ok, i watered them this past wednesday and took that picture on saturday afternoon. i watered them saturday night and they perked up pretty quick, within a few hours or so. now it's sunday afternoon and the one i took the picture of is kind of starting to look like it is going back to how it was.

From my experience over/underwatering leads to wilt and what I see there are leaf petioles that are not drooping. What I see at first glance is a very dark green plant and possible nitrogen toxification, the plants color could also be a lighting effect but the petioles are not.

You should completly saturate your soil once a day usually or less. (sometimes its dry at the end of the day and i water a small ammount.)

my plant is doing the same thing as sn8keman02 so how do i tell if it is over watering or under watering?
If it's under-watering the leaves will be limp and lifeless and simply dangle down, if it's over-watering the leaves will be turgid and stiff but curled down and under.

Sounds like you're over-watering.

mmm I have the same problem too
but some leaves are completely dry, they're yellow and they break off when I touch them. Now the plant's coppers start to bend to the floor.
in two days the plant is almost dead and I don't know why
maybe the thermal excursion between day and night?

I am having the same issue with MG and I water once every 7 days because the soil is still moist an inch down after a week, the MG just holds alot of water, I do not have quarter size holes but I do have over 10 pencel size holes and I think that is enough. I am doing a test, I am waiting over 7 days to water the others, I think its over watering because after 7 days I watered and it did not perk up. I have a picture. If I water every 3 days maybe that will do the trick, but it will not be dry after 3 days it will still be moist. So maybe i need to water every 2 weeks? and water the other every 3-4 days and see what happens, but MG has nutes in the soil, not much so maybe its something with that. help any ideas?

i have same problem i think.i got my clones at 7.30 last night. white widow clones they r in rockwool cubes in a propagator.i soaked my rockwool cubes in tap water. i then dipped stems in clonex rooting gel and put them in.i misted leaves with tapwater and put lid on.i then went 2 bed at 10 and sprayed leaves again.this mornin at 7.30 they were curled and drooping down.so i sprayed em again n at 2.00pm 2day iv realised that some formulex i had was meant 2 b soaked in the rockwool cubes instead of just tap water.also i am sarting 2 use this formulex mixed with tap water for sparaying.but how often do i spray em? n wot temp shud prop tank b? n what humidity? n how much light.i have envirolite 200w light 1ft away from bottom of prop tank

Hey I dont know much about the cloning But i do that that when you cut the branch to get your clone you should have done it under water by cutting the branch holding it under water and then cut the angle with something. This is so no air gets into the cut. then dip in the mix. If you dont have a cover to hold moisture in i dont know what to tell you. I dont know much about it, but I think you dont need to spray if you use a greenhouse cover.

I was thinking today that I would love to have a over watering problem, because all I would need to do to fix the problem is to not water. but after 7 days the soil is still moist not dry a half inch down and the leaves are yellow on the bottom 2 and are dry with redish brown spots. redish stems on the top but not the bottom. MG soil CFLs 1 inch away cool and warm, the water is PH 7.5 with a ph tester.
