Help...Plant wilted.

[JarMan]

I came home today and my one plant is very droopy and wilted. The other is looking a little weak as well. They have been growing great so far. Let me know what you guys think. Here is the worst of it.

needs water

I should be feeding her today. Should I feed her or just give her distilled water?

Distilled, tap, pond water anything! That plant there is thirsty!
Mild fertilizer cant hurt either.
What's your nute program?

I am watering every other water with Fox Farm BB & TB. I just gave them their first dose of the flowering blend. I have been in 12/12 for 5 days now.

Go ahead and feed as you normally would. Your plants are probably starting to enter an aggressive growth pattern producing budding sites so they will feed heavier and more often than what you have been used to.
A good way to check if your plant is dry is by the weight of the pot. Try to familiarize yourself with what a watered pot and dry pot feel like and your watering routine will be dialed in a bit better.

I knew I needed to water them today, I just didn't realize it was that bad. They are using a lot more water than I am used to. They are already starting to perk back up! Thanks for the help.

Before you learn the hard way, do not nute an excessively dry plant.

It will suck up the nutes too fast and get burnt. I learned the hard way years ago.

I usually water a day or 2 before nuteing, just so the medium and roots are at least moist.
