Droopy leaves and not sure why

[Jyoung927]

Banana kush auto, going into week 6. Can't figure out why the leaves are droopy. Ph is at 6.2. I feed her the fox farm trio at half dose every watering. Also feed her cal-mag, bud-candy and a terpene booster since flowering. She is in coco-coir perlite mix in a felt pot. I thought I was underwatering so I upped the watering to 1-1/2 gallons everytime. She perks up a few hours after watering but just a few hours after that She is back to being droopy. Any solution? Thanks in advance

Picture of the soil please, looks like overwatering

light is turned up slightly too high or overwatered is my guess but it's just that a guess with thr pic you provided. Need more like stated above

She was watered last night. I water until 15 percent run off. The soil seems to drain good. I also wait for the pot to be completely dry and test with a moisture meter before watering. I'm using an ac infinity light evo 6. It's on max and about 16 inches above the plant. I have 2 of this strain in my tent right now but the other does not droop like this one

for an Auto she looks like a big plant, how big is her pot? Is the pot on a riser and draining properly, with each fertigation you need flood to drain, to push out old nutrient/salts (resetting the rhizome) dont let her sit in a saucer, dump the water/salts that drain(you can test the run-off ppm/pH) Build your Coco Properly for Hi-Frequency Fertigation or It defeats the Purpose of Coco, 55/45 Coco/#3 Perlite (60/40 #4 Perlite if you can get it) The Yellowing is over-wet, the Droop is Oxygen Starved. Let her Dry back so she pulls in Oxygen.

5 gallon fabric pot sitting on a riser in a dish. I actually take her out the tent and feed and drain her then put her back in. Also she is not yellow at all that coloring is off because of the led lights.

Your watering regiment sounds right to me. The soil looks pretty normal to me. But nonetheless, still looks like overwatering. A symptom of overwatering is the watering perking leaves back up, just to fall again in a few hours after depleting oxygen brought in from watering.

How I check myself is by not watering whole pot.. Just the middle 75%, leaving outer ring dry. This gives me room for error. The outer dry buffer dries the inner through slow absorption. Plant always has a spot for oxygen from roots too.

Watered this 1 yesterday. It still has plenty to make it another day at least.

Based on the taco-ing, edge curl, and droop, I'd back off the light intensity. The leaves are trying to reduce their surface area so they don't have to process so much light.

Thanks, I will let her Dry out and try it that way next watering. I always watered the entire pot to try and make sure all the roots get wet but will switch it up and see what happens

Thanks, im going to raise the light a little and see if that helps
