Overwater or Underwater?

I know that if plants are overwatered then they will start to droop....Then i also read that if plants are underwatered they will also, start to droop. So my question, is there anyway to tell the difference between an overwatered droop from an underwatered droop? lol just sounds weird

from my experience so far, you just end up kind of telling right off the bat...easier to learn if you just purposely go out of your way and underwater one and overwater one...a great use for those pesky garden males too

underwatered is limp...noodle like...even the stems flop around...can't miss it... the pot is feather light and soil separates from the container wall

overwatered are more firm but the leaves curl down...almost looks like they are sleeping for a better description...the pot is heavy and may even still drip water when held aloft
pushing a finger into the dirt usually is rewarded with a squelching sound and possibly water pooling around your finger

it would probably be better to over water, but why would you do either? just pay attention to the weather forecast and vary how much what you give them depending on that. if it rains alot one week, then give them very little water. if its hot and dry, give them extra

you can tell when more serious signs of under watering happens you'll notice yellowing of leaves starting at the bottom-most. They develop a nutrient deficiency from under-watering so other signs of nutrient deficiency can be tell-tale signs of under watering.

1x/week?? Water the hell out of it, unless you get rain all the time.

Wet

Okay cheers for the info guys

Is it too late for sprouts if the leaf tips have started to yellow, assuming underwatering is the problem?

You can deluge your plants with water as long as dont do it day after day if you do that then your plant will be in a over watered condition. I have to leave for several days. I deluge my plants, and with in 5 days they need water again. Cannabis is a semi- arid plant it doesn't need alot of water to survive. You can notice this when your plant is in a drought state the container can be almost bone dry for a day or two before the plant starts to wilt. Because its semi-arid the plant has defenses to slow down transpiration to preserve water. I have a few friends that wait till there plants start to wilt before they water. Idk its just how they like to roll.

You can't really say chlorosis is solely caused by a (N) deficiency. Over watering will cause this condition, among several other variables. You need to look at a plant deficiency chart. The cause of the chlorosis will be accompanied with other characteristics to give you the proper diagnosis.
