guys, my plant is in the second week of flowering, on sunday I showered her with banana tea and also put egg and banana extract, and the leaves began to bend down, not all, only smaller, it was caused by overfeeding or overwater?! I don't know what to do, I must watering again or wait?! 5 days and it's all the same...

Just at a glance I would guess it is not overfertilization. That plant looks like it's getting what it needs but not too much.

Overwatering is a possibility but if that's the case it is mild. I never water indoor until the media is nice and dry, so if you just watered don't compound any problem you might have by watering too much. Let the media dry down and then water/fertilize...just not too heavily.

Where my mind goes is the spray applications of egg and banana extracts. How often are you doing this and at what concentrations? Are you periodically rinsing the plants with clean water to get rid of the excess materials? Stomata can be limited in their efficacy pretty easily via foliar feeding without rinsing, limiting uptake of CO2 and therefore rate of growth.

In my honest opinion I would ditch foliar feeding and reinvest those funds in other aspects of your grow room that are more likely to give you more and bigger/better plants.

So to summarize: wait for the soil to dry down thoroughly (not to the point of wilting though), apply water and fertilizer at that point, and also thoroughly rinse off the leaves, especially on the bottom (abaxial) surface.

Overall it's a great looking plant and you're more worried than you need be.
