Ok let start with 3 different strains , 2 are fine showing no symptoms of anything but the third is just droopy and i'm pretty sure that i know whats causing the problem but wanna confirm.

I have this purple diesel that's always droopy the 3rd day just started flower a few days ago but this has been going on about the last 2 wks. I'm pretty sure she's thirstier than the other 2 and needs to be watered ? I'm growing in 3 gal pots the whole grow at least the rest of it and I've never grown in 3 gal before at finish usually 5 or 7 gal. So i'm pretty sure its under watering because when i was in bigger pots didnt have to water every 2 or 3 days more like every 4-6? Anyone else agree or disagree ?

In 5-7 gallons ive never water 4-6 days apart. In 3s its almost always every other day with a half gallon. Id suggest you up your frequency and make sure the water isnt just flowing to the bottom of your pots.

Every set up is different for everyone but if the water was just flowing through the pot to the bottom it would be just a continous flush and my plants would be showing signs of sum sorta deficiency which they are not just lil droopy on 1. Posting pics below u can take a look but they are pretty healthy?

They look great to me. But if your watering 6 days apart ever for a 5-7 gallon something isnt right. But the one on the far righr appears over watered which makes me assume water is pooling in the bottom.

doubt pooling in bottom got more holes than know what to do with ha ha, might just have outgrown the pot?

Look ok to me. Some plants just have downward facing leaves. Some nl crosses grow curled under leaves, my cherry pie always pionts straight up like its praying for sunshine. I dont think its an issue. Did you top those? Cant tell.

Yeah i topped all three and they do look good just gonna half to step up my watering schedule. Is a Cali Connection Purple Diesel if swerve had anything to do with it I'm sure its gonna be sum what unstable!! the larger leaves tend to curl under a lil but after i watered tonight they'll sum what point straight up tomorrow so like i said i think i'm just starving her of water and plus just started my nute schedule so....

Ya probably coulda crammed five gallon grow bags in there if you tried. I think your roots are going to be squished. Just remember root bound plants stretch and are easily burned by nutes cause its all roots and no dirt ;) they make a good root swell early flower till a few weeks before chop so watch after thats done howmuch you feed and if its burning them.

Nah, ive done it before too, no worries just do it quick. If its thrips therell be little white carvings out of the leaves and youll see the bugs in the veins on top.

Dont see thrip damage. Caterpiller maybe, ive found them in mine before but they didnt munch clear through, just made the leaves look like they were made of lace. Its probably just speed crack, i just made the phrase up and it sounds like the plants are on hard drugs but thats not what i mean. Sometimes when they are well fertilized and growing fast they can speed crack, they just crack apart somehow. I dont think its bad.

The droopy plant looks to be the tallest, no? Perhaps it's too hot up top for her. If the bottom leaves are reaching while the top is droopy it's usually a heat or light stress thing (in my experience).
