Have I overwatered?

[Dr Nick]

Was going well for a while....

I started this plant indoors, growing in front of a South West facing window that gets plenty of direct sun everyday. She (I hope, but am starting to think its a male because of no white pistols) is about 2.5 months old now, but has taken a turn for the worse in the last few weeks.

The pot that it is planted in does not have drain holes, but does have one of those holes in the bottom that leads to a false reservoir. I tend to only water it once a week by checking the dryness of the soil at the surface and lifting the pot.

Could this be too much water, or moldy roots? At first I thought the drooping leaves meant it was thirsty and it seemed to perk up upon watering, but now it is staying drooped. It's been this way for 2 weeks now, but no signs of withering.

Any ideas? Please help!

yeah it could be from overwatering. i would stick your finger about an inch in the plant and if its damp dont water it! once its ready to water again give it some superthrive to boost its life back!!

Thanks for the response, but I think I finally figured it out. I think what you are seeing in the pics is a gross abuse called, starvation!!! I was so afraid of overwatering, that in the end it was lack there of.

I dug down the side of the pot last night a good 8 inches, and it was all dry as a bone. Dumped a phat pitcher of water on it the next morning, and when I got home from work, HUGE improvement.

As the weed gets much bigger, it is very demanding of thirst.

Now to finally figure out if its a female!
