I’ve been having some droopy leaves ever since the transplant to bigger pots and a full tent. At first I was thinking it was simply from the initial Microbe soak and was planning to just water lightly after. Flora has been extra droopy though and feels lighter than her sister Evie so starting to think maybe it’s more than the water for her. Second guess was light. I pulled the light up yesterday to go from 450 to 350 ppfd as measured from my phone app. Saw more leaf tip burn this morning so tried a different phone to check light again. Got slightly higher results and dropped the intensity to get it down to 300. I feel like all of those are in range if not even a little low for this phase though. I’m not too worried about a little bit of painted nails and they’re in Fox farms happy frog with layers of ocean forest mixed in below. So it is likely a little hot for them but the drooping has me a little concerned. It’s been 5 days since the soak and Evie still feels a little weighty while the one that has been more droopy is starting to feel pretty light. I’d hate to water her though if I’m misreading signs.

Flora that has been wilting like this for a couple of days.

Tip burning isn’t really an issue unless it goes significantly beyond just tip burning.

Drooping is normal. Check out the cyclic drooping cycles this plant goes through.

Thanks! I knew they would cycle throughout the day but Flora’s wilt and curl has been on the more severe side and seemed to stick around for a few days now. Glad to hear she’s looking normal though and that video is super cool. I could watch that time lapse stuff all day.
