Droopy plant for several days, pics, big +rep for help

[valuablevariable]

I have a white widow that has been drooping for several days. Its been doing this a day before and several after being watered and the soil isnt soaked. What could the problem be? I have a second WW next to it that is doing fine.

It hasnt changed for about 5 or 6 days. Thanks for any help.

Do you have enough ventilation? If it is not being overwatered, which by the way that is what it looks like to me, it could be not enough fresh air.

Drooping is usually:

Over water... Thick leaves but droopy...

Underwater... Leaves will feel a lil light and droop...

Ventilation is a new one for me cuz i usually have good vent and or fans blowing on them...

i know about watering and right now its about to need some water again so its not overwatering and since its been like this even 2 days after watering its not overwatering. Fresh air is also new to me as a possible factor. However i havnt changed the setup and the previous plants didnt mind.

How deep is the soil, could possibly be a restriction on root growth.

Are you sure? Cause my plant is in week 6 of flowering and is about 2 1/2 ft tall with LST, and they usually don't require watering every 2 to 3 days. I always wait at least 3 to 4 days before sticking my finger in there to check. If you don't have a moisture meter you can insert your index finger all the way until your knuckle, on most people about 4-5 inches. If you feel a good amount of wetness at the tip you should let them dry out for another day or so. Not trying to underestimate you or anything but just trying to pinpoint your problem. I believe it is with watering or air circulation.

I can see why you are asking about the watering, it does look like a water issue, however lets rule this out. It was drooping before i watered it, the soil was very dry, then i watered, it was still droopy an hour later, now 3 days later the soil is ready to be watered again and it never stoped drooping.
Could humidity be the problem?

Hard to say. What is your humidity at? Lets be fair then and call this a "moisture" or "water related" issue. We are getting very close!

No changes, what could i possibly try out? Was also repotted, it was already droopy beofre this, so it has enough root space

may I suggest a lightly spiked Viagra solution....j/k...sorry....it looks like overwatering....but I understand that you do not believe this to be so......not sure what else to suggest?

This is a long shot, but have you tried rearranging your plants so the droopy one is in a different location under the lights?

 

[valuablevariable]

i have and before it started drooping it was even in a different little setup. The one its in now is bigger and better.

ok this is how i see if the plant has enough water or not....simply pick up the pot and see how heavy it is....the lighter then its underwatered....if really heavy then too much obviously. Also what is your soil mix?? i have half perlite and half hyponix soil and it seperates so i have to mix the top soil everyday...that might be it but he's right...humidity might be a factor but keep asking around bro and good luck

Thanks for trying to help but i always wonder how people find year old threads and dont notice it. That plants long done and smoked

 

[oldchronic]

looks like over watering but it could also be damp off whitch affect the plant below the dirt line .maybe water water with dampoff

 

[Kludge]

I think the problem is the plant is too old. Like you said, it's over a year old and two people haven't even noticed...
