What's up with these droopy plants?!?!

I keep hearing about this end of day droop, or I just watered, or just flipped, I dunno, I aint buying it. If I see a drooping plant, in the dark, at lights on, or off, means it needs water here. sometimes I get a droop for a bit with a transplant, my payment for molesting roots, and they lift up with some water quickly.

op plant doesnt like mud is all I think

The end of day droop is called Circadian Rythm. Plants can drop from over and under watering as well.

You definitely shouldn't be in a watering schedule. Water when pots send are very light. I know every 3 days that soil is probably soaked at the bottom just collecting.

You can come visit my greenhouse most nights and witness a dramatic end of day drop/droop that is in no way related to too much or too little water. I see it to a lesser extent on indoor grows, but still see it, especially if big wattage is pushed on a smaller plant like this one. The top of his soil is dry and plenty of perlite so overwatered is tough for me to buy into, but it is a classic overwatered leaf structure.

I have no watering schedule, I agree, I kick buckets daily and water as needed when light. In all my years growing indoors I've never seen droop without a health or watering issue. not at lights on or off. I have live vid of my plants all day and night too, nary a droop.
I have to wonder why some peoples do and some dont. I have seen it it in other gardens personally even.

yes sir, I mentioned indoors for this reason in the next post. I also see it many days of the year in my greenhouses too, but not in my indoor rooms. what gives?

"especially when big wattage is pushed"= a plant health issue, not normal, not in a dialed garden. so does this mean the droop indoors(and out?) is caused by excess heat? light? my apple trees dont droop at night for example

The evening droop has always fascinated me and IMO looks different from an overwatered droop .....I've noticed the evening droop is a lot more noticeable on the days I water .

Oh and OP,,no need to ph your water in that soil....GL

Yeah, I don't see it on all of my indoor strains, just a few. And I only recall seeing it indoors when they are smaller and moving up to new lights where I think they just get a little stressed by end of day from new light intensity, like hardening off type stress.

Outdoors it is a reaction to the sun sinking and temps dropping, probably changes in barometric pressure too. I can see a nice droop as thunderstorms come in during day too.
