I guess I'm having a hard time comprehending lol. People are saying they water a lot more then I do, some people 4 times a day an others 3 gallons every 2-3 days, I'm Being told the plants are overwatered...so just to clarify I watered with 2 gallon on Tuesday and the plants wilted 12 hours after watering and have yet to recover. The pots are not as dry as I've had them in the past but they are not soaked, just slightly heavy. Sorry for not really understanding but some people went off on what they do which has kind of confused me now.

Just water till there's a bit of run off ;)

In flowering mine drink 1-2 gallons per day with only slight run off per feeding.

So are you saying they need water, it's been 2days days since I watered them but they don't feel completely dried out yet.

Looking back at your pictures i think you may also benefit from getting the pots raised up out of the pans also, mine seem to prefer to be elevated above a catch pan to get as much air to the smart pots as possible from all sides, even the bottoms

Edit: i use those cheap plastic stack shelves with holes in the shelves (utility room type)

Ok I'll try to figure something to raise them up. I have 4 1150w gavitas over them so I can't get them too close too the lights

I kinda thought coco was more like dirt since there isn't any oxygen being added to the water after it's in the pot. That was just
My own conclusion though.

@ op
And holy ballz I just realized you're in 15 gallon pots lol. That's new territory for me with coco. Normally I run 3 or 5 gallon smartpots with coco. Your setup might take some experimentation to find the right amount of water m8.

I'm gonna hit one with 1 gallon of water an see what it looks like when the lights come on in the morning. That should tell me if they need water or if they are overwatered

I'm about to run these damn things out and switch it over to hydro, I'm not any good on being on top of this watering shit.

With 15 gal pots it should need less frequent watering than what we were talking about. imo just water it and see if it fixed the drooping.

I use a pump and drip rings for watering on a digi timer. I'm a lazy mofo and it's less work than res changes and res temp control.

My res for these coco plants stays about 65 degrees which is what I run my hydro plants at. My hydro plants do great at that temp
