Have a small basic outdoor grow that is recently experiencing wilting or drooping plants in the early vegetative state. Already lost two and it's now spreading to one side of garden. Killing plants off very quickly, in a matter of days. Recent batch experiencing problems started drooping overnight.
Plants are in 10 gallon bags, basic 420 mix of soil. Gave an initial fertilizer of organic nitrogen into soil and by watering. Starting happening right away to first plants that were newly transplanted but now spreading to the rest of garden including plants that are still in original pots (not transplanted).
Very distinct drooping and wilting at top of plants even though rest of plant looks healthy, green, leaves are not discolored, stems look strong.
Only thing I can imagine is overwatering but soil feels dry to the touch, bags aren't super wet at the bottom (a little moist). There is a sprinkler that goes off at night, maybe that's doing it, but plants don't seem to look like textbook overwater.
Take a look at pictures, please help!

You don't want to use cocoa, especially outside because you have to water them or feed them every day! Coco is like a soilless as it's more for indoor, it's basically hydroponic.I'm not an expert at this and I also grow in coco, but I noticed this wanted to comment so I could follow along. I hope you don't mind. To me, they look like they have too many nutes, but again, I haven't grown in soil. Can you flush out soil like you do coco?
Thank you. I wouldn't think coco would work outdoors since I'm trying to mimic the outdoor environment indoors with coco, so that makes sense. My question is, can/do y'all flush soil if there are too many nutes like you would with coco?You don't want to use cocoa, especially outside because you have to water them or feed them every day!

Yes I have done that with a soil mix I used for tomatoes, flushed it once let it drain dry out a bit then flushed again with 1/4 strength feed with some worm casting tea let drain dry out a bit then grew up a storm , after being a Nursery man for a few years you have to make up the required mix for what plants your growing at the time we would always hold back on the amount of fert we put in knowing most potting soils are to hot . That’s why if I grow in soil mix I flush I don’t know if what’s on the bag is what’s in the bag you get my drift here . OdThank you.

Copy that.

I put everything that I grow in fabric pots, inside or outside. To me I can control everything much easier using my own medium which is Pete MosTo me I can control everything much easier using my own medium, 75% peat and 25% perlite, also some growers use a small percentage of coco. Since I've put everything in the crockpot I will flush on occasion everSince I've put everything in the cloth pots, I'll flush a couple times. SLF-100 is a microbe amendment, that's supposed to break down salt left over from nutrients. I just bought it I'm gonna give it a try, from the reviews it supposed to be amazing stuff. You don't have flush as often. Good luck homeboyThank you. I wouldn't think coco would work outdoors since I'm trying to mimic the outdoor environment indoors with coco, so that makes sense.

So The Mulch on top needs to come off what kind of soil are you in why are people saying you're in Coco they look like they're too dry and maybe they didn't harden off like mr. Madbud said I would definitely put them in the shade till I worked out the issueHave a small basic outdoor grow that is recently experiencing wilting or drooping plants in the early vegetative state.

Looks like you didn’t harden them and the sun is wilting them. Place them in shade for a couple days and they should come cack.
you guys don't mulch?So The Mulch on top needs to come off what kind of soil are you in why are people saying you're in Coco they look like they're too dry and maybe they didn't harden off like mr. Madbud said I would definitely put them in the shade till I worked out the issue
Looks under watered to me with the drooping stems. (The leaves typical droop, not the stem if over watered.) If you transplant and the plant starts wilting, the roots are dry. It doesn't matter if the bottom of the pot is wet, there's no roots down at the bottom. You need to water the existing root zone for a few days before moving irrigation out to the pot edge to encourage root growth. If the roots area is dry I’d give them a good watering and move into the shade.Have a small basic outdoor grow that is recently experiencing wilting or drooping plants in the early vegetative state.
