Just past a month veg FFOF FFHF soil mix, 3gal fabric pot, RO water, using FF trio last few feeds, plain water in between lights about 20” canopy no par meter im about 27-30 k lux. Temps 76-82* humidity 45-50% exhaust fan running small oscillating fan going on low and have small inline pumping fresh air in. I have been running about 2 liters through pots during watering pretty slow get decent runoff. They seemed fine at first nice and perky all leaves then slowly started to droop and stay dropped after watering barley slight perkyness. I dnt water again until pot is very light weight soil bone dry; is that the issue to dry?
Do I have something happening at roots possibly.

Absolutely not the case. Your plant is fine. Some drooping is normal, particularly around watering time or lights on or off. It rarely lasts more than several hours.
Cannabis withstands dry soil very well.

They were watered a day and half ago with 2l plain water soil already pretty dry. Yes I’ve noticed the droopy look from watering see how perk up after just seems they’re over droopy a lot of the the time. Should I start adding more than 2l watering/ feeding this point. Since they’re only in 3gal pots should I just flip flower? During flowering do I still add same amount watering
Pot is pretty light weight should I just water again are they just soaking it all up trying to grow looked back my pics 10 days ago from then til now they’ve grown significantly I guess. I’m just seeing the remnants of a thirsty plant I assume???.

Your plants are big enough to water to runoff every watering.
Yes. Water to runoff and then let the soil dry out before watering again.

Agree with @MidwestGuy. Plants will drop before lights on or off and it’ll take more than a day or 2 to see results

How much longer should I veg for; or how much longer may they be vegged, I’m assuming time doesn’t matter as long as they’re growing properly?. To long and they be root bound here 3gal pots safe to say for sure happen.

Here is a time lapse video so you can see they droop and bounce back repeatedly for several non issue related reasons. Hope this puts your mind at ease.

That depends on the room in your grow space. The plants can double and even triple in size during the stretch. I would also do a little research on LST, this will benefit the plant with exposing the hidden bud sites and help with light penetration and air circulation

Yes I have noticed the droopy look then bounce back before and after lights on or off. Sort of feel maybe I let dry out to much one of them doesn’t seem to fan it’s self out like they normally would just stays limp hahahaaaa the smaller newer growth does somewhat stand straight up n out towards light have that cupped V shap but everything else just blah looking even to touch can feel the slumpness stiff droop not floppy feeling. Like forming self to the droopyness. Thanks for the link.
thank you all for the help
Yes sir I have been lsting been slowly pulling back down there pulling selves up every few days yanking the plant sting stuff off paper clips I have attached to fabric pot.
I truly really enjoy all of his lots of work, knowledge get hang of luckily have all you support helps. Believe I screw self up at times all the reading try do.

As far as room space I think decent size had build little room 6x7x6 1/2 ft roughly I wasn’t sure would root bound 3gal fabric pot at moment seem to be close to 2’ suppose would be taller if I didn’t lst I also topped them nice busy dense looking must i defoliate some. I trimmed a good portion down below wasn’t getting any light

Yeah and unfortunately mine aren’t drooping like video it’s a constant stiff droop I lightly push up on leaf it’s pretty stiff kind feels sounds like paper but I’ve been watering may of been late a day if it’s possible doesn’t seem to have bounced back from it.

On feed or water days make sure you discard the run off after testing, don’t let the plants sit in this, they’ll wick back in the expelled salts from synthetic nutrients creating all kind of issues in the root zone

Just thought drop in show them
I dialed back on nutes figured use up its reserves, not sure ok do. Readings🤷🏽♂️ lead me to believe cut back so as not have left over high amounts nutrients?. One of them soil keeps dropping well under 6.0, kept having to mix nutes separately to raise ph that pot. Had all 3 6.7 last watering that same one was back to 6.3.
I’m bout end 7th wk lights weren’t to powerful center one didn’t flower as dense, it does have way more flowering points though seems she was way more of a producer.
Waiting on magnifier should be here today, should I completely cut out nutes now must I wait see trichom development? With the small glass I have seems trics still clear faintly see few were cloudy what I could sort see.
Oh budding flowers I’m excited
I was taking it easy on them didn’t remove enough foliage even the smaller flowers seem pretty dense solid
Slightly burned them beginning flower also nutes

Your lighting intensity may be too intense…praying leaves/pointing up is generally the sign
