watering problem-drooping leaves

[Edo]

Hi,

always after I water my plants the immediately droop but they perk up after 3-4 hours.

It does not matter if I use little or much water, tap or distilled water, they always droop.

I use 1 gallon pots and the plants are about 11 inch and even if I use 40ml water they droop. I do have a little bit to much N (eagle claws)

My soil consists of
40 % peat
40 % WC (next time I go with 20%)
20 % pumice

At the moment I have no idea what to do. Please help me to solve that problem

In peat I watering once every 3 days. This is in 4 gal pots. Temp is around 26-28 C°. Rh is 60-70%. 600 w hps. Plants is really big and I like to wait little dropping before watering after watering they perk. Hope this help.

Pumice holds water and little air. Use perlite in your next mix. Good luck. -granger

Certain strains I grow droop after I water too. While other strains in the same tent, treated exactly the same, do not droop at all. As soon as they start flowering real hard, the after water droop always goes away and then they never droop.

Just tellin ya my exp in my setup. Not saying you still could be overwatering.... I thought for a while the after water droop would cut down on yeild but I just harvested a RP Sour Kush that did it and got over 7oz off of the one plant.

The last time I watered my plants they all drooped.

I think in my case it's because I didn't let the water get
to ambient temperature long enough. I'll have to make sure
the water is ready the night before from now on.

I always let my water sit out for a day. Usually the water temp is around 68F. Corky, post back after your next watering when the temp is good and let us know if you still get the droops. Would be interesting to see if water temp might be causing the droop.

I'm watering Kerala Sativas which come from India and I don't think they like cool temps
at all. On the other hand, I know they can handle warm and humid weather more than I
could.

A week in India and I would be hiding a pool of water somewhere with lots of ice cream, and lots cold beer.

Try watering from the other spectrum for a few days or a week. Try keeping them on the thirsty side. Water temp has never been an issue unless it's really cold... My plants love cold water. Unless I've just not ever had a plant that picky. Whatever works. Sounds to me like you have them treading water OP.

I've also never grown anything but reg hybrids so I can imagine tropical plants having special considerations. Something I'll be thinking of for sure, I'm probably going the pure sativa way myself soon.
