alright i could use some help, ive been growing in hydro ever since i could remember, i just recently got some 5 gallon smart pots and some ffof.
so far its been great started off good been growing the same as hydro, but im noticing my plant is starting to droop more and more, when the light comes on it seems to perk up but by the time the light is about to shut off its drooping pretty badly now, just started this week.
everything is perfect literally water, temp, ph, ec, pest and fungus control. i think im not understanding how often to water or watering too much.
to give an example, i will use 1 gallon of water per each 5 gallon pot, this always gives me 10-20% run off. by day 3, the surface feels pretty dry but with very very little moisture, so ill tend to wait till day 4 to water. wondering if im letting it get too dry and my plant is letting me know its thirsty by drooping, i do notice when i water it, it seems to really perk up afterwards so maybe thats my answer.
what do you think? could really use your help before it becomes a problem im scared i might not be able to get it to recover, it looks perfectly healthy not a flaw on the plant, its just the drooping lately.
id take pictures but no need, pretty easy problem to describe, its just not looking as lively as before.
