wilting

someone wanna tell me if i over watered the ladies today? i went in my tent today and my soil was BONE DRY so i gave both ladies their usual amounts of water.. (2 gallons each) and during watering i noticed my whole canopy is wilting im not really sure what could be the cause of this. im on top of their asses for bugs EVERY DAY and i havent seen a sign of anything. i did recently install another inline fan to draw the air out of the tent and its working wonders for my humidty. before the fan it was around 92rh and now its in the 50's. but back to my original question... WHY ARE THEY DROOOPING LIKE THAT??? as you can see in my last post they were nice and perky but now they look depressed

here are some more pictures

Looks to me that they are under watered. You should never have dry soil, You don't drown them, but keep the soil moist. A large plant can drink a lot of water, so I regularly water every 3 day, and have never had a problem, as long as drainage is good

Even when the pots are bone dry that is no reason to water imo.
Bone dry is when the plants wilt from no to little water and that
is when the plants should be watered to avoid
overwatering. Yours look overwatered to me.
When underwatered the stems droop as well as the leaves
and is not the case in your pics imo.

i just got done battling humidty issues and that was causing my soil to stay wet for days on end so i couldnt water it without overwatering, i recently installed an extraction fan to control my humidity temps and this was the first time iv watered since

this was the first time iv watered them in easily 5 days because of my humidity issues and my soil staying wet for so long, literally soaked

That is a classic over-watered look. Which can also mean that you watered them just fine but have too much clay in your soil mix. If so, you have some nice upside by improving your soil for next grow.

Even 5 day may have been too soon. Don't
go by days instead go with what the plant tells you.
If the plants stems where not drooped when watered then
there should lie your problem. Overwatered imo.

I agree with the overwatering. I like to do the weight test. I pick up a couple pots and once they feel fairly light I give them water. Usually works out to be about every 3 days for me. Best way to learn the difference is since u just watered, pick up a few pots every day for the next couple days. You will fell it be a little lighter every day then after about 3 or so days you will pick it up and it will feel light. That's when you want to water. Want to also make sure you use soil that has good drainage. I use 707, its great soil.
