Can drooping be due to small pot?

they look like you've got a ph problem and underwatered/overwatered. I'd first check you ph, including your meter. Then i would probably pull them out of there pots and see what the soils like. Is it too damp in the bottom of your pot or is it too dry. If its too damp, put it on some paper towels till the bottom soaks up some of the water. If its too dry, your going to have to break up the root ball a little and replant and water. I'd probably take this time to replant anyway and put a nice fresh layer of clean soil on the bottom for the roots to grow into. Break up the bottom of it a little and replant. This will hopefully solve the watering problem. As for something to put on the bottom of the pots so the dirt doesn't just fall out. Just put a few pieces of newspaper and forget the hydrotron. I don't know if that is a problem or not but i've never used it and i've never had any problems with newspaper.

if the soil is that damp that mean not proper drainage. Drill more holes.

you got some strange shit going on here. leave that fan on the hole time the light is on. ditch the hydrotron shit and replant. what kind of soil is that. those nutes are a little strong i think and keep that ph between 5.5 and 6.5 thats a safe range.

something i have noticed is if you transplant to early into beigger pots and water them really well the root system may not be up to par there for allowing water to set a the bottom and cause rootdamage this i think is your problem.

well today is looking much better, still a slight droop but so much better. I want to keep em as mom's but in as small a pot as possible. Should I still transplant? I dont want issue's later on. especially in a month or so when its time for some new clones. Prob want to take a max of 10 clones at a time.

If all your taking is 10 cuttings at a time, I don't see the need for mother plants. Veg your plants a few extra days and take 10 cuttings off those just prior to putting them into flower. 10 cuttings isn't worth saving a mother plant for in my opinion.

I've already taken 12 cuttings off the 2. I want the mother for the next grow when I'll need more clones. Might not need them depending on whether I change strains, but have the space and its nice to have.

Mygirl - I think it was the fan, or maybe that the soil was dryer. I think my big problem was that in that soil mix I added a lot of clay balls (excuse the incompetence). But I have transplanted into bigger pots right now. Soil mix was bout 40% perlite, 60% soil, and a half tablespoon lime. Lets see how they do.

Thanks for the help. By the by, do u have any SOG experience?

So here they are 18hrs after the transplant....

Much improvement.

Mygirl - just want to thank you for your input and advice.

One more unrelated q - one of em is def female showing pistals. The other has these cone shaped thingy's. Doesn't look like a ball, is more cone shaped, but has no pistals comin out of the tip yet. Does this mean its male, or could pistals still develop? The cones just appeared yesterday.
