The only plants u let get bone dry are succulents. Cannabis isn't a succulent. Don't ever let them dry out. and all of that stick your finger 2" dry stuff is a bunch of shit! dry soil=stunted plants. when I miss a plant or two watering they are always the stunted ones. every time. Cannabis NEEDS water. Dont be afraid to water them.

Did you damage the root tips when transplanting? Looks like it's in shock a bit. Maybe the water will revive it

You could try transplanting in a bucket of water next time and let the water loosen the dirt up before bringing the plant out.

I will. The pic I posted was just taken.
BUT can anyone tell me why she STILL looks overwatered with stems upright and leaves pointing down. This is more pronounced at the top of the plant. I imagined if the plant looked thirsty, stems would be drooping directly down from the main stalk. Video attached! Thanks so much 🤓

seems stiff and leaves sound dry when touching them?

Yes, apart from the top young leaves which are bloated.

Initial thought: When the lights go on the plants will rise, the plants themselves are always holding water. Although if the medium is too dry the plants will still rise towards the light but the leaves (indicators) will continue to droop.

Ahhh, yes I get ya. Interesting....

Thanks for the pointers everyone. The general consensus seems to be to water so I will give her some plain h2o. If she perks up I’ll add feed to the watering after that. I’m thinking a light watering this evening, a couple of hours before lights out or should I wait until the lights come on tomorrow morning? Decisions, decisions....😶

it’s better to fault on the dry side, worst case you’ll notice her start to droop, too much watering can ruin everything..

My thinking also. I’ve been growing outdoors for years with zero watering issues. This is the second indoor grow and I’ve had issues with both! Feel like I’ve got to forget most of what I learned and start again.
