Droopy leaves and spots

Hey guys, i'm growing some deimos autoflower from buddha seeds. It was going all good until a few days back.

I have 3 plants, they are all 1 month old. 2 of them growing in the exact same soil, in a 13l fabric pot, with the same watering schedules. The other one is growing in a 8l pot with another kind of soil. I haven't added any nutes so far, because i bought a good organic soil that has food on it for like 40 days (thats what the manufacter said)
Anyway, i've been watering them with 800ml(now that they are 1 month old, back then i was using less water, around 300-400ml per plant) of water for each plant. Im using well water, the water ph is around 6.8 and 80 ppm. The only different thing that i've done was spraying 2ml/L of biobizz alg-a-mic. That's all ive done to my plants so far.

The thing is, one of the plants that is growing in the "good" soil started to show some strange signs. First, the leaves drooped, then i checked the weight of the pot to see if it was a overwatering problem, the pot was very light. So i decided to water the plant again, but she is still drooping. Yesterday i checked the entirely plant and found some dots on the leaves (pictures below). Also, the new growth is twisted and bottom leaves are yellowing.

Forgot to mention that i'm using a 1000w quantum board led in a 20/4 light schedule, but that doesnt seems like heat stress, because its affecting most the lower leaves and my temps are okay (25c day and 20c night.)

Can anyone please help me to solve this? The other two plants are completely fine.
There are the pictures of the girls

Overall they look pretty good well done. I’d make sure the light is legit with actual wattage and hanging distance. I’d use a bio fungicide or neem oil just in case the spots are fungus or bacteria related. Then I’d let the soil dry out a bit and then watering with quarter strength vegetative fertilizer or top dressing with a all purpose organic fertilizer and watering it in with just water. It’s probably safe to say that soil is beginning to run low on NPK. I think the droopiness is a little too much water and yellowing and spots are beginning deficiencies which could be ph related. Take everything I say with a pinch of salt I’m only going off of the pictures, given info and three decent runs under my belt and I’m blazed. Good luck

Cool, thanks for the answer!
I'm not sure about the lights being legit or not, but i can tell it is extremely bright.
Can i use sensi grow a+b on it? Or it will kill all the benefical micro life on the soil?I also have Big Bud, but im afraid to use it and ruin the soil.
I also have biobizz grow and flower ferts, but it have been almost 3 years that i bought it, im not sure if i should use it.
You said it could be too much water, but i always wait until the soil dries out to water, and usually i lift my pots before watering, if they are light i water it.

You know I’m not exactly sure if it will kill the microbes. I’m pretty sure it won’t kill all of them especially if you use it at quarter the recommended strength. I couldn’t tell you for sure if it was too much water or not that’s just my gut feeling looking at the pic and you saying it got droopy after you watered so you watered more. Sometimes they get droopy right after watering or before the lights turn off. I think they look good though they’re really not that droopy as if there was something seriously wrong. Just start with a quarter strength of a veg fertilizer Of your choice next watering to be safe. Just my opinion I’m not the most experienced guy on here. Good luck brother

Hey guys,
The other plant is also drooping now.But only the top leaves, so i raised the led a little bit, though i don't believe thats the problem.
I Also spotted some yellowing at the bottom of the plants, wich may look like a nitrogen deficiency, but a few leaves are with some yellowing tips, like It was nute burnt. Please help me identify if they are burning or its some kind of deficiency!

IMG_20200728_014829.jpgu can see the leaves are starting to lose their colours, and some yellow leaves
