No. Sorry. Not without a picture.
Does anyone else know if too much nutrients can cause drooping? I’ve looked online and only seen where over watering causing it but my nutrition a little too high so. Trying to save my mother plant

I’d say no. What copies are the leaves. Too much water causes dripping. Also too little.
Is there any way to tell if it’s still alive? I’m trying to save her. Would it be possible to save over or underwater plant in rockwool cube? I tore a leaf off and there’s water in the leaf stem
Leaves are green lite green in some places

if your plant is underwatered you can usually water it turn your lights off or dim them or move your plant too a place were it gets little light and over time the leaves will regain theyre life aka stop drooping but if its overwatered it can take super long to recover. please give pictures.
How long to recover if overwatered. She’s in a 4x4 rockwool cube. Her leaves would be crunchy here soon if she’s dead right?
Re read what I wrote. I I asked if too much nutrients can cause drooping

A “mother plant” in a 4x4 cube implies that it’s relatively large, compared to media size. A healthy 12+” plant in a 4x4 should require multiple waterings per day. If not, it’s small, or unhealthy.
drooping leaves = too much water
drooping stems and branches = not enough water
too high nutrients does not cause drooping as a rule.
good luck …
edit to add, if you are really trying to keep mothers long-term you need to rethink the 4”cubes, IMO

Thank you wish I heard from you earlier. I couldn’t tell if she had been over watered or underwatered. She’s gone unfortunately. But I have several clones from her. She was grown from seed. The clones would be just as good as her right? Very frustrating losing her. I tried to save her but believe she was already dead

Clones should be fine.
one challenge with rockwool is the plant will happily live without issue until it sucks the rockwool completely dry. Instead of telling you “hey, it’s getting a little dry here”, the plant will literally crash due to lack of moisture and the sudden root damage will usually cause death. Forgiving like soil, it ain’t.
If you want to keep moms long term, considering putting your blocks onto a UniSlab, or at least upsize to a Hugo. The added moisture reserves makes things much easier.

It would probably be easier to keep a mother plant in soil, just my take on it.
I’ve tried soil. Kept one for years in soil. But for some reason I end up over watering them easily in soil and killing them
