Droopy after watering?

So 3 white widow, 5 gallon buckets.
Everytime I water them 1 plant starts to droop within a minute of being watered. Like as soon as the water starts pouring into the soil. And then it droops for about 2-3 hours and returns back to normal. Does anyone have any idea why that might be?
The other 2 dont do it.

Just a guess. Maby the ph of your water/solution is far off and it takes the soil a lily bit to buffer to acceptable range??

Nope, I ph adjust it to 6.5 everytime, and it comes out at 6.5 also
And it's just the one plant. It's weird man.
Literally as soon as I start watering it, it starts to droop, and then over the next 2-3 hours the leafs lift themselves back to normal

I have 4 WW right now in an organic run, and they also droop a bit shortly after watering and perk back up. I get that ever since I went to soil. I let the top couple inches of my soil dry completely before watering, so I think it's just a temporary shock to their system. As long as they recover quickly and show no other issues, I don't worry about it and likely either should you.

Hmm you might be right. The dryer my soil is when I water, the more the plant droops.
Next time I'll try watering a little bit sooner and see how it reacts.
But yeah, I dont really think it's anything serious to worry about, I was more curious than anything.
How far along are your ww?

The seeds I got were suppose to be "white cookies" cross between ww and girl scout cookies, but the package said white widow, so I'm not really sure tbh haha.
But it definitely appears to be good genetics. They've all been thriving from day 1. Finally starting to get some real bud structure growing 2 weeks into flowering. Lots of pistils

All about 8in-13in above scrog board. I think it's going to turn out nicely.
I should have went with a higher quality carbon filter, I came home today and as soon as I walked in the door.. woahhhh

I'm on 2 weeks from 12/12 tomorrow. No issues, except my own laziness about training/defoliating. I kinda like that cute stage where my plants have a cotton puff on all the tops. Lol

Yummy! I vent my air outside without a filter so I can only smell my plants when I open my tent and stick my head inside. Amazing that WW start smelling so much in only the end of week 2. It's not a nice smell though... smells kinda "funny" at that stage.

Oh nice so your right about where I am. And I was hoping on venting to outside also, but the room they are in is right in the front of the house and I figured it wouldn't look too good having a vent sticking out the window lol.
And yeah I was under the impression that WW was a lower smell strain but man these are definitely smelly. They actually started getting bad before I even flipped to flower, and now its just insane. 4 weeks into veg they were smelling way more potent than my last plant right before harvest! That's true though, theres like a little hint of good nice skunk but it's mostly like a sour planty kinda smell

Just ordered another light so hopefully I'll have a 3rd in there by Monday.
Each 300watt led.
Considering switching to quantum boards, or maybe hps next time, not quite sure. I dont really feel like messing with cool tubes and all that, and the quantums are just so expensive. But I definitely want to try out some other lighting systems.
This is my first indoor grow. Other ones prior were just kinda throw a seed in a pot and let it grow type of thing

Could be a PH fluctuation although thats more like a curving down,
or lack of oxyagen possibly?

What kind of media are you using? Are they all the same strain and media?
