Droopy Leaves

T

I'm having trouble with my transplaned indoor habaneros. They seem to be very droopy during the day, but seem perky in the morning; any thoughts?
The transplanted peppers are neither wet or dry, but have been fertilized more than the others.
They all get 16 hours of light per day.
The peppers still in the party cups are looking fine.

Will they snap out of this?




Party cups look great.


The entire crew of peppers.

I wanna learn towards it's a little shocked. If it's, then it should snap out of it soon. It also could be the fertilizer.


Edit: I really love the big leaves on habaneros. One of my habaneros makes me feel great about my indoor growing, lol.
 
Did you recently transplant them? They could have transplant shock if you did. But for the most part the leaves will be a little droopy during the day and at night when the temp drops the plants lift their leaves, so that's normal. If they are extremely droopy then they prob have shock.
 
I agree, if they are perking up during the night, then they will
eventually adapt. Don't plants wilt to conserve water, generally?
Do they wilt before or after the lights come on?
 
I dunno here you may have the fatal disease "droopius leavius" (i think that's the Latin name for it?)

I wouldn't worry about it judging by the pics, my leaves are dragging on the ground during the day but look like there on Viagra at night. :party:

Footnote: Mezo does not feed his plants with Viagra. :D

They start wilting after the lights are on. I turn them on before I head out for work.

They were transplanted about 2 weeks ago. Is that enough time to adapt?

I wonder if it is too hot for them under the lights? Maybe lower the heat a little?
Or put in a little computer fan to keep it cooled down a little if they are, in fact, too warm.
