Why the drooping?

Yesterday I got this plant that is suppose to be good genetics, but i can't figure out what the problem is. i use water that is always between 6-6.5 ph. Seemed to get better when i got it home, but now after i watered it, it is droopier than before. I am using advanced nutrients. can't figure this out, any thoughts?

Looks like overwatering. I had a lack of air circulation and that also caused mine to droop

Don't forget that mj likes to be saturated, then allowed to dry before next watering. Also, rootbound issues may start poking their head at you shortly.

yeah id say stop watering, pick the pot up whenever its wet such as it is now and feel the weight, then check it every day to see when the soil is dry, it will weigh alot less and then you know its time to water again. Also I dont believe you need to water with nutrients everytime

Also, plants always get droopy immediately after watering for up to 24 hours depending on your lighting....is that a clone?

Nope, not a clone, its from seed. Also it has been looking alot better(except my cat ate some leaves) since i posted this. I think you all were right, it was overwatered. Plus the person i got it from used shitty soil and had it in 90%+ humidity(not really sure if thats even bad). Its looking alot better since i got ahold of it.

Which Advanced Nutrients products are you using BTW?

You can also call their Tech Support line if you like, just tell them you're growing tomatoes.

HIGH thisbudzforyou,

Welcome to the GardensCure
Thanks for posting up the picture, it sure helps when we can look at
what you are trying to work on.

I must agree with all that has been said, and sounds like you really need to get her transplantedget some good soil and add about 30% perlite, and she will be fine.

GROW WELL
