I just watered my first plant like usual. I don't water with schedule but I try to weight the pot and feel if the soil is dry or moist.

Like many times before I weighted the pot and it felt very light (actually much lighter than on previous times I have watered).
The soil felt very dry also, first 1 - 1½" was dry and below that only very slightly moist.

I watered her exactly like before, slowly with 3L water and got some runoff. Just like 10 times before this. But this time 30 minutes after watering her she looks really wilted, like she was watered too soon.

Any ideas what's going on?

This is right before I watered her:

And here she is 30 minutes after watering.

Thank you for reassuring info! It indeed is soil (peat moss with 35-40% petlite) in fabric pot. I will follow her closely.

Droop after watering is pretty common, especially in certain types of media.

Nice! Yea id keep an eye on her until tomorrow. You should see her perk back up :)

How often do you water? I havent grown in that exact medium so im not sure how well it retains water. It could possibly be retaining a bit too much? But to me, the plant looks happy

I did not add organics into it, actually it is not just pure pat moss but peat moss based mix. Its a Lightmix from Biobizz. I only added the extra perlite into the mix.

Yeah, Light Mix has organic amendments. Worm castings in particular hold onto water pretty hard.
