16 days flowering, need help

I'm 16 days into flowering and my leaves are starting to form claw/taco shapes. The worst part is the main cola where the new leaves form. They are all twisted. Nearly all the other leaves have tips that point down or form a claw shape too. The leaves are all dark green and otherwise appear healthy for the most part.

I try to always water when the soil is very dry 2-3inches deep. The last watering I gave it I noticed the leaves almost instantly became very droopy but eventually perked back up. Does this mean anything?

Here's my grow specs:

-Strain: Big Bud x Northern Lights #5

-Measurements: 20inches tall, 18inches wide

-Medium: Miracle Grow and SeaBorn Plant food
5-10-10. I've only given it the plant food twice so far when it started flowering.

-383 watts of CFL (252 watts 2700k, 131 watts 6500k)

Figured that might be the problem.. damn MG. So what would you suggest or am I screwed?

The leaves themselves appear healthy, no signs of nute burn.

I just noticed that now my leaves are drooping really bad now, especially on the lower part of the plant. So bad in fact that the lower leaves are resting on the pot. I've got it in a two gallon pot and I'm starting to think it may be root bound. What do you all think?

Thankfully it looks like I've figured it out. Apparently it was due to nute burn and under-watering. I stopped with the added nutes and gave it a really good watering and new growth appears to be coming out perfectly healthy. The buds also continue to swell. :D

I've always been really paranoid about over/under watering but I think I'm finally starting to reach the sweet spot between the two.
