Hey all, I took a tree back from my partner and his light sources is weak so the tree has deficiencies and I genuinely can’t figure out what’s going on. I’ll post a picture below but my tree has been drooping all week and it hasn’t been overwatered at all. Anytime she gets watered the water doesn’t even seep through the entire plant and doesn’t make it to the bottom. I’m becoming concerned because a few times a day it’ll droop for a few hours and then rise back up for a few hours??

What’s the humidity? Mine droop sometimes overnight with high RH (low transpiration rate so the leaves retain water and droop), then at lights on I drop RH slightly and the leaves perk up.

Something to consider, plants droop when they sleep.
Can you provide a plain light pic?

The humidity here is generally between 30-40% and even my small humidifier isn’t helping it so it’s not the moisture I’ve ruled that out

The thing is I’ve taken both pics during their regular light cycle before they can sleep and after they wake up so that’s why I’ve been so confused. The coco isn’t wet it’s normally dry and they droop.

Coco is always supposed to be wet that’s what makes it awesome I water 4 cups twice a day

If I’m remember correctly when coco drys out it can build up salt which can suck moisture out of the plant

Ok, it doesn’t look bad. What’s the ph of water going in and water coming out?
@PreyBird1 (and others) have dropped this VPD chart and it helped me immensely
For (late) veg growth your humidity 30-40% is likely too low, unless you’re running really cold temps. It could be too high of transpiration at that point and the leaves are drooping because they can’t retain enough water.

I let the coco dry down because the last time I watered her she started drooping so I wanted to dry out the coco to see if there was an issue of moldy roots but it’s unlikely

The temps run between 70-80° With humidity being extremely low and humidifier not working well enough. I try not to lock the air in but with the door completely closed it doesn’t allow any air pass and that’s the only way to raise the humidity slightly and temperature

Mine always droop a little after each watering but they perk back up shortly another issue could be she is starting to starve coco lacks nutes have to constantly add them if your humidity will also climb a bit if you keep the coco 90% wet my temps run about the same as yours just a bit higher sometimes and my humidity can go from 30% to 50 depending on temps you can also leave the runoff in the tent to evaporate just put the plant on a riser so it’s not sitting in it and will have to monitor the humidity closely if you do

Yeah she was perking back up too up until this last time! I got her back from my partner and although she’s a bit overdo for flowering—I wanted to wait a little bit to fix any issues that were caused at with my partner. I’ve been double feeding because the branches were so flimsy and thin but now she’s becoming heavy and is showing signs that she’s almost unable to hold the weight of the leaves because of how thin she was

Those leaves look pretty green, i wouldnt feed it too many nutes. Check to make sure it isnt over or under watering that is causing the issue. Unlike soil which can dry out and not be a huge deal, you dont want to let the coco dry out completely.

And freshly transplanted clones would want significantly more humidity than than that?

@PreyBird1 is a clone master so take his word, but yes clones need high RH. I believe he blasts them with over 70% RH to root out.

Yep 78% but not much higher.
