LikelyNormal leaf movement (praying by day, drooping at night)
Fix: Nothing to fix. Healthy cannabis angles leaves toward strong light and relaxes them at night.
Recovery: Leaves follow the light cycle with no damage.
How to confirm it
- Lift the pot and check moisture at depth. Lift the pot right after a full watering to learn its wet weight, then lift before each watering. Water when it is clearly lighter (about half the added water gone). Push a finger or a moisture probe 5 cm (2 in) down. Heavy for 3-4+ days with droop: overwatering. Very light with limp papery leaves: thirst.
Look for
Lights-off droop, lights-on recovery; no other symptom..
