Does she need water or is it something else?

[DeanB]

The plant in question is from unknown mexican weed, so I know nothing about her. I normally grow indoors but decided to put a couple outside for the summer. Another difference is I have her in about 90% peat with 10% soil from a field. The pot is heavy and I was wondering if that's from the soil weight or is it still wet down deep. I don't want to risk over watering her by watering an already wet soil. I know with peat when to water because it's light and I can pick up the black container next to this plant in the pictures with one hand when it's ready to water. I actually broke the container trying to pick it up with one hand, lol. That's how heavy it gets. Should I wait a few more days? What are opinions on what to do?

She needs water. Even if there are some wet bits of soil in the pot

I've been fooled before by these plants, I have resisted the urge to water today, I will check her first thing in the morning. After closer inspection I found some pest damage and sprayed her.

looks like how heavy it feels now is when its gonna need watered in the future. perhaps just a tad earlier.. looks nice and green besides her having (cotton root) haha anyways

What's cotton root? Haven't heard that one. I gave her 4 1/2 liters of water yesterday evening. This morning, a small defol. And she's perking up. I felt the difference now with the water weight. Thanks

I believe it is a cotton mouth pun, sir

Nice looking plant!

 

[luvinthebudz]

yep just a pun.. some dry roots in other words. she should perk up in no time tho

Do you see how not only the leafs are sagging but so are branches and stems? That means she needs water. If only the leafs sag shes got too much water.

listen to fanleaf, that is how you tell if you are over or under watered. the stance of the stem.
