As the title states. I started to notice a wilting problem after watering my plant, I thought that maybe I was watering to often so I changed my watering schedule from every 2 days to ever 4 days, I noticed that the plant would still wilt after 4 days, So I tried 5 days of no water, at his point I could tell that my plant was in need of water bad, after watering the plant still wilted. I was doing some research as to what could cause this, I seen that maybe I was giving it to much water at one time, so I waited 4 days to water my plant, on the 4th day of no water, which it today, I watered my plant with 450ml of water ( I usually give 850-900ml of water) and its still wilted after this watering.. Do I dont think over watering is my issue even though that's exactly what it looks like. What other issues could I have that would cause this same problem? My plant has no discoloration whatsoever, it looks completely healthy. My plant is 50 days old and its in its 2nd week of flowering, No Ph, ec, humidity, temp issues.

What is your medium? Pot size? Water ph? In/out? Temperature and RH?

Is the whole leaf drooping or is it most prominent towards leaf tips?

Does leaf wilt recover post-watering? If so, what is your recovery duration?

Post pictures.
 
Best to fill out the AFN Infirmary Patient form.
 
FFoF soil, 3 gallon fabric pot, PH in 6.4, PH out 6.2, Temp is 77f with a RH of 50%.
The entire leaf droops. Yes wilting recovers after about 3-4 hours.
 
By 'starting to notice' I assume that the symptom is just starting to manifest and hasn't been characteristic all along? In this case, it's an odd response to not be accompanied by a visual representation of an underlying deficiency.

If the plant appears in perfect health and is recovering from wilt at such a quick rate, I wouldn't worry. It appears inconsequential.

Do you water straight from the tap? If so, any idea on inbound water temperature? Wilt could very well just be a shock response to cooler wafer.
 
I was kinda wondering about water temp...I always have 10 gallons sitting @ room temp. When I've used water kept outside (RO) I get some drooping. Only difference is the outside water is a good 10 degrees cooler.

Yes @TheArchitect I just started to notice this about 2-3 weeks ago. Ive been using RO water that I let sit in my grow room for a couple days before watering to get temps to normal. At first I thought I was using water that was to cold, but that doesn't seem to be the problem since my water temp is around 74f.

I don't think there's any relevant correlation between your water temperature and wilting. However, your water temperature is on the high side. Cooler the better (to a limit). Have a look at this article for greater context.

What is your light source? If LED, do you have IR integrated into your fixture or are you supplementing IR? If not, you'll want to either supplement or get your temperature closer to 85 - leaf surface temperature...

Thanks @TheArchitect ill give that a read. Im using a 600w LED with IR
