Damned

My plants are drooping, im handwatering daily.
ph around 6

Each plant is about 4-6 feet, i give each plant about 200 ml, should i try giving them more?? Other then drooping they look good, lush green, thick stems.

Ps The biggest plants seem to droop more then the rest

It would normally be hard to say without you posting temps, light wattage and size of pots, but if you have plants at 4-6 feet tall and are only giving them less then one cup of water a day, i would say you are definitely underwatering them.

Yeah definately underwatering man. You should be giving your plants about 1000ml of water per gallon of soil generally. 15-20% of the total amount of water you dump into your container should come out of the bottom, then you know you're properly watering your girls. Watch what happens when you give them a nice big watering with runoff :)

Under watering for sure bro. My watering method: I have 7 gallon pots, and when in flower I water about every 4-5 days, each lady gets about 1.25 gallons of h2o. My ladies are in day 13 of flower. I just let them get dry but not too dry, and I can always tell if they havnt had water on about the 5th day because they will droop, just like what you describe.

I have an aprox 48" plant in a 3-1/2 gallon smart pot and about the 2 or 3 week of flower I had to bump up the watering/feeding too twice a day because the coco was dryng out too fast. Coco should never be dry. unless its just after a re-pot and you want the roots too look for water. when coco gets dry it can lead too nute lock out.
thats just from my limited experiance.

I have 8 BOG sour bubbles, in 2 gallon pots about to transplant to 4 gallon under a 600 watt HPS temps around 80-85, im using canna coc A+B, to coco tends to be very dry a little after the lights come on. Should i start watering twice a day, feeding once and with ph adjusted once?

Rootbound? Don't know how it goes in the coco but in soil when a plant gets rootbound it needs to be watered everyday, and they seem a little droopy no matter how much you water. Have they been in the same pots for a while?
