Could this be from overwatering? Confused on plant drooping for over a week

This 24 Carat started drooping around day 24 and seemingly hasn't recovered since then. I'm on day 31 now. I let it go 4 days without water and this morning the soil seemed really dry pretty far down and the pot was light. I watered 1.5 liters this morning and saw no improvement.

No, you're EC is spiking with the dryback and this is nitrogen toxicity ... flush with water and the next dryback should improve

Yeah id echo the whole vpd chart guide it helps. I took some clones off a guy a few years zgo that was running a hydro table i i put the baby in soil t took a good month or better to get them back and honestly they never really looked wonderful but gave a descent yield with nice nugs. Id say partially the strain and overfed combined with stressors like method switch and yes watering. Dont be rigid with watering until you have things dialed in and even then monitor your ladies for there needs. Some girls like going to dinner xome girls like to go to club

Probably underwatered to the point where you either have killed so many roots that she cant suck enough water up anymore or the soil got hydrophobic from being too dry and the water you give it just runs off to the sides instead of soaking into your soil. Could also be the case partially, where some of the soil is still moist but there are hydrophobic dry spots in which the roots have probably died.

This is a head scratcher. If it is not solved by a watering solution, try backing your fan off the plant some.

Lower Rh to 60%, the key to watering is to fully soak the soil and let the top inch dry before watering again, eg I'm in 12L pots, I water every 3rd or 4th day, when I water I do it over a few hours giving small ish amounts and it usually takes between 3-5L before I get runoff then it's good to go.

Do you water too frequently or dump gallons upon gallons on your plant? Is this a trick question? 1) water entire pot... 10% runoff with soilless. 2) wait for appropriate dryback for the medium as constituted. 3) repeat. It's that simple. With a high water-capacity media wait for top 1" to dry. Media constituted differently that hold less water per volume you'll want to re-irrigate sooner than that. Learn the weight loss as that is the best trigger for 'next' irrigation. If normal irrigation causes this, it is the fault of how the substrate is constituted and nothing else. Add more perlite or similar if this occurs. A root zone issue caused by bad watering habits could definitely cause what you see. It could be other causes, too, as it is not a discrete symptom to 1 cause. Sounds like you caused the wilt given your description of how dry and lightweight the pot was. It may not bounce back immediately. If it was dry for too long it may have died. Give it a moment, it'll be obvious soon enough. Don't choose the volume to give... you give enough to get the job done. you are most likely causing this problem with bad watering habits. in soilless water until 10% or more runs out the bottom (important to maintain equilibrium in soilless context), in soil you want a minimal runoff to ensure the entire thing gets wet each irrigation because you don't want to leach off the amendments that come in the soil that you paid for. You give enough to accomplish the task, not some predetermined number you made up in your head.
