Alright, I know I've got some sort of deficiency, not sure what. Can anyone give me some help? Some leaves are curling down, others are scooping up. I've been giving them tap water since I've had them(2 weeks-ish), finally went and got water from a machine last night to avoid the calcium salt buildup, I've been especially light on the nutrients because my last grow was shitty from me over-fertilizing,
What's up with my plants?

I am a firm believer in if it aint broke dont fix it. First thing I saw was you have them in tiny little solo cups, get the into some 1-3 gallon pots. The soil looks like mud how much are you watering?
Yeah, definitely in too small of a container. Going to get soil this week, already have the 5 gallon pots.
As for the "Mud", I had watered shortly before andI water when they start to droop. And please excuse me, but what did I try to fix? If you're talking about the tap water thing, my water is hard (210 on the ppm meter) so I do need to buy filtered water from a machine.

an ro water filter is a good investment.
I've been looking to invest in one for a while now, just been low on cash.

210 ppm tap is perfectly fine for soil. But definitely get them into a bigger container with fresh soil. The roots like to breathe.
I also think that they look undernourished. No need to go overboard, but definitely give them a shot of nutes. A repotting into good soil (like FF Ocean Forest) is two birds with one, uuhh, dude wait what? cn

listen to canna. ive found in just this grow alone and with the help of rollitup that its all about those roots. bigger pots! and i second FFoF it is very rich and I'm getting closer to flower everyday. 2 transplants in -1 more to go and each one brings new nutes. I've been burned by the ladies and I don't wanna be burned again

i can yield a 1/2z of finished product on a 9 week flower cycle from clone or seed, per solo cup..... but its a method i perfected over many trials and errors. how many solo cups can you fit, in say, a 4x4 footprint? ALOT, if you tier them
lesson? dont knock it till you try it

Only problem I have with that is the less plants flowering in your grow the better off you'll be if the cops come a knocking. I'm a medical grower and can only have 6 plants in flowering for my hubbyi can yield a 1/2z of finished product on a 9 week flower cycle from clone or seed, per solo cup..... but its a method i perfected over many trials and errors. how many solo cups can you fit, in say, a 4x4 footprint? ALOT, if you tier them
lesson? dont knock it till you try it
and 6 for every patient I have (1). I'm a real stickler about keeping my plant numbers down.

Yeah I meant the water. 210ppm for tap water is not too bad at all. My tap water is over 500ppm. If you are watering so much that is is making mud then you are over watering. Droopy plants after a watering is a sign of too much water.
If using RO water you need to add in ca mag or do as I do add a little bit of tap water to the RO water. I add like 10% tap water to put back in some of the elements the RO filter removes.

Do you actually know what you are talking about?? Droopy plants after watering means you are watering too OFTEN.....I run 15 gallons of water through my 5 gallon pots once a week with no drooping.
