Am I overwatering?

[Huey69]

She's still droopy
She is still growing...but obiviousily not at it's fastest rate. I'm planning on transplanting pretty soon here..and I'm debating whether I should grab a bag of perlite and mix it into the soil..
If this helps at all, I've noticed that the lower leaves will be perky and look ok, while its the upper leaves that are droopy...

You need to calculate how much liquid your potted medium will Hold (if you want an easy way to do this let me know) ... The more you know the better IMHO ... even the things that seem insignificant might turn into problems further down the line ... your plants are nice and green ... so you aren't on the wrong track ... you just need to tweek a few things and you'll be Mackin It ... moony ... the finger test has faults ... even when properly applied at 2 to 3 inches ...

Ya I have no clue how to calculate how much, so if you wanna give me the easy way, that'd be great!

I'm just really confused as to why this plant is droopy while my other two smaller plants that are on the same schedule and in the same pots/soil are nice and perky and happy (except not as tall, but they are diff. strains).

EDIT: Here's a couple pics from today. She always looks like this..Even when the soil is moist.

Just a little update. I transplanted her into a 5 gal pot on Monday, and since then, each day she has perk'd up a bit more.
From today

I'm thinking she'll be good in 2 days

id say rootbound in addition to underwatering/giving no pure water but look like you got it good luck. how old from seed are they?

I would say underwatered for sure. Whats the temperature at where you are? In your 5 gallon bucket is there holes in the bottom of bucket for run off? We are going to tell you to water it more then if there is no holes in the bucket for run off, it going to be to wet and lead to rootrot. Plus it helps with oxygen and all. Any way looks good tho and is going to be gigantic. Are you going to flower outside also and just bring it in and out of your house every 12 hours? Good luck

They were germ'd around the first of April (so approximately 2 months)

Right now the temps vary from around 55* (night) to 65-70* (day), this will increase to probably 60*(night)-75-80*(day).
Yup there are holes in the bottom. 5 or 6 holes per bucket.
Going to be flowering outside, just how mother nature intended!

I really don't know if I was underwatering or overwatering all this time, but since it appears to be recovering quite well in the 5 gal bucket, I'm not going to worry about it. I have been practicing the lift method so hopefully I will avoid this from happening again.

Thanks for everyone's help!

If a plant is droopy, looks like a depressed vegetable and isn't dry as a bone, then it's safe to assume that your plant is overwatered (as everyone else has said).

Perlite definitely helps, but overwatering is fortunately a very easy problem to fix. Good luck!
