I'm with toolong here; She's wilted, and possibly heat stresses.

A half gallon is not enough to thoroughly saturate the soil in that 5 gal pot.

Give her the 1/2 gal 0 wait 10 minutes (for the soil to wet) then give her another gallon. It's fine if 20% runs out the bottom.

Add a couple drops of dish soap, and it will help the watter penetrate the soil.

Only water again once it starts to dry out - when the planter feels light.

Re-potting wont hurt either - you'll be able to go a couple days between watering's in the new container IMO
thankz...how long should expect her to recover

Never dude. Nature knows what it is doing. And weed is just that a weed. It is much more resilient
that what some may have you too believe.

i can deff tell ya that gurl is under watered . that plant is big and is in need of minimum 2gallons a day . i have a gurl about 6 ft and bushy as hell in ffof 12gal pot and i have 2 water 2 times a day at about 5 gallons a day . it stays between 90-100 deg and humidity is between 50-90 % with an average of 70% if i skip one of my daily waterings , she will be wilted . water until u see water escaping from the bottom weep holes . if she is really dry water will rush thru the gap between the pot and dirt where dirt has pulled away from pot and will require u to water more 2 get the soil saturated enough 2 expand and absorb te water WATER MORE IS THE KEY. WATER WATER FEED , WATER WATER FEED , EVERY THIRD WATERING FEED AND SHE WILL REWARD U GREATLY:joint::joint:

It's funny you brought that up, The nice thing about your plants in pots is on super sunny hot days it wouldn't hurt to place your plants behind a tree or bush that will still get light but not direct all day. I find my girls like the later afternoon sun. On those really hot days and they look a little distressed I mist them down with water and they usually have a great response to that too.

I don't think its over watering. You can see how the roots have started to grow up the side, so you definitely should invest in a bigger pot. she'll probably be really happy once you do that. It looks like you are planning to get a 10gallon container, so thats good.
It doesn't look like underwatering, but I would suspect that before overwatering because she has so many roots that it would be hard for her to have too much. the dirt also looks pretty dry and you said its hot out.

since you live in a hot climate you can probably get away with watering everyday. when it was hotter here I was watering everyday because my soil was so damn dry the next day. with the bigger pot you won't need to water as much though because you'll have much more space for water to hold.

good luck!

Evening, you don't want to burn her. Wait till the sun goes down and mist away. And like I said just monitor your soil moisture if dry add water and if you do that you probably want notice the sad leaves. What kind of soil are you using? You read what I said about your pots color it was just brought to my attention that could cause overheating and which would also cause dryer soil which means more watering.

I'm with you man Fox Farms all the way and I haven't added any nutes there's no reason my girls are very healthy but I think I'm also going to repot now while they're still smaller into a lighter color 10-15 gallon pot.

I am going to take this a bit deeper. Morning and evening sun are more like HPS. Warm and red. While mid day sun is more like MH cool and blue. You can def use these things to your advantage depending on what stage of growth you plant is in.
