Why is she going droopy

[newgrowth99]

Just had a thought.

The pot is in a larger plastic box to catch any run off.

If I filled this with water to a few inches above the bottom of the pot.

Would this work like a sip watering system with the Coco and the roots sucking up the water as needed?

Or would I just drown the plants?

I could drill more holes above the water line to let any excess water drain back into the box

"How often do you water coco soil mix?

As a rule of thumb, you should start by watering once per day, and observing the moisture of the coco in the pots for a few days. If you have especially large containers (which won't dry out as fast as small pots) you may be able to get away with watering only every other day."

it's not clear within the results, what PH for coco soil mix ...

I've stuck a combo ph and moisture detector in the pot and it's showing coming up a hair width under 6, I tested it in a few different spots and it's constant

It also showed the media as only just in the "moist" range. I did manage to find one spot that was noticeable more wet that the rest of the pot. It was also the most compact spot, I losened the soil up so hopefully it balances out

while most pheno will have their bottom and older leaves to drop first when thirsty i once had a pheno whose top leaves started dropping before bottom leaves when thirsty

Interesting

Nope don’t water like that. Are you going to a bigger pot for flower ?

I wasn't planning on changing the pot.
I had a nightmare re potting a smaller plant last week so I want to avoid it if possible

I think she's fully recovered
