Drooping leaves in week 2

[Noman]

Hey guys, Happy New Year to you all!!

first day of the year & I have the droopy leaves! What’s your hypothesis guys?

I have researched that overwatering causes this. The bottom of my pots were slightly wet however the top was crisp dry, literally crisp!
so I watered them slightly today hoping they would pick up later on.

I also have drilled lots of holes towards the bottom of the pots and have a fan blowing on them.

Any help is appreciated as always

Looks like it needs moisture to me.
Rule of thumb is, if leaf only is droopy it's too much moisture and the leaf is having trouble transpiring it. If leaf and it's stem are droopy it's lack of moisture to keep plant turgid enough.......I have had em half bent over at main stem and recover nicely.
It looks like a coco type mix of medium and those will drain and lose moisture more rapidly than soil based medium.....

Thanks bro. Would you suggest increasing humidity slightly? Currently it’s at 58%.
The stems are fine they feel strong, it’s just the leaves bro & yes it’s a light mix/coco based medium

I'm the last person to ask about humidity, mine grow at whatever the humidity is in my bedroom. At that size 58% should be fine.
In the pic the leaf stems look to be drooping i.e. they got a curve to them, which leads me to think not enough moisture. I have had over watering where the leaf stem was straight as a 10 penny nail and the fingers were almost at a 90 degree downward droop. I am a soil grower so can only go by what I've read and by what coco growers have posted but watering by weight of pots or drip systems seems to be what most of them do.
Thin Dale does coco, I'll tag him in..... @Dale's Proper Bud

Morning guys still waking up if this is coco only then it is almost impossible to overwater which IMO would mean she is thristy… coco should be feed to 20% runnoff always.. I wouldn’t worry to much much she looks fine and some plants just droop be carful doing anything drastic as it can make things worse

From my point of view it looks like she are spot on with the nutrients, no need of any more water, maybe some higher temps (~plus 2 degrees) and a bit more light. She should perk up in a day or two.

Another thing i noticed were the pots, they look a bit small. Are you upgrading to bigger pots?

 

[Noman]

cool got it! Thanks @Dale's Proper Bud.
I use BioBizz light mix/Coco/Perlite.
And in all honesty I have never watered her until run off, as the bottom of the pots have always been on the wet side & I am scared the roots will rot if I do

Thanks bro, this is their final pots. They are 8L. Do you think it’s too small?

Yup and being this is a mixture of different media I don't know what to tell you since I have never used Biobizz.. She looks fine don't worry too much
