Over watering?

DEWEY1 · Aug 8, 2019

Does this look to be a symptom of overwatering. Plant is in a 30-gallon smart pot and I'm watering every morning cuz temperatures are in the upper 90s. I have three other plants that are in 30 and 40 gallon smart pots and they don't seem to be doing this. So maybe it's just the strain? A little more finicky? Plant just finished stretching and is starting to flower. It seems as though if I wait a day and a half to water it starts to droop from lack of water so I'm not too sure what the problem is. Smart pot is filled with Happy Frog soil and added perlite for drainage

I'm not sure what is the issue with that plant, but i did want to comment on the size of those pots. they seem awfully large, unless you're growing massive trees. I still have a lot to learn myself so i usually dont give advice on here. but i would try smaller smart pots on the next grow,...that is, unless you are growing massive massive plants. maybe the issue has something to do with a poor root structure?

Thanks for your reply but I'm outdoors in the plants are about 6 ft tall and 3 feet wide so they are somewhat trees. Pretty sure it's not the container being too big I think they're too small but thanks for the response I'm still learning as well

What media are you in, e.c, p.h, r.h?

Is your plant sat flat on the floor or raised?

I'm really not sure what my pH is outdoors I water with tap water I've never really checked the pH. I have four plants in total and the one to looks funny compared to the other three. And I'm in smart pots on top of Stepping Stones

Let em dry up some, top soil up to the first knuckle deep dry, then water again.

Try this first and get on to just a simple p.h tester and see if you can find out the quality of you local water

yes stems pointing up with leaves pointing downs normally means overwatered or the plant is trying to sleep still
i dont agree with needing to ph for outdoor plants grown in proper soil. i don't use the product but ive read countless posts with people having problems with Happy Frog soil. next you'll probably say you use synthetic nutrients

Wow those are huge, awesome. I wait to water my plants until the tops and tips start to wilt over. I have some in 5 gallon pots so i'm able to lift them, and they appear bone dry when they start wilting over.

Hey thanks I appreciate that. They got a little bigger than I wanted to this year but I guess that's a good thing!

I've been using the same water for a few years now and never had this problem. They all look healthy besides a few of the upper leaves looking like they're sleeping still. I should test the ph just to see where I'm at though.

I tried that but then it all drooped and perked right up after watering

Yeah it's almost like some of it's still asleep. Yeah I thought maybe it could be the soil to but the other three aren't doing it and they're all in the same soil. I'm using Max seabloom molasses and epsom salt for fertilizer

She just finished stretching she looks really good other than that. Hopefully it's just a phase switching from veg to flower, I don't know I guess we'll see what happens. I'll let you guys know how it plays out.

Do not even worry about pH in soil. Suggest cultivating and aerating your medium. Really get into it. Use something long and thin and pierce the hell out of it. All the way to the bottom and this is important! Especially do this under the plant through all that hardened mass. Your daily watering is likely suffocating the higher roots.

Thanks hotrod. It won't damage the roots stabbing them? What do u suggest I use to areate them? Never thought about doing that but saw a thread not to long ago about that.
