my pink kush just not right. I always check the weight of my plants before I watered them. And she’s heavy (28lbs today, yesterday was 32.) she’s always drooping. I’ll give some water and perks back up for a little bit and right back to droopy. I’ve done a transplant thinking it might be root bound. I’ve checked my pH in soil it’s 6.4. I’ve adjusted my light down to 75% at 18 inches. My humidity been upper 40s and the temps have been upper 70s. I started out in happy frog soil with nature living soil in bottom I’m just not sure what else I can do. I don’t know what else to do from here. I don’t want to keep adding water. The pot is extremely heavy right now. I’m trying to avoid a flush cause I’m not sure the issue. Does anyone have any ideas that may help? i’ve included photos from last Sunday when I did the transplant to

Looks underwatered. If overwatered the stems stay straight while the leaf droops. Underwatered the stem also droops. Add some microbes if you have any just in case your roots aren't happy. Microbes can help fight off the bad stuff.

They look hungry and under watered. The whole plant is limping. If it’s not dying from drowning it’s dying of thirst.

You are scared to flush? Why because you can’t control catching the outflow?
I’d say get the bag off that travel roller and little tray and into something that can catch atleast 10l of outflow and sit the bag on bricks.

other than that ditch the bags and start growing in bath tubs next time. It may sound dumb but how are those grow bags helping you?

turn the lights down even more... they can't handle it right now... if you dial in your watering and feeding, the roots should grow nice and healthy and the plant will be able to uptake the nutrients better and you will get explosive growth then turn up the lights as you go

I have a purple plant that does something similar when there is too much Nitrogen in the soil.
I think you should try flushing the soil. The new growth on your plant looks like its clawing a bit, and the leaves are wrinkling, which is a sign of too much N. Some plants prefer a lower dose of N. Screenshot_20241201-070907.png

I think Pegboy is right on. When you transplanted was there a good rootball?
I have a similar problem going on. When I transplanted I noticed that the top 2/3 of the rootball was good but the bottom third was a soggy mess.
I surmised that the perlite I had added was floating to the top leaving the bottom third with poor drainage. The solution was patience and minimal watering.
