Wilting leaves

Strain - The Church, 5gallon fabric pot, Happy Frog soil (40% perlite), 2 weeks and 3 days old, 135W Quantum led (turned down to 70W @ 20"), 78 deg @ 55% humidity, watering with dechlorinated tap water 6.2 pH.


I gave my plant 50ml (0.132 gal) of water Saturday and the big fan leaves wilted by Sunday. My last watering was 4 days ago and I gave it 25 ml (.066 gal) of water. So it been very light watering. Why would it be wilting like that? Over watering? I would figure it could take alot more water than what I given. It seems to like dry soil.....IMG_20200426_093352.jpgIMG_20200426_093219.jpgIMG_20200426_093159.jpg

I am not seeing anything concerning. Where are the wilted leaves?
Small plants like that go through growing pains till they are established, dont sweat it too much

Look fine but they should pray up to light at sometime during lights on. Looks like it ready for lights out. I noticed mine doing this once and freaked until I realised they were just tired

I've always stuck with 18/6 I figure plants love the dark time. Still give it time. Don't go chucking things at it. If this is your first grow just try be patient

Just re read your post. You are definitely not over watering. 50 ml is not enough imo. I would be aiming for at least a litre per plent watered slowly at the edges of your pot. Let it dry a few days and repeat process. You can water until runoff comes out as long as you have good drainage and leave it to dry a few days before watering again. Also pH of water can effect certain soils if its not in the right range

Specially being 24 hour veg. Lift the pot and see how heavy they are. Lift after watering so you know how heavy they are. When they feel light again after a few days you will know they need watering
