Outdoor grow drooping leaves please help

[Oldchucky]

He put the weather on the first page! Looks like 70s but 85% humidity! That 85 is probably killing him! A plant in that shape isn’t transpiring much and the pot will take a long time to evaporate dry! Especially HF with no added perlite!

Less than half a gallon. The pot is a 7 gallon pot.

How much water did you give

What do you recommend for the drooping and also the leaves that are yellowing at the bottom?

I think the pots too small for the plant. Probley all the water runs out the sides. If you keep it in it you can try setting it in a larger bucket water it in that allow it to sip up and soak. Bottom leaf is normal to yellow a few at a time outdoors not to worry.

not watering enough,.
7gallon pot needs about 1.5 gallons to be watered properly..
temp humidity are fine

It’s up to you to determine whether that soil is soaking wet or dry! However, you wanna go about doing it! Whatever it takes! If you dumped a half gallon on it, I would think you would see some improvement. Even slight!

The yellowing towards the bottom is normal. It's probably a little more extreme since its not up taking probably.

Like Nick said give it about 1.5 gallons for that size pot. But only you know how dry that soil is. Get a meter if your not sure.

As long as your not seeing much run off when your watering, you should be okay.

That humidity isn't helping at all but they should be able to manage those conditions (for a little while) as long as your giving them enough water.

I am a fan of moisture meters also! I know a lot aren’t! I use mine all the time and 35 gallon pots! Especially for the newer grower! You could probably snag one today if you have a grow Store down there! Or maybe even Wally world! Might be the best 15 bucks you ever spent!

Plants go through less water in high humidity. There is too much 'pressure' outside for the stomata to open properly, so less water is cycled through.

I had one and relied on it for a couple years when I was growing in pots. They work well enough.

How much water did you give it?

I gave it less than half a gallon of water.

 

[Jmoney805]

what size bags?
how much water you give?
daytime temps and humidity?

It's a 7 gallon bag. I gave it less than half a gallon yesterday. Today the plant is looking worse the daytime temps have been low to mid 70s and humidity is 77 today but sometimes high as 80s

Not enough water. Not even close. Flush 10 gallons through it slowly and give it shade, if it doesn't perk up in 24hrs. after that then something has killed or is killing the roots.

You also have some bug damage, possibly thrips but that's not causing that, I suspect it's your watering practices

 

[Beachbumm]

Are my rookie eyes jumping to conclusions ?

Yes.

Container looks bit small

 

[Jmoney805]

Good news. Today the plant looks quite a bit better. I decided to try a bottle of nutrients I think it's called grow big from fox farms. I mixed two teaspoons in a gallon. Today when I woke up the leaves looked definitely more perky!

 

[ArtVandelay]

It's going to dry up again if you don't get the right size container. 100% that plant is root bound.

I'm sure it's root bound but it's in a 7 gallon pot. I just didn't want the plant to get to big. If I put it in a larger pot it would get enormous

It will be alright in that 7 gallon one.. Just keep up with the watering, it will drink a lot more once it really gets going again.

Looking back at the 1st picture, I'd say it's does look substantially better then it did a few days ago. Cannabis is pretty hardy, hopefully the weather this week will be better. Once that humidity drops she'll perk up even more.
