Why are the leaves drooping even though I water every 2 days? Is it because of the light or am I doing something wrong?

Hey✌️ It could be overwatering, so it would make sense if you water the same amount every 2 days😅 How strong are your lights? Regarding not enough light, I wouldn't really worry, but just to be safe, what PPFD are you currently working with?

Oh, that unfortunately looks a lot like overwatering. When the plants let their leaves droop like that and appear slightly swollen, it's usually a sign that they've gotten too much water. It's best to significantly reduce the watering – hopefully, they'll recover soon.

Node spacing doesn't indicate light being the cause unless you did something in that regard very recently. Sounds like you don't have good watering habits. 1) fully saturate 2) wait for top inch to dry and repeat. is the simples way to put it... 'enough' drayback is the key and you don't want any wilt, of course. The volume required will be similar if you irrigate at same loss of weight from the pot. You don't choose the volume nor the time between irrigations. Context dictates these things not some top-down feelings on the matter. If not doing that, start. It may be the cause. Partial watering may be leaving certain zones of medium dry which can be difficult for roots that grew there and invites buildup of nutrients as moisture ebbs/flows around a dry pocket .. evaporation deposits more nutrients each time it happens, then goes back into solution when it gets moisture again etc... also, it trains superficial roots which are not ideal. if watering entire volume ever causes a problem, it is 100% the fault of how the medium was constituted. Simply watering should never cause a problem (assumes you don't water too frequently). Take your brain out of it. Simply react to what you observe. Give the volume necessary to accomplish the task and not some preordained volume you chose to give every 2 days. If that is 'soilless' you need 10% runoff to maintain nutrient levels. In soil, just make sure it is fully saturated with minimal runoff when things are healthy - i.e. don't waste your soil's amendments. I'd suggest more perlite mixed in... 50% of volume for high water capacity soils and 30% of volume for coco coir context. Both end up with same drainage/aeration properties.

Yo EL_Papi, its most likely from overwatering. Composana soil holds water well, and watering every 2 days might be too much now. Let the pots dry out more, water only when they feel light. Drooping after watering usually means roots aren’t getting enough oxygen. Your EC 1.6 and temps 22°C are fine, but watch for salt buildup if you’re feeding every time without runoff, a light flush might help. Water less often and let the soil breathe.

Hi EL_Papi. That looks like a case of overwatering. I don't know if your plant "needs" to be watered every 48 hours or, if that is standard practice you are applying but she looks overwatered to me. Your medium doesn't look like coco, so I am going to take it that you are growing in soil. Wait until the top 3-4 cm of topsoil has dried back. If you start using this as your watering guideline, your plants should bounce back in no time 👍 Now, if someone else more experienced comes along and diagnoses something else, you should probably listen to them 😁😅

Hey 👋 The problem unfortunately lies in the watering. You're probably watering too much, or the soil isn't drying out enough between each watering. This means the roots aren't getting enough oxygen, and sadly, the leaves are drooping. Cannabis likes water like this: Completely wet - completely dry - completely wet… I hope that helps 🖖 If you have any more questions, feel free to send a PM. Happy growing 👊🍀
