I would just like to clarify "overwatering"
You can't overwater simply by pouring too much water into your plants pot. A container will only hold so much water, you can't go over that amount. Overwatering does not mean too much water, it means watering too OFTEN.
Its kind of weird when you think about it.
The above ground part of the plant that lives in the oxygen does not need oxygen it needs water. And the below ground part of the plant that lives in wet dirt does not need water it needs oxygen.
Thats why the plant droops when the soil is too wet. The roots try to get rid of the water they are swimming in (because they dont like it, they like Oxygen) by sending it all up to the leaves.

One of the things I like about the fiber pots i'm using now is how the drainage works. While it does seem to need water a tiny bit more often, the fiber pots sweat and soak up the overwater which seems to help the plant rid of the excess water. I'm only about 3wks or so into my first indoor grow and using these fiber pots, but they seem to be working out pretty good.

Be careful with those fibre pots. Mold just loves to grow on them because they're always wet. A better answer to over watering is perlite and/or vermiculite. Even with a great mix like FFOF you should add some perlite or something similar to help improve soil texture and drainage. The lighter your soil the better. Beside improving drainage it lightens the weight of the soil making it easier for roots to push through it. Thats why hydro works so well, there is no soil to resist root growth and movement. Make your soil "light" enough and you can get real close to hydro results in a soil mix.

vermiculite retains water, not drain it.

I did not say that vermiculite "drains water". I said "A better answer to over watering is perlite and/or vermiculite."
Vermiculite also holds air and improves overall soil quality and texture.
I'm sorry if you miss-understood.

Hi everyone, I new here, and I hope I'm not breaking some kind of protocal by speaking up but couldn't resist as my babies have started drooping, actually they look like I used to after I tied one on. My babies are fairly newly cloned about 2 week. I had them under an aero garden light (no water just the light) and they were doing great, once I moved them to their own home, cfls, they have not been the same. I thought maybe I over watered and a friend suggested I put a heating pad under them, that helped to dry them up some but they are still drooping. I'd send you a picture but I have no idea how. Its not just the leaves that are drooping the entire plant is drooping. Its been 30 some years since I had a crop so new information is welcome. Thanks
