- I have an issue that i will attempt to describe. Plants is 4'tall, is flowering for 3 weeks now. B/C we were expecting an entire week of no sun i decided to get a few lights, (2)2700K and bring it inside( 4days) and continue my 12/12. I included a fan and the temp was a nice cool inside 78ish A/C temp.( i live in Fl, it's end of june) On day 4 she started to wilt a bit and I thought I either over watered or she needed more light. SO i brought back into the direct sunlight outside and to my horror she wilted even worse almost instantly. Also I had just started the molasses watering a week earlier with great results. rather than risk any further damage I took the plant over to her spot in the garage and parked it for the night. In the Am she was PERFECT once again and back to normal. A few hrs later she was all drooped over and wilted once again. A lot of yellow leaves and now the leaves are super limp and cupping/rolling inwards. The soil is moist but not wet, no water today, and was wondering if tomorrow she is again doing great what should i do. leave her in the shade or do I need to finish the process inside, or let her adjust to the hot temps over the next few days. I have no special tools..just my eye and a green thumb. I have 2 others that i just left outside during the same time frame and they are just fine with the same watering schedule & molasses mix( 1TBSP/Gal). Thanks !
Help she is drooping

Whats the size of the pot and the plant?.. Im just wondering maybe its rootbound..
New here so I posted pics but they did not show up on your side, either way they are below. Like i mentioned she was PERFECT after a nights rest outside(in garage), like before, but after a few hrs in the morning sun/ heat it wilted again. No water today as soil was moist and I suspect it may be over watering or too much molasses mix( 1TBSP/gal) . Gave plant about 1/2 gal gallon, and others on same regiment doing just fine but never moved inside to cooler temps.

I wouldnt water her... it could be overwatering to.. im not sure though this is pecuilar.. Give her another day or so see if she picks back up.. Do you have a good calcium magnesium mix in your regiment?.. That stuff can work wonders for sickly plants.. Other than that i dont really know.. 5 gallon looks like itd be enough though.. Do you use tap water to water?.. Is hard/soft water?

It's a watering issue here. You're not ensuring that the roots at the bottom of the pot are getting wet. The soil has prob contracted and the water has just fallen down the side. Cultivate the top soil to the edges of the pot. Water thoroughly this time, even if it feels a bit heavy, I suspect that is just the top half of the wet soil. WAter slowly for a good run and then leave to dry out b4 u water again.

^^^^^what he is saying is spot on we have a watering issue here, you need to water slowley (no dry patches) a plant that size will be drinking over a litre daily get to know how heavy yer pot is after watering , so you can learn when to water ,,BTW whats your PH and drianage like? the plant looks stressed oot m8 .. i had the same issue wae ma sativa and it was because of not letting it dry out before i watered again could it be that? good luck m8
