Whenever the sun starts setting and it turns night my plants leaves droop. During the day they are nice and up and moving towards the sun but when the sun goes down they droop. The bigger plants with the bigger leaves droop more than the smaller ones. It also seems to happen more the day that I watered. If I water in the morning, that same night it will be more droopy than normal but regardless of if I watered or not they still droop. I use 1 gallon to water 4 plants. So each plant gets 1/4 gallon of watering every 3-4 days. They are in 3 gallon pots so I dont think im overwatering. Is this normal for plants to droop at night or is there something wrong?
I use a beneficial microbe brew from earthworm castings and so forth.
I stopped using it briefly out of laziness and shortly thereafter i noticed droopage at night...i put up with it...then i had one start doing it during the day a little bit and that stirred my energies enough to brew up another batch and sure as chutes they sprung back to life at night within a couple days...
This is in DWC so you get a zone thats like a petri dish for bad microbes and i imagine this would be true - to a degree - in soil as well.
Either way, i would imagine theres a fungus in the roots or maybe even gnats chowing on fungus thats chowing on roots.
Microbe tea WILL eliminate those possibilities and do a lot of other good in the process.
Im sure your question is long since answered, but incase someone else is looking into this situation of nocturnal flaccidity...wormpoo tea is a very likely fix.
Also!! Dont believe that its not a problem...a lot of people have posted that they are of the opinion that its perfectly normal and while it may be usual for them, its not the posture of a perfectly healthy plant. It dosent look healthy as soon as you see it...because its not...even if they perk back up during the day.
