Leave droop after watering

BiteAway

Is it normal for the plants leaves to droop a little right after watering (within 2 hours or so)? This is the second time i see this. Day 32 seems to be the most prominent so far.

I, too, grow autos under 24/7 and mine never droop unless they're either thirsty or have been overwatered... since they're drooping on you right after you water them, I'd say you're not letting them dry out enough between waterings. Make sure the pot is super light before giving them another drink! You don't have to abide by a strict schedule.. i.e., every two days or whatever... let the plants tell you when they need something. Autos can withstand drought better than they can withstand overwatering so if I'm ever in doubt, I will wait until they start drooping on me and then give them water or feed (whatever is up next for them) and they respond happily after about an hour or two. And btw, do check out FreeCain's diaries (there aren't any) before you take advice! Good luck with your grow... it looks fabulous!

This is normal. Plants leaves will droop during the day. I have plants droop two-three hrs before lights out. They droop so much it looks like they need water but that's not the case. Best of luck on your grow.
