What's wrong with my plant?

My plant is always wilted! When I water it it doesn't perk up, what gives?
I water every 2 days, and give it a compost tea every other watering.

Also, if you see any deficiencies let me know...

There is something fundamentally wrong, almost like you transplanted into pure clay. That wilt indicates water is not transporting correctly. You might have a nitrogen deficiency beginning but I think you have to figure the wilt issue first. More details on your soil, water source and feeding schedule needed.

Your plant is drowning.

The reason your plants droop is because basically their roots are starving for oxygen.

Overwatered Marijuana Plants

  • Drooping / Curling is the first sign of overwaterd marijuana plants
  • Leaves are firm and curled down all the way from the stem to the leaf
  • Will eventually lead to leaf yellowing and other signs of nutrient problems if not corrected
Does your pot even have enough runoff holes?

If i were you I would get another bucket drill the holes and do an emergency transplant stat! Dont even wait another day do it right now.If it helps lay the bucket on its side and push your knee on the sides of it to loosen the roots so you can pull it out gently.

Thx for the replies guys. You guys were right! I thought 17 holes was enough, but nope. I just drilled more holes in it and it's already perking up slowly.
Here I was thinking it was thirsty and kept giving it water. smh... lesson learned!

I drilled a lot of holes, don't know the exact amount. The roots were brown. The root ball is still wet, should i still water it?

if its wet then no you might be screwed did you try breaking up the root ball a bit. brown roots are a sign of root rot.

your not looking at that moisture meter are you? is that why you think its wet? what if your meter is junk? did you dig in the soil to see if its wet or are you just looking at the meter?

I stuck my finger in the soil. Yeah, that meter is crap. It always says wet even when it's dry. No I didn't try breaking up the rootball, I didn't want to rip more roots.Should i take it out again and break it up?

if its dry get water on it first and let it perk back up. pick it up and feel how heavy it is then water it real good with about a gallon. and feel how heavy it is after this way you know about when its dry. or just use the finger test.

if you try breaking up the root ball dont destroy it just make sure the roots arent circling the pot.scroll up just under your name at the top of the screen you will see a search bar if your not sure punch in some key words and it will bring up some repotting
