I just watered one of my OG kush plants that definitely needed watering, the soil was bone dry and it had been a week since it had water. Anyways immedeately after I watered the plant it began to droop, now its drooping pretty bad like 20 minutes later.

What did I do? Did i give it too much water? The pot has adequate drainage.

I just watered another OG yesterday that was just as dry and had the same amount of runoff water and gave it the same nutrient/water and this did not happen, in fact that plant is doing fantastic.

Here's a picture:

What can I do for it? What did I do wrong in the first place so I don't do it again in the future?
 
Nothing there is always a slight doop after a good water, just make sure not to overdo the water, and if you start to see red lines running up you stem its from over watering otherwise your golden
 
Just cuz the surface of the soil is dry doesnt mean it is dry at the bottom of the pot. Do you have a moisture meter? If not then you need to get one from the store for like $5. When watering, pour the water til you start to see runoff out of the bottom then stop. Try draining the tray out too so its not sitting in the water. It might help. Maybe you are giving too much water at feeding time. Soak em then let em dry out. Dont feed a little bit every couple days. Not saying that you are doing that but Im just saying as a precautionary. Good Luck!! Pics look fine tho. Not overwatered looking
 
Ok thanks, so the droop after watering is a normal thing? Thats good to hear.

I know i need to get a moisture meter, I'm gonna order one on the interent since its not the right season for all the gardening stuff in Walmart and shit, and we don't have any hydro stores in my city. I've heard some people say that moisture meters work and are great, and then a lot of people also say they are complete pieces of shit. I don't know what to believe, but I'll grab one either way.
 
Moisture meters are a pretty good way to help a new grower understand how the soil actually dries out during stages of growth....sure they are cheap but the technology is certainly not rocket science....with use through a couple of grows, you'll become much more familiar and confident in your watering techniques/schedules.....
