Hello, I keep having issues with 1 big plant, she keeps drooping halfway the day till night, I have no idea whats going on with her. I feed her 1.4EC, she looks good in the morning, but after the second watering (coco/perlite mix) she starts to droop. RH: 55% Temp: 28C Day: 41

From my personal experience, plants droop their leaves straight downwards to limit the amount of light exposure once a certain threshold is reached, ofcourse strain and genetic dependent. What you may be seeing is your plant getting a too high intensity of light and reaching a limit halfway through the day. You would be well aware if the problem was related to over-watering which is hard with a coco/perlite mix in an airpot. I use 20L airpots and a plant that size in warm conditions easily goes through at least 2L of fertigation per day. Distance your lights from the top of that plant by 5cm or more and note the effect within a few days - not much to lose with such an approach. Good luck.

those are nice lights... go down to 1 in vege is another option. 1 is good for a 5x10 vege i bet. 2 for a 4x8 bloom

if you are overwatering, you should know... if not, try moving lights further away? 2 of those lights is a ton of umol/s... i'm 90% certain it's your lights. if in vege, go down to 16 hours, that will help. you are torching them with light. in bloom with only 12 hours, you won't have to be as careful with them. may need them further away in vege too. do those have an adjustment for brightness? that'll work too. a cheap lus meter or a nice par meter can help you dial it in. find a measurement it stays praying most of the day. like i said, you'll be able to torch them in bloom due to less hours.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. They are sum monsters!!..i think she's just a bit water logged at that point.. Im presuming because ur medium is so light that's why u water twice a day.. Ive used coco/perlite /pebbles mix and hsd to do that myself..just give her less on second watering.. In full swing mine used to enjoy 10ltrs in morning (for 5plants under 1x600w) and a 5-7ltr in evening..try maybe give her bit extra time between feeds?..stay safe n gud luck with her around harvest time.. 👍🍀

Hey buddy :-) Could it be that they are watering a little too much? there is a very simple trick when you give water. Let it dry nicely, then lift the pot up and remember how easy it is. Then pour it and lift the pot back up and notice how heavy it is now. The next time you water, you will only do it again if the pot is as light as when you started. As a pure beginner, you can also use a scale and note the weight ፦). Keep carrying as before 👍
