Just water till there's a bit of run off
In flowering mine drink 1-2 gallons per day with only slight run off per feeding.
Leaves drooping 2 days after water

I guess I'm having a hard time comprehending lol. People are saying they water a lot more then I do, some people 4 times a day an others 3 gallons every 2-3 days, I'm Being told the plants are overwatered...so just to clarify I watered with 2 gallon on Tuesday and the plants wilted 12 hours after watering and have yet to recover. The pots are not as dry as I've had them in the past but they are not soaked, just slightly heavy. Sorry for not really understanding but some people went off on what they do which has kind of confused me now.

I think you need to water more often, and do so with room temp water, like baby water warm

So coco should stay moist?

Looking back at your pictures i think you may also benefit from getting the pots raised up out of the pans also, mine seem to prefer to be elevated above a catch pan to get as much air to the smart pots as possible from all sides, even the bottoms
Edit: i use those cheap plastic stack shelves with holes in the shelves (utility room type)

Ok I'll try to figure something to raise them up. I have 4 1150w gavitas over them so I can't get them too close too the lights

@ op
And holy ballz I just realized you're in 15 gallon pots lol. That's new territory for me with coco. Normally I run 3 or 5 gallon smartpots with coco. Your setup might take some experimentation to find the right amount of water m8.

With 15 gal pots it should need less frequent watering than what we were talking about. imo just water it and see if it fixed the drooping.
I use a pump and drip rings for watering on a digi timer. I'm a lazy mofo and it's less work than res changes and res temp control.
