How close are your cfls to the plant right now?? Ive had a similar problem that everyone claimed was overwatering. Once i went back to the books i realized cfls aren't to be but 2 inches next to seedlings like some would say... I raised my lights to about 5-7 inches bringing them closer if i see stretching. HOPE THIS HELPS. I was going through what seems like you are. Droopy leaves in bone dry soil and neither over or under watering was the problem. It was light intensity.. take it easy on the nutes too maybe, but i'm not a hydro grower

ill try that an see if that helps.. also i was woundering if perhaps it could be a potassium issue becouse the stems to the leaves are turning red an the leaves dark green..

I don't think so but ..raise the light ...in about 10 -18 hours if you don't see a difference maybe look further

check out my sig and see the difference between the latest pics and the pics before them ..the difference is unbelievable .. they actually stretched a bit to my liking though
