Mine droop every night 1.5 hours before bedtime....
And again after I water them. They come right back though in an hour or two after

^ My leaves ONLY droop when i over-water....NEVER when i give them just the right amount. Plants in the wild dont get water pour straight on the soil most of the time. It has to go down its leaves and such. When a plant needs water The leave will point upwards...when a plant has had too much water they point their leaves down...Look at a tree before , during , after it rains and youll know what i means.
come on people!! I can't believe no one has said this... its NORMAL for that to happen, for every plant I've owned they have always dropped a little after the waters. I don't think you can really give them too much water, you can too often, but I wouldn't think at once? (w/i reason)
No worries bro, completely normal

Water until you see runoff coming out of the bottom. 5 gallon pots usually take 1.5 gallons each.What is just the right amount? So if i grow in a 5gal bucket and my soil is dry how would I calculate JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT.
Plant leaves will wilt/droop when they dont have water same as gentlemen said right after watering yes they do droop but should lift up after little while....^ My leaves ONLY droop when i over-water....NEVER when i give them just the right amount.

AMEN TO THAT i was starting to think i was on the wrong site lol all plants even house plants droop after water
Super old thread but tap water is great. Beem running tap water for 2 years nowSometimes when they germinate and you place them in VEG, they could still be in shock and if the top leaves are growing, stop watering for a few days and just let nature take its course. It`s ok, to use a light spray around the soil with a small amt of Cal/Mag or Epson Salt added just to insure everything is ok. Are you using RO or Distilled Water? Tap Water, i`m sorry to say, doesn`t cut it....
,it's normal it's good to flush or the salts build up at the bottom just do it until it runs out the bottom a bit, test the ph from drain off unrelated but important just take your time watering do a few Dixie cups at a time take a butt break then do it again, but def don't water until it's dry^ My leaves ONLY droop when i over-water....NEVER when i give them just the right amount.

Actually jimmycricket I just thought of something plants need the correct ph in the soil, and water to uptake the correct nutrients at maximum efficiency. So if your soil is organic let's say. It should buffer out to be 6.5 roughly. I water with ph of 8 but have a lower ph soil... based off packaging. Right away my plant droops after being watered. Hence incorrect ph... but within the day it buffers out In my organic super soil and my leafs pray to the sun again. Oh one more thing remember the tree analogy mentioned earlier just think of th ph scale 1-14 rain water is a 7 naturally distilled by the sun and evaporation and comes down nuetralIf the plants droop quickly after being watered, but soon after it gos back to happy then your soil must be bad and has low drainage.
There is not really anything else logically i can think of that would cause this. Basically you are drowning the roots for a couple hours, eventually it gets better and thats why it perks up again.
Old wives tale about the trees and the leafs....when the leafs on the trees turn white it's going to rain. Poplar and oak and maple all do thisI totally disagree! When leaves droop on trees that means it's going to rain. This old wives tale has been around as long as I can remember and has always been accurate.
I got my clones at the exact same time from two different plants. One droops after watering, but the other one doesn't. They both get watered at the exact same time with the exact same amount. Explain that?!?!?
Weird you say that because mine also do the same. I'm starting to think they go to sleep and or are tired...sounds really stupid but I'm starting to wonder if they actually get tired and sleepMine droop every night 1.5 hours before bedtime....
