droopy quite often means watering probs. my la woman drinks a lot more than my 5 other plants and it was droopy as fuck yesterday so i watered and fed them all last night. she was a tottaly diferent looking plant this mornig, all the leaves had raised and she was standing tall.
 
Ok I will try giving them a good water and see how they turn out tmoz. Have you got any tips on how often they need watering. I get paranoid about drowning my new babies

i'm new as well but got a lot of friends growing and im into my 2nd week of flowering. there is NO hard and fast rule on watering. the way i, and a helluva lot of others, water plants is by lifting them up and testing the weight, lift them dry, lift them wet. stick ur finger in the pot and if its dry about 3 inches down then it needs watered. the plan is to let the pot almost dry then flood it. the plants prefer that. i have six plant all in pots and trays underneath, i give them each 2 pints(1 litre) each and then do it again, and then another pint. this allows the water to penetrate thru the soil . u give them water till u get sum run off appearing in the tray, then stop. my plants need this every 3/4 days. it all depends on size of plant/pot and the amount of heat and growing thats goin on. each plant is different, i got one (la woman) and she's a thirsty bitch. its a trial and error thing.

ur soil is always gonna look dry. its under lights all day and a fan or two blowing on it.
 
Yeah nice one I've been watering mine a little bit every day and its been total guesswork as to how much I'm givin em. Your way sounds more accurate. Appreciate your input. Thanks again.
