....

If you watered a few days a go and it was fine then water again, and water daily if weather is hot and throw the moisture meter in the bin. Also feed it more N.

I stuck my finger down to check the moisture at the edge of the hole there is plenty of moisture. The moisture meter says the soil is wet. This is my first grow so i am relying on alot of guesswork. IF it is root rot, what can i do about it?

did anyone read the post he said it has moister please dont water it will surely die
Thanks for your advise man. Thats what im trying to do. trying to dry out the soil by routinely mixing the top dry soil with the underneath moist soil. I haven't watered any of my seven plants for five days now and they all still show moisture but this is the only one that has these symptoms.

I'm going for needing water. I'll water my plants one day, and the next day the soil still seems fine pretty moist, and the tops will start to droop in the sun. I'll put it in the shade and the tops perk back up. Then i'll water and put it back out in the sun and the tops don't droop. Hell it rained at 2 am hard this morning, and only 9 hours later when the sun was up the tops started drooping. I watered, and the tops weren't drooping. The indicas need LOTS MORE water than sativa. I've just learned that. My indicas are in bigger pots than the sativa, and the indicas always need water before the sativa. I've never used a soil meter, but it sound useless.

This is a hybrid which is 85% indica. It is a Sweet Seeds Mohan Ram. From what i can tell after getting deep down in the soil with my own hand is that the soil is not locking for moisture, there is plenty of it.

If I were you, I would water 4 and don't water the other 3! That way you'll only loose half. It's a tuff call. I was 100% sure you needed more water, at first. Now, after reading some of the posts . . it could be either. I just can't believe that it doen' need water after 4 or 5 days. What state are you in? What kind of weather and soil are you in? Yeah, it's a tuff one. Good luck!

I took a bunch of soil out of the hole to help it dry faster. Im pretty much sure this was due to over watering.
