Reaching is good,it's not the same as stretching-some call it "praying"-it means the plant is very happy

oh i thought praying was light stress, makes sense that is working good
best is to make sure the viparspectra is close enough to the plant though you want alot of avalibel par

Hey I have a question have any of you tryed wide pots and if you have did you run into any problems like getting root bound quickly. I seem to be having a reoccurring issue with droopy leafs. It may be due to a larger pot that I’m over watering. I have noticed that after a repot in wide pots I get explosive growth then it stop and I get the droop. Please any pro tips would help. My latest issue is she was dropping her leafs I watered she perked up then 24h later she’s lowered her leafs again.

What I have done so far to fix is gently poked holes in the soil to promote extra oxygen to roots and turn lam up to help dry soil

Sorry typo *turn up lamps to help soil dry but I’m not sure if extra light is a good idea

Turning up the lights will help the plant become more active and therefore draw more water up into the roots. Light will not cause an appreciable amount of water to "dry" out... it doesn't work that way in a closed container. Be patient and trust in the plant to pull all of the water out of the soil and in that process pull oxygen down deep into the soil from the top. Poking holes just damages roots... it is not your job to force oxygen down there, it is the plant's. Trust that establishing a wet/dry cycle solves all of these problems. It is not as hard as you are making it.

I’m sorry Emilya, I’m letting you down even after all the great advice. I hear everything you are saying and honestly I should have asked you all first before I decided to make a move. My pride got the best of me. It just feels good to show you progress and sucks to show you short comings.

I don't see shortcomings... I see a fellow gardener learning the ropes, just as I did. Keep learning... someday soon you will be the one giving the advice.

You were right. 2 hours later with more light slowly perking up.

[astronaut]

I’m 17 in from the canopy right now you think lower will help?

actually no not closer than that, for some reason i thought you were higher up. 17” might actually be too close....
