Here's my happy girl, taken over a week ago. I have used Smart Pots for several years, and the bottom of your pot is designed to breath with the soil below. If you leave her on concrete, not only does the heat penetrate the bottom and cause premature evaporation, the sealing affect doesn't allow for a more natural root flow of the pot. If you leave your pot sitting on the ground, the roots will literally grow right into the soil, through the bottom. My good friend, who is growing over 30 plants in 50 gallon Smart Pots, makes sure that the bottom of his pots breath well. Peace.

onl reason I have not put on the dirt is cuz I heard there are problems with putting smart pots on the soil as it doesn't dry out and can cause root rot and I don't want that plus I'm trying to keep away from the powder mildew all over my back yard trying to find a.way to combat it before it hits my girls but that's a beautiful girl and my buddies plant is about 2 feet taller then mine but mine has more growth but his has no signs of droop

dyna gro protekt mixed with neem oil works from what I have been told.

Your buddies plants may have been watered more often(keeping rootball smaller) or his plants just may not be rootbound like that one.. The concrete heating up roots will definitely cause leaf drop in my experience though. I grow on concrete too. But I have a frame keeping the pots of the ground. They seem to do alot better like this.

is that for the powder mildew?
And my buddies pots are pretty solid.

Just tossing it this out.. What about a cheap walmart fan to keep the air moving in the night-morning, set it on a timer.. for the PM.. never tried it but it just came to mind..

So I don't know if there is any truth to this, I've never had pm but... my cousins old man who grows and manages a delivery service in SLO said pm is systemic and that you can get rid of it by upping your N. It can't hurt to try... The fan would also help.

@Urhighness88 Yeah, that is for Pm. And it will help kill/deter mites and other pests.

I keep a fan in one of my greenhouses for airflower because it has alot of windbreaks surrounding it.

My fans run for over a year. I clean them when they get dusty. The humidity here is much of a problem until the tule fog hits. A quality fan lasts a long time.

You don't know moisture till you have been in Florida, Alabama, any where in the South East in summer. I have walked out of a hotel room in Florida in the summer and my sunglasses fog up and my skin beads up with sweat in 5 min. from the humidity ;-)
