So i have 8 lil ones that are about 3.5 weeks old almost 4 ( check em out in my sig :mrgreen: ), they are on 18/6 lighting with CFL's. i went to check them out last night at about hour 17, and a few of them were drooping pretty bad ( the first few sets of leaves were touching soil just about ). My temps stay between 72 and 77 lately with humidity around 50%. I checked them this morning and they've perked up, but what would cause them to droop so much? Also, would foliar feeding help any?

Over or under watering causes them to droop. If you are watering regularly, cut back. If not, then water them more regularly :-).

one of my plants would go from looking droopy to lookin extra perky by my other 2 were more static. I think some plants are just more touchy then others
I know mine look a little droopy on watering day, or maybe they got a little over watered
no big deal im sure

its been happening the past 2 day though (forgot to say that), around hour 17 they just droop, and the next day they pop back up... i water once every 3 days, last time i watered, they got their 1st set of nutes, maybe that has something to do with it? i just dont dont want them turning herm on me from stress ( if they're girls lol ). Thanks for the quick response guys! :mrgreen:

Your probably watering too much, over watering is a lead cause of droopiness amongst growers who care a bit too much.

droopiness has struck again, they've been perky all day, then all of the sudden at hour 17 lol 2 of them have drooped... i dunno, maybe my ladies are worn out from so much "sun" lol. Eh, oh well, they do fine during the day, and they only droop for like an hour or so i think, ill let em do their thing.

was told by a medical grower that i started talking to about my plants, if there not on 12-12 they drop to relaxe a bit. If they droop heavy its over or underwatering. most of the time on underwatering the leaves have a paper feel to em like brittle almost... He recommended misting them when they droop to get them alittle redbull wake up but its not that you have to. My plant actualy started drooping when i changed my grown room configuration.. maybe a change in lighting but im not sure.. youll be fine dont fuss to much but keep your head in there to check em

true, but wouldn't the bag over it cut down the lumens and the light it gets to it? Maybe i could even put a trash bag, with the inside moist, over them during their dark period. do you think that would be better? just so they get the most lumens during lights on.

Mine in the past have started looking droopy around watering day. I waited tell I see about half of the shoots starting to curl then its watering time. I have a moister meter but I found them to be unreliable. I got these meters at home depot, but every time they start out working ok but as time goes they loose there ability to read right. Anyone here know of a good quality moister meter for me to purchase?

well if you have a shit load of lumens like me it doesn't matter when the plant is that small. if you can fit a zip lock over it use it i say.
