Perky in the day, droopy at night?

Have some outdoor plants that point up alot durring the day, its been 90-100 o F (and dry as a bone) for the last few weeks.

At night time they droop really bad like they need water, but they dont, they are watered properly.

By 9:00pm they are very droopy and by about 5:00am the next morning they are all perky again.

Other than that plants appear to be very healthy.

Is this normal?

Thats normal for the droopy and perkiness. But it does sound like your plants are trying to resperate as much as possible during daylight hours, especially because off the heat + RH . Temp and RH go hand in hand.. Your plants will eaither try and resperate or the stomatos will close to do it's best to conserve moister content. In Higher humidities your plant leaves usually streach up-watch esspecialy when rains outside-easily noticeable on indoor gardens.

Just a thought, maybe u dont have the right strain for your area- I know it's a long shot but food for thought. But if that were the case, woudn;t the plants just droop!

Cool, thanks for the reply.

I know these are not optimal conditions, its more or less an experiment at this time.

hey np and good luck

well they already answered it lol but yes its normal for a plant to streach for the light source ... basically the whole thought behind lst and when the light is gone its kinda like thier resting in a sense but like he said us high temp areas have to monitor the humidity outside as with any living thing a high humidity is like a suffacating blanket during high heats it doenst allow core temps to lower causing drying out and dehydration

yea man..........plants droop overnight, they sleep...........wake up perky in the morning, no worries, keep up the good work, WORK HARD,GROW HARD, and SMOKE HARD

I hate the motherfuckers. They gross me out to no end. At least alot of them die an absolute horrific death:




Braconid parasite Apanteles sp. The photo shows the pupal cocoons of this parasite on the hornworm. Hornworms (Sphingidae) are parasitized by these insects. The adult wasp inserts its eggs beneath the skin of the hornworm larva. The eggs hatch and the young braconids feed on the hornworm. This parasite is an important factor in control of hornworms and is most beneficial. Should you find a hornworm in your garden with the protruding cocoons you should move the hornworm a good distance from your plants (usually tomato plants) but avoid harming it so that the Braconid parasite can develop, and multiply.

Yeah, I was happy to see wasps in the veggie garden. I had these fookers show up out of nowhere (years ago)...in the middle of the desert and defoliate my tomato plant in less than a day.

I want chickens!...they turn bugs into eggs and fertilizer!

Muhaha yeah chickens would tear em up, their bodies are quite soft.

When I was 7 years old or so the next door neighbor would give me a nickel for each one I could find, pick off his plants and put into a used coffee can.

After I was done he would pour a small amount of gasoline into the can and light it up - and I got to watch

I dont think my mother approved (the neighbor using gas) but she still let me do it.
