how to help the drooping of the plants....

i set a thread a few days ago under a different name, my plants looked like picture one and 2 the day before flowering,the next 2 are the 2 days later(today), the bottom of one seems droopy and the other one looks all droopy, people were telling me that i've been over watering them, so i didn't water them for 1.5 - 2 days(until today), i'm guessing they were too use to the watering and then didn't get any water for a while and also got less light(flowering), and that's the reason? maybe? yes? no?

Is the soil dry to the touch when you push down a couple of inches? If it is, then it may be time to water. See, the problem is, underwatering pretty much presents just like overwatering. One is easily corrected, the other, not so much.

If no one asked about heat, you might want to consider that as well.

more heat or less?...i watered them and they turned out to look alot better than before, but the bottom few leafs(ones that were really droopy) are faded in color, are those leafs going to regain color sooner or later?

Too much heat is a problem, just as too cold is. But, you're growing indoors and I assume you're in the northern hemisphere where it's summer, so heat would be the problem. If they perked up after watering, then it seems you've solved the problem, that's a good thing. I can't say if the leaves will come back, how long after watering was that pic taken?

In the first pic, I see slight longitudinal (lengthwise) canoing, that's usually a sign that it's a bit too hot for the plant. Keep roots cool, plant can deal. Let 'em warm up, watch things shut down. It's something I'm still battling (I should take a ride down to Lowe's or something and get some mulch, I've been meaning to mulch the pots).

Ok, the slight yellowing may be a good indication that it needs a little nitrogen. Are you feeding, or is it in a soil like Miracle Gro that's supposed to feed the plant for a few months?

Yes, you should remove the bottom leaves, they don't get enough light to make them efficient for growth. Take out all the ratty little leaves and growth all inside the bottom and up a few inches. The plant will no longer have to support growth that can't provide any energy in return, and the desirable growth will benefit.

just regular already flower food in the soil, with some bat guano.

so take off the faded color leafs? it's been 24 hours between pictures and watering. cut the faded color leafs off and the small little leafs off at the base of the stem with a utility blade?
