  1. how long can a 4 week old plant go with out water.. ?

    ive had a problem 4 the last week now

    i overwatered last week so i let her dry out and she bounced back to life

    then a day or 2 after i watered her again a little

    and its gone all droopy again really badly it was last watered 3 days ago

    and its just completely curled down today i duno what to do

    any help?
     
  2. If I don´t water mine every 24 they are wilting by 36 - but it is AMAZING how they recover in minutes.
    But your climate and my mediterranean climate may be totally different.

  5. Dude, you're having a shocker! I fell your pain, I really do, I've been there my friend. ;)

    They do look over watered, but the soil looks surprisingly dry, is it? If you stick your finger in the soil about an inch or two down, can you feel moisture?

    When was the last time you watered?
    Do your pots have holes in the bottom?
     
  6. ive not had my fingers in there yet lol wont it damage roots ?

    n yerh it really is dry theyve not been watered since saturday!

    theres a couple of holes but there not that big,
     
  7. yeah, stick your finger in there man, be gentle, if you feel resistence from a root, stick your finger in at another bit.

    The holes thing could be your problem. you need two or three or more decent size holes for drainage, otherwise the water will sit at the bottom of your pot, so while it looks dry on top, it's wet at the bottom.

    That soil looks kid of dense. MJ roots need plenty of oxygen.
    The soil needs to drain well and quickly. That looks like either overwatering or heat stress or both. What are your temps?
    I would also add perlite to the soil.
