Why is my plant droopy?

ProteinPapi420 · Aug 23, 2020

It was droopy almost from the beginning of the veg cycle. It was in solo cups first and the root look very healthy so probably thats not the problem. ai have 2 more which look very healthy! Growing in coco ph is good temp is 26-28 humidity 50-60

The first thing I usually suspect is overwatering. Try letting them dry out a lot. Then wait another day. Then water. Be sure to wait until they’re dry again to water every time.

How much water? And what size container?

Another thing that can cause droopy leaves is if you have a fan hitting the plant directly. Post natural light photos too, so others can see the color of the leaves.

3 liters of water each and they are in a 10 gallon fabric pot

Great advice if the OP were growing in soil......but he's in coco.

Coco should be fed daily to run off.
Never plain water.
Never, ever let it get dry.

It's that simple.

Yup thats what I do. Maybe she looks this for no reason

I don't see any problem with your plants.......they look healthy. It's not unusual for a plant to droop a bit near the end of the light cycle.
Here's mine at two weeks......and they're a lot droopier than yours.

I know the pots big but 3L might be a bit much for such a small plant, I would cut that in half even.. I agree with mick tho, they really don't look that droopy

Jeffislovinlife · Aug 23, 2020

Try and switch the pot around under your lights or turn the pot a half turn for a different angle of light mite wake her up

The first 2 looks good the last one is only the droopy but then I think I shouldnt worry much

Good idea.

Most of the good coco growers seam to like smaller pots for that size of plant.I know its much easier to grow when they need watering every day.

should be watered with a run off but 3 liters of water is to much. I dont even get a run off with 3 liters

I'm not sure what you mean?
If you're not getting run off, you're not feeding it enough. Lack of run off will result in salt build up and problems.

one guy said 3 liters is too much but I dont even get a run off from 3 liter. Also my plant is getting droopier(Idk if thats a word lol) I thought about trandplanting and the topping but my other 2 plants look very healthy

There is no reason to transplant.......your containers are large enough........I doubt they're 10 gallons like you say.
Feed enough to get 20% run off every day........if it takes 1 gallon then so be it.
