Lets see if she needs a drink here...pour 1 gallon of juice on her and she should stand up in the next hour.Lots of heat means lots of water,not too much.

I think the roots aren't getting any oxygen....


The first inch is dry

But under that soaked and compact


You really believe it needs to be watered?

Only one way to find out. If it is overwatered then you have a serious soil structure issue that you need to correct for your next grow.

Ideally you'd like the soil to dry evenly. Sounds like you might need bigger or more drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. If the water can't pass through fresh oxygen can't be drawn in to the soil. Either one can yield wilted leaves. But you can drown a plant if no air gets to the roots.

I drilled tons of holes in the bottom and sides...


Nothing got better...


I had super high hopes for this plant !!!


Could drilling the holes in the bottom have torn roots and fucked it up even more

Well yes that's possible. The holes need to be in the pots before the plants. If you really have enough holes then that leaves one thing. Your soil needs to drain better. Unfortunately you can't fix that now. I use pro mix and cut it in half with perlite. That increases the drainage which in turn increases the airation of the soil. It also helps it dry out evenly.

Thought of that to be an issue as well

But I have 3 other plants in the same soil right next to it
only difference is the size of the pots

I'm using the vermi soil potting soil

Supposed to drain well...

Maybe you should just try watering it. When my plants look wilted, I find that watering helps.

Bro I watered yesterday...

The pot is still heavy as hell
And still the soil is wet

I am new to this, but I'm fairly certain,
Wilting can be caused by something other than underwatering

When I've had plant wilt from underwatering

They act a little different wilt with no life left in the leaves very floppy

This is the oppiste
Leaves are sagging but feel kinda hard and stiff

my plants often go like this if I forget to give them epson salt in the first week of flower.
Its mag deficiency, just add some in your next water (1 tsp per gal)

and think your plant has thrips or spidermite
