Rest buddy and take care of yourselfMy Absence:
I thought I'd share with everyone... I've had Covid for the last 2 weeks. I'm much better now, but the 1st week was rough. I'm getting stronger each day now and look forward to catching up on things here when I can.
I Love My Girls...
Stay safe

Take care of yourself buddy. Glad you're on the upswing. Have a good weekend!! 
Glad you're feeling better, and I do not like what I have heard about Covid. I had it twice last year and it was not that bad but this one can be worst.

Quick Update:
I've got a lot of catching up to do in my garden after being banged up from the automobile crash and then, as soon as I felt better from that, I got Covid. So my girls have been just getting by on minimum care for at least a month now.
I've recently been stepping up things and they're showing improvement. What I'm most concerned about is, I see lots of yellowing leaves and browning leaves. From the bottom-up, it's like someone's slowly trying to lollypop everything. I'm hoping it's just their way of pulling nutes during my off time.
My other concern is on the Wild Lady. She's drooping no matter what I do. I water her with the full amount of MSA. This used to help her perfectly... not any more. I have triple checked the moisture level of her soil and she has more water than anything else in my garden, and still droops if I don't water her extra. Today I've decided to just let her droop and see what happens. If she goes "nanners" on me I'll have to chop her to spare the rest of my girls from the pollen. I hate even thinking like this, but the other plants are doing quite well and I don't want seeds in my crop.
Here are some pics showing the various stages of bloom:
I'll try to get more pics showing the loss of leaves, when I can.

Oh man! I need a good weekend! Thanx dude!Take care of yourself buddy. Glad you're on the upswing. Have a good weekend!!
Thank you. It never got into my lungs like it has for so many others. Happy for that! And I'm feeling stronger, day by day.Glad you're feeling better, and I do not like what I have heard about Covid. I had it twice last year and it was not that bad but this one can be worst.
I want to say a big heart felt thank you
to all of you for your support (@Lerugged , @Gee64 , @InTheShed , @Bill284 , @Scottay , @KeithLemon ). Even though we've never met IRL, it still means a lot! Honestly!I Love My Girls...
I'm so glad you're back to complaining about the plants again! I'd say they look amazing considering the neglect. 
MSA won't help you now (it's never made my branches hold up the buds and I veg and stretch at 50ppm). Droopy Wild Lady has a classic sativa look to me, and some of them droop as part of the type. Do the leaves look the same at 8am, noon, and 6pm?

Anything different with the wild lady? Soil or anything?
Is it possible something has reduced her root size? Proximity to something?
Garden is stellar buddy
Sny plans for the long weekend?

Well thank you! 
I attribute this to all of the wonderful microbes in my soil.I'd say they look amazing considering the neglect.
My observations and experiences agree with you, completely.
I'm hoping this is true.
No, not at all. Perky in the morning (8am), droopy from about 10am and on throughout the day, and slowly perking back up as both the temps and sun go down, after 6pm... no matter what I've tried. Funny thing: it's been well into triple digits earlier in the season (July & early Aug) all with good responses to MSA. Just not anymore, even with lower temps... puzzling.
I appreciate your input...

That's the thing... I poke my finger into her soil and the root ball is dense all the way around. Perhaps even more so than any of the others in my garden. There is nothing in the surrounding area that can hinder her root system, just open ground.

With no wheels, it's difficult to go anywhere right now... and I've basically worn out any favors from my neighbors/friends just getting groceries and other essentials. So, it's just me and my dog for the holiday weekend.

I'm guessing it just doesn't like the heat of the day, which means that's one less thing for you to worry about!

Hmm... OK. So, what do you think the odds are of her going "nanners" or "hermie" because of this stress?I Love My Girls...

No. Not at all. As I inspect the ground beneath her now, I find that her roots have filled the potting soil (in the ground) really well. More so than the others.Was she rootbound in her old pot?

Here's some pics during the heat of the day:
I will post more pics as the evening comes.
Note: high temp today was actually 100ºf, despite what the footnotes say in the pics.

Do they perk right up when you water.

Yes. If I water mid-morning (ish) she'll "perk right up". But!!! The soil is more than plenty moist, not soggy, and the very next day she's back to her drooping, even with more than enough moisture in soil. (I wiggle my finger into soil to feel for moisture.) All others go for days withOUT any water and are doing quite well. Puzzling. To me at least...Do they perk right up when you water.

Is she still in a pot in the ground, or is that just lawn edging around her? It looks like her roots are overheating. Maybe try a white sheet around her legs and see if you can keep the sun off her feet?
I see her feet in the shade in the pictures, do they stay in the shade all day long?

No. I never do that... LOL
Yes, that's exactly what that is. Good eye!
Good call ! Perhaps it's a continuation of what I posted here.
Thank you for your input here. This has triggered my memory. I'm going to expand the circumference of that lawn edging and cover the ground with more of the mulch. It helped before, maybe it just needs to be larger. Hopefully, this will cool her down. It sure seems odd that a cultivar from such a hot region would need such TLC from the heat. Oh well...
No, not at all... And your Q's helped me to realize this!

Update on Wild Lady:
After some Q's from @Gee64 , I decided to greatly expand the mulched area underneath my Wild Lady from about 23 inches to 53 inches in diameter. After feeding her with the @GeoFlora Nutrients "Bloom" and deep watering the area, she's much happier. Take a look see:
As U can see, she's much happier. When my local Hydro Store opens on Wed, I'll be getting another bale of coco coir mulch and fill the area with a much deeper layer... then we'll see if this works out - long term.
