Guys I'm 18 days into bloom and the plant has been looking healthier then ever. In the beggining of the grow I had a tad bit of nutrient burn but got that all taken care of. My plant was repotted before going into bloom and should have plenty of room in its new pot. Im using a soil medium. A 250watt light in a cool tube. I have been watering nutrients > water > water > nutrients ect. 4 Days ago I watered with nutrients, got a tad bit of burn on the lower plant, but all was good. The only change I have really done was picked a semi burn small branch off last night of the bottom. All of a sudden I wake up and check on it at the end of its 12 hour light cycle and every branch is drooped. What could this be from! I had addiquate flow in and out of the box, good temperatures. The plant defiantly needs watered, like right now. Drank its last batch faster then I thought! Im almost positive its from not enough water, can I bring it back from this dehydration?
Here is a pic.
Please please help!
Im going to water my normal gallon.

Well they look like they are desperate for water so have you picked the pots up and felt the weight in your hand?
Hang on,just checked your profile and you've 30% perlite and 30% vermiculite in your compost so I'm thinking you
have dry pockets that maybe causing your droop?
how do you water?
Do you operate a proper wet/dry regime in that the plants are watered till runoff and not rewatered till a good 80%
of what was given last time has been utilised by the plant?

If its lack of water, and it looks like it, then after you give it a good soaking it should come back by the morning.
As the plant gets older its going to need watering more often, by the 3rd week of flower I am usually watering every other day.

I don't think its the dry pockets. I water like 4 liters ever 3 days. I know this was my fault. It needed to be watered last night and I wasn't around. The weight is bone dry today. I fucked up, just watered though, hopefully she stands tall. Im not worried about the parts that burnt off from this down low. I water until I get runoff and then I was waiting for it to be pretty light before watering again. (moist about 2 inches under soil) Should I just keep it at a very heavy weight, such as the one when I water it? Yes I'm noticing its sucking water faster in this 3rd week.
my first grow : /

NO! Don't keep it at a heavy weight as you will straight away run into problems because the compost needs to dry out and in so doing will pull fresh air into the growing medium which is essential for canna grown indoors in pots.
Just stay on your toes and operate a good wet and dry cycle,no other option available.
