I just cannot seem to make my plant find consistency.. i have never had a problem with overwatering or underwatering, during daylight she droops even though soil had moisture, i noticed i also have a small mite problem underneath the leaves. To me it just seems like the genetics are just not to my liking, never had i had stucture problems as well over all unhappy plant. Shes in a 7 gallon fabric pot, strain is chocolope by ilgm.com spacing on the nodes is extremely tight also.

Not sure what you are seeing ... it looks rather nice. Heavy Indy, Bush structure .... what’s not to like ?
Plant droops upon putting it in some sunlight, very droppy look, leaves give that wilting look from soil being too dry... yet soil moisture is perfectly suitable down my knuckle... a couple larger older fan leave are slightly fading yet ive added enough N to my mic to keep her nice n happy. The main thing for me is the plant always just seems to have a unhappy droppy look and leaves look very wilted

You should have posted pics of it drooping but plants droop or pray at different times for various reasons.

I sure don't see anything wrong in those pics.

:peace:
Ill take a couple when it shows symptoms, heres the plant as is in front of me at the moment, the current state of the plant is perfectly fine with me.. just other instances indicates some sort of underlying issues.

Hi John,

Agree with everyone above, plant looks good.

There are a few things I'm aware of, which can cause plants to droop, but not necessarily applicable here.
A. Indoor plants need to harden off, if going from inside to outside.
B. High ec at the root zone, from excessive fertilizer use.
C. Root rot.

Is it drooping when the soil is dryer, or wetter?
Is there a pattern or trend?
For instance, you give it water + nutrient in the morning, then by the end of the day it's droopy.

Basically something's likely having an effect on plant osmosis. Something is theoretically restricting the flow of fluid, from the roots up through the plant.
Most common causes are excessive amounts of fertilizer and root rot.
Is it possible you're over doing the fertilizer? If only slightly.
I'd probably give it some plain water with some runoff, the next couple times and see if it stops.

Hope it helps. Whatever it be, I don't believe it's of much concern.

Also you shouldn’t expect it to “ pray “ to light. Indica leaves are heavy and look like bush leaves and will “ droop “ ... just like a lot of plants . Mine has hand sized leaves that droop but as long as it looks healthy and green , i don’t overthink it.
