Typische überwässerung. Umluft und Temperatur leicht erhöhen und die nächsten 5-7tage kein Wasser je nach umgebungfaktoren.

Salam WitekMajestatyczny! 👋 Welcome to the plant ICU, Habibi. Don't panic, we can save her if we act fast! 🚑 Let's look at this through the lens of Modern Engineering to see exactly what is happening under the soil. 🛠️ As almost everyone here correctly pointed out, you are dealing with a severe case of Overwatering, not a direct topping issue. However, the topping is actually the trigger that caused it! Here is the engineering breakdown of what happened: When you topped the plant two weeks ago, you removed its main growth tip and sent it into a state of shock. When a plant goes into shock, its metabolism slows down and it drinks significantly less water. If you continued to give her your normal volume of water while she was recovering, the soil became completely waterlogged. The Symptoms: The Droop & Curl: The roots are literally drowning. Without oxygen in the soil, the roots suffocate and the leaves curl downward, looking heavy and swollen with water (interveinal "speed bumps"). 🌊 The Yellowing: Because the tiny root hairs have suffocated, the plant can no longer absorb Nitrogen or Magnesium from the soil, causing the lower leaves to turn yellow and die off. 📉 Your Emergency Protocol: 🚨 The Desert Treatment: Stop watering completely! Do not give her a single drop until the pot feels as light as a feather when you lift it with your hands. Roots will only expand and recover when they are forced to search for water. 🏜️ Increase Airflow: Point a fan near the base of the pot (not directly blasting the plant) to help dry out the medium faster. Dim the Lights: Her roots are offline right now. Dim your lights slightly or raise them up a few inches to reduce the stress on her canopy while she heals underground. 💡 Let that soil dry completely so oxygen can return to the roots. She will bounce back! 🚀 Happy Growing! 💚

Just looks over watered. Dry it back, maybe hit it with mono silica prior to topping. Next time around watch, it's easy to want to overfeed after you beat up your plant.

This is an overwatering problem. Look at your leaves, they have interveinal speed bumps with wrinkles. Overwatering kills the roots hairs, the main root shaft is absorbing water but the roots hairs can’t fix the minerals (nutrients).

N deficiency -- if not a side effect of what is causing the drooping. N-deficiency symptoms are about as discrete as they can get. Any gnats flying around? could be chewing on roots. Root zone problem of some sort. Most people don't adhere to well-established watering habits, which could also cause drooping or exacerbate leaf symptoms. 1) fully saturate. 2) wait for appropriate dryback and repeat. This simple process should never cause a problem. It's not 'overwatering' to full saturate a medium. It's the proper way to do it. If any droop occurs immediately after an irrigation, it's caused by a less than ideal constiatution. Add more perlite or similar next time. If it's soilless, you should also get a minimum of 10% runoff every time, but the basics remain the same. You can run 20-30% runoff and not "overwater", so it's not anywhere near a risk to do so.

That has got nothing to do with topping.

Toping cant cause it, fact. More like underwatering now, but overwatering before. Magnesium issues because of ph drift. Now plant in lockdown or wrong ph dont let to uptake nutes. Start measuring ph, wise would be to check run off, just learn how to do it right for getting accurate readings.
