Default My plants are drooping :( help!
I have four plants that were started indoors hydroponically and eventually became to big for my flood tray so I moved them outside. They looked fine the first day but now the leaves are drooping. I have read a lot of places that under watering and over watering look the same. But I don't know how to tell the difference. I cant afford a moisture meter at this moment and have just been pushing my finger down as far as I can in the soil to see how moist it is and using that as my gauge as when to water. Attached are some pics...some help would be highly appreciated.

Hey brother, never done this before but since no one else responded...

Would venture to suggest they are stressed pretty severely by the move. The move from indoor controlled enviro to outside is extreme, usually. The change in temps, light intensity, humidity, wind, roots disturbed, etc. As such, they have shut down transpiration and/or can't keep up w the demands. This is my best guess.

Assuming the soil/watering/feed rate/pH is solid, and the temps aren't xtreme, they will rebound over the coarse of the week. I really don't think they will be fully "normal" & you will have issues perhaps with finish times, but should improve greatly from where at now. Best brah!

Its a bit late now but "water" roots and "soil" roots are NOT the same. The old roots from they hydro are dying and the plant is trying to grow new roots that can use the soil. Moving from soil to water is easy because the roots can grow quickly with out much work, soil its slow and hard. Best thing to do now is give them lots of water, the plants are to big for the new short roots to get all the water up to so I would mist the leaves to help slow the water loss. Also try cutting (if your still in veg and not flowering, if your flowering your fucked and that sucks) the tips off of all/most of the fan leaves as the tips are most likely going to brown up anyways. Look up pictures of clones to see how far back to cut the leave tips, this should help ease the work for the plant and once the roots are out they should be just fine, after all it is a weed!

Yeah what Bob said is also a factor, but once the soil roots are out and if it is still early enough (few weeks to a month before flowering starts) in the season it shouldn't hurt your yeilds unless its trying to flower but has to grow
