Cannabis plant drooping after watering – what am I doing wrong?
Every time I water my plants, they droop for like 24 hours afterward. They look healthy otherwise — green leaves, growing well. But the drooping after watering is concerning.
Am I using too much water? Too little? Wrong pH? The soil drains pretty well and I only water when the top inch is dry.

Some slight drooping right after watering is normal — the roots are adjusting. If it bounces back within a few hours, you're fine.
If it takes 24+ hours to recover, your pot may not be draining well enough. Make sure you have holes in the bottom and the soil isn't compacted.

Also check if you're watering right before lights on. Plants naturally droop during their "night" cycle. Water 1-2 hours after lights come on for best results.
