Leaves drooping after watering/feeding

Everytime I water/feed, all my leaves droop. It doesnt seem to harm the plant in any way but I was just wondering if this was bad? It goes away in about 24 hours. Maybe its my water temp? Any advice would be awesome.

What do you mean your leaves drop? Like they turn yellow and they rip off or what? Or they just drop while they full green?! What do you mean it doesn't harm the plant. The plant needs the leaves for nutrients processing also light and CO2. It harms the plant in any way. Sounds like your plant is dead....

lol he said droop, yes water temp can be an issue as it can cause a stress, are you in soil? are you letting them dry out fully before watering

A certain level of droopiness is normal when watering however, I've noticed when I use "barky" dirt like Happy Frog, it seems to wilt a little more than when I water plants in something like promix and the only thing I can chalk it up to is the coarseness of the media and the roots maybe rubbing against it -- try watering a little slower maybe? That's all I got.
 
Dont worry about leaves dropping off, you can use them for mulch, right!?
Seriously though, it sounds like possibly overwatering. Just be sure to let the medium dry before you water again. Put your finger in up to the second knuckle and see if you feel coolness from moisture.

Tis completely normal and actually a good thing, has to do with water temp vs root zone temp and PH and is nothing to worry about
