This pic is taken in evening
In evening leaves fall down and looks sick
While in the morning all the leaves get to much active
And they look perfect in morning and afternoon
But in evening leaves looks like they are sick

Depending on the strain I think - but having the droopy leaves in the afternoon is quite normal.

Overall your plants look real good - they are trying hard to grow. Everytime you post your pots look real dry - does your medium absorb real fast? How often do you water?

[nextpablo420]

Yes my medium absorb water and hold it
I water like once in 2,3 days
If i water little then i water next day
I see soil under 2 inch
It it is moist then i don't water
If it is dry and hard then i water

[Canuck147]

Do you water until it runs from the bottom?

[nextpablo420]

No
My water doesn't run from the bottom

To be honest I’m familiar with India.. most natural soils in India are high in clay.. and to me this looks like soil from outside your house which probably is high in clay.. which doesn’t hold water well and compacts easy.. your issue is probably moister content can’t really do much now but maybe must your plants in the morning with water

[Daskahn]

If you can find an old rotting fallen tree then you could scrape off the soft crumbly bark and that stuff is great for mending soil

My soil is high in clay
It gets hard while dry

nextpablo420 that's what the sand & organic material is for... to break up that hard clumping mud & provide nutrients.

that soil will cause numerous headaches. as Daskahn said it looks to be mostly clay.

you should have a 1:1 ratio atleast specially with that dirt. If you can’t get anything besides that soil. Make sure you add for example fill one pot with pucmice/lava rock 1/4 inch size preferably and one pot dirt to keep the soil well aerated and hopefully from getting to compact. Try putting some type of mulch (cover) on top of the dirt so it doesn’t dry up too quick. Some earth worms would help. And if you can add some type of cover crop that will help with keeping the soil from getting to compact with all those tiny roots in there. Look up living mulch or cover crop for living soil.

Moss would work great in your situation.. it’s a low cover plant won’t take up light from your plant
