My leaves are drooping big time. Should I be worried? She has been outdoors for a week and a half and looking good. Itโ€™s been hot here in so cal so Iโ€™ve been watering daily. Wind picked up today so brought her inside and this is happening. Too much water? Too little water? Root bound? 2 gallon pot. Week 7 from seed auto flower blueberry never transplanted. The grow has been perfect up until today.

Watering in soil every day is way too frequently in soil, unless she is drinking heavily, which is possible because shes in flower and stretching.

2 gallon pots should only be finished in when using coco with daily fertigation imo.

Depending on strain she could just be hot, some dont handle it the best.

I dotn wanna say shes rootbound because shes not really showing signs of deficiencies.

Are you feeding? Iirc if she is rootbound you can ph your water and use chemical to direct feed


I could be out of my element here though because ive never flowered in soil with anything smaller than 3 gallon tho
 
Yeah not to hit the diagnosis yet but that plant has most likely outgrown that pot, so that's going to be a setup for stress. It very well may be regularly thirsty.....Why are you bringing it in and out? Tell us more about what's going on, the soil, the environment, any feeding....? As small as that pot is, it doesn't look like it's starving for nutrients......

And what's your intention? It certainly can't be to keep growing it in that pot. You might be overwatering to compensate.....and it's hot.....

Yeah I'm always interested in the variety too. And are we talking hot mid 80s, hot 90s....? It could be rootbound and they're feeding it. You'd think this plant would have sucked up all the nutrients from 2 gallons worth of soil.........instead of feeding and combating that, I would transplant either into the ground, or into a far bigger pot with good, fresh soil.

Im never a fan of transplanting in flower but i would make an exception in this case. If it were me id take her out, cut some roots and transplant to a 10 gallon. Maybe even reveg until she fills out the pot. Sheโ€™d be an ugly bitch but would yield decent

If hef's in Southern California I don't think they're in flowering yet. But I don't know what stage they're at, indoors or outdoors....

Oh. it's an auto......... :(, in beautiful southern California?? Why........ :(

yes transplant them to a 5 or 7 gallon pot :-) they will love you for that.

Taking a look at the roots really isn't a big deal, and will perhaps give you the answers you are looking for.
Squeeze the pot all over, including the bottom, and pop it out.

Edit: wait, is that a fabric pot? You can sort of roll the fabric down, you wanna take a look at the bottom if you can.

Thanks for everyoneโ€™s advice. My drooping leaves were caused by over watering. Woke up this morning and she is looking good again (IMO).
This only my second time growing, just doing it for fun. Im using GH nutrients, and feeding their recommended dose for transition into flower. Water is PH tested between 5.8 and 6.3.
she has started flowering, so Iโ€™m not interested in replanting. Iโ€™m not interested in having a beast of a plant. With that said, that is the reason I donโ€™t have a photo period in ground in this beautiful California weather. If I can pull off a few ounces, thatโ€™s more than enough for me.
Im not bringing the auto Blueberry hybrid in and out. I took her out of my 2x2 tent because I have a photo Diesel in that tent and they out grew it. Picture below of the diesel. The only reason blueberry was brought indoors yesterday was because we were having wind gusts of 30-40 mph and I didnโ€™t want to find her floating in the pool this morning.

Yep. But your overwatering begins with a small pot, is exacerbated by hot weather......so you keep watering to battle this.

Also, you're feeding, and you're testing your water Ph.......but are you testing your wet soil? As the plant flowers, auto or otherwise, it will (try to) get bigger, will require more water, more nutrients, and all of this is like trying to feed a baby like an adult, in this case the pot and soil being the baby. Even if you micromanage it, every day, twice a day, and keep everything balanced like a tightrope.......rootbound is going to be the next roadblock.

You don't have to grow an auto, or use a small pot to not grow a beast of a plant
You can start a plant later in the season, you can force flower early, you can top and prune it down.....and you can choose a variety that's naturally on the smaller and early side.

Your indoor plant looks good. Your outdoor plant may currently be bounced back, depending on time of day, weather, your watering/the soil. But now it's showing leaves curling upward a bit. This may not be so bad, or it could be the next sign of the same problems.

Took your advice and transplanted into a 5 gallon fabric pot. The biggest I have. Used Purple Cow Indicanja organic soil.

I'll take it.... ;)

Right on. Even though you'll water less often and let the soil dry out in between more, right now, until the roots work their way into their new, bigget home......keep the soil fully moist, not soaking wet, so the new roots don't hit dry pockets. Keep a smooth transition, especially with an auto.
 
Looks alot better just water when the leaves start to sag down or pot is light and you will be good to go

Looks good. Glad you got it worked out man! โœŒ
 
Looks like she is loving her new home. Thanks everyone for your input.
