Awoke to a Drought

HazednConfused said:

I ran out of distilled water yesterday and didn't want to run to the store. I felt about an inch deep into the soil last night and felt damp/coolness, so I figured my plant would be fine over night until I was able to get it the 6.5 ph water it's used to. I used tap water for my last grow and swore to myself that I will not use one drop of tap for my current grow. So I woke up this morning to a weeping willow strain! Day 36 of flowering, and 73 overall. I jammed to the store for some ph water immediately, got back and watered my withering girl. Forty-five mins later, she woke back up. I don't think it was too stressful to my plant because it did bounce back so quickly. Are there any benefits or negative effects on the plant caused by events like this during flowering? Thanks

I think my plant wants a bigger pot because I water this bitch every other day, and I completely drench the coco when I water it too. Is this normal to have a plant of my size, 26" tall, use up all the water in a 3 gallon pot within 2 days and droop like this?

I never said anything was wrong with tap water, especially mine. I drink it on a daily basis. I said I decided not to use it this time around as it is high on ph. I was not concerned with the ph of my last grow. I felt that ph couldn't make that big of a difference in your plants health and production, thinking that growers got all scientific with ph testing for no reason. But, my last grow bombed, so I tested the ph of my tap water this time around and sure enough it's too high. I rather buy some gallons of distlled than use additives. The distillery could be super gross and I bet my plant would know none the better. I've never tasted the distilled water so I can't give you a rating on taste.

You using lights at night or something? I think you were just high and thought cold was wet lol, try lifting the pot next time you see droop and get a feel for the weight when its time to water

you may wanna look at other factors in you're grow that may be adding some issues but ph in soil would not be one of those factors unless u are pumping a ph of 9-10 in it u are fine and if ur ph is that high contact the local council
