is it bad to water after leaves wilt a bit?

[The Lorax]

hey guys i havent watered my plants in a few days and i checked on them and they were very wilted, is this real bad? i heard it was good to let them get dry but not too dry. im 100 percent sure they will perk back up but will this be bad for them?

They'll be fine, it's normal, called abscission.

i think it may be better to let them get dry, but not to the point of wilting. dont make this a regular part of their week, and they'll be fine dont want to stress em

and props to canadianknights on knowing the real word

They should be fine, just don't let them wilt too much before watering - that can be stressful.

got pics? it shouldnt hurt it at all really imo

 

[The Lorax]

nope i didnt take pictures, but im gonna check on them tomoro to see how they are doing. 1 plants has spider mites pretty bad and its my grape ape too i can see the webs and everything. i just hope the mites dont get too out of control with just 3 more weeks to go and spread to other plants. i have been spraying them with neem oil all the time i hope i didnt spray them too much with neem oil.

man, where the fuck you been? we've missed you. lol.
original poster-if the neem oil isnt working maybe you should try something else, and are you sure they havent spread yet? without some preventive measures i cant imagine the little bastards not. at least in my experience

Get some ladybugs for your spidermite infestation.

 

[Dirtyboy]

You should water them 1 day before they wilt

man, where the fuck you been? we've missed you. lol.

im sure they havent spread to any others, i had to remove the grape ape today it was just getting to be too infested. any ideas on what i should do with it? i was going to take it to a friends house and grow it there outside

 

[darkdestruction420]

you need to get them under control (preferably completely gone) before harvest, you dont want to smoke a bunch of spidermites.....do ya? lol

 

[The Lorax]

i tried to get them under control with einstein oil when there was just a few but it didnt work and they have multiplied so i removed it....its gone from the garden. now i need to know wat i should do with it. and lady bugs arent in season to the guy who said get them
