Week 1 of Flower
Thankful for any help.

Welcome to the forum.
Overwatering will cause drooping. In each pic the soil appears very wet. Cannabis needs wet/dry cycles for good root health. Roots need oxygen, and they cannot extract oxygen from soil that is constantly wet.
Let the soil dry out before watering again. Cannabis tolerates dry soil far better than wet soil.

These pics were taken 30min after watering all the leaves were up and healthy before that but i must admit i might have watered based on schedual instead of need.
Its Coco/perlite 70/30 mix.
Is it normal that only the top budsite leaves get affected?

I’d like to revise what I’ve said. You should be watering daily with coco.
Give the plant several hours to recover. Some level of drooping is normal. Watch this time-lapse video as an example.

Ya the droop is real lol. Coco is a different monster when it comes to feeding. Easy to think you’re over watering, kinda hard to actually do with established plants.
One thing I suggest is bumping your pH up over the next few weeks. Try to finish around 6.0. Different nutrients are needed more at different stages and they are more readily available at different pH levels. Those more vital in flower (PK) are on a slightly higher side of the scale.

Greetings, brother.
I experience this quite often after watering and turn off the lights for them to do the 6 hours off cycle. I am amazed how beautiful they look when the lights come on after a good meal and rest. I grow in soil. It seems like from dry needing fed and feeding them they instantly start the droop.
Take care.

Good morning! Welcome. I had some drooping issues a few weeks back. I eventually attributed it to feed times and lights on/off. I was feeding about midday. Switched plant location from house to shop. Switched feed time to right after lights on. I am in coco also. Was not overwatering per say but I was. Now I’m in flower and shes drinking a ton more and the drooping has stopped. The will sag at lights on/off as well. Looking good though. Good color and appears to be getting bushier.
