Why is my baby sad?

Mister Pickles · May 7, 2022

Every day the plant is droopy for most of the day and about 6 hours before lights off it perks up.
The temps are fine, the watering is fine, the humidity does vary a bit but nothing too drastic. Its always at the same times of day she perks up. I'm baffled?

Above is the before and after pics. She seems to be growing well other than the droop

What do you consider fine for everything you listed?

You're going to actually have to provide some information if you are looking for help.

I think its called wilting, to reduce surface area, for less moisture loss.

Wilting means dying. The humidity from what I see is high there should be zero issue with the plants ability to transpire.

Mister Pickles · May 7, 2022

78f/25c constant. Watering every 3 days when she is dry. (the pics above are one day away from water) Humidity around 45-60 (could be better humidity I guess)

I don't think she is dying, shes been like this for 2 weeks and is drinking fine and growing ok. I use biobizz lightmix for growing medium if that helps?

Are you in soil? Doesn't look even close to dry yet.

What are you using for a light, how close?

I wouldn't consider the second picture perked up either, maybe just less droopy.

Raise the humidity to 65 to 70 while in veg bring the temp up into the 80's. I water 5 gal pots daily I don't let them dry out ever.

Mister Pickles · May 7, 2022

Yes I'm in soil. Biobizz light mix. i have not given any nutes yet and by tomorrow morning she will be dry trust me. The pot will be light as a feather.
The lightmars hydro ts600 but I might swap it over for my spider farmer SF1000. The plant is 23" away from light.

I will give it a go and get back to you. Thanks for help brother.

If that thing has been vegging for a long time
With limited light it might need up potted
As a rule wilting is under or overwatering
So you saying it dries quickly makes me wonder about your watering practices

She looks pretty nice, no tip burn, no bleaching. My new apple tree does the same thing. I like to keep my light 28" to 32", but your girl doesn't seem to mind other than the wilting. Once her roots have populated more and there are more leaves, then you might not see the wilting so pronounced.

I think your over watering.

It was the same in the solo cup as well. I lightly watered and increased when it was drinking more but for some reason it wilts for half the day then picks up again. I could take a pic right now and she looks totally fine but in another few hours she starts wilting again. I'm guessing its a strain trait?

I think she will do better when shes fully rooted out. Shes in a 2.5 litre at the moment then I'm putting her into the 5 gallon

It seems to me as if you have a watering schedule of once every 3 days.

Don't water according to a schedule. Water according to the needs of your plant.

Willing to bet its over watering.

I water when its bone dry and its bone dry every 3 days, I would be scared to go to 4 as it would probably be dead lol

Just spitballing here since I'm no expert, but could it be transplant shock? Did they start in the solo cups you mentioned?
