Plants droop till next light cycle every time I water.

Has anyone ever had plants that droop after watering but don’t perk back up till dark cycle comes and lights come on next day ?? No matter if I water 4 hours into my light cycle or with 4 hours left in my light cycle my girls droop until it completes a dark cycle. I’ve also had a slight claw problem that I can’t seem to remedy but there are no other signs of anything else besides well I have mentioned above. I’m in 3 gallon pots and I water every three days when the pots are completely dry. I think the client came from the ocean forest soil even though I have use that since I started growing and never had this problem before this grow. I guess I got a hot batch of it. I have 30% perlite and I also mixed in 1/3 of happy frog soil so I do not have a drainage problem. I’ll take a photo now rite befor lights out as soon as I get home to show What they look like after watering and I watered 12 hours ago690F346C-F77F-4F81-BF39-22A9A9418EE9.jpegD4A2A484-D6BB-4FEE-9365-6956AC71BDDE.jpeg

I’m pretty sure I have a slight N tox but no burn at all. They are a bit dark. Strain is Fast Buds Blue Dreamamatic. RH is 51. Temps are spot on. 9E62178A-AA69-4020-B9B7-4110ABC7021A.png

My gorilla laid down a half an hour before lights out every night. Some are more photo reactive than others.
Yes 2 out of 3 lay down 2 hours befor lights out also on non feeding days. But these lay down after I water and don’t recover until next light cycle. No matter when I water.

Sounds like water sensitivity. Had an Afghan that wilted for a day everytime I watered it. You aren't using cold water? Had to ask.

I’ll post a photo in the morning and they will be perky and ready to go next time I’m only going to water half instead of till run off see what happens. She’s just entering flower also

Get those temps up to 82-85.
You’ll probably see a difference after a few hours.
If not
Your medium isn’t aerated enough like suggested above.
I’ll try getting the temps up a little bit next time I water see if that helps but I have a ton of perlite in there I’ll take a picture in the morning. It’s also my fourth grow with the same mixture and never ever had this problem. I do thank you all for your suggestions

Perlite doesn't expand and contract like coco. Coco creates air pockets after every watering. Your roots will be less likely to drown or rot.
