Droopy Leaves?

Hey there have some droopy leaves, plants are 3 weeks old I tested PH today tested 7.2.

I water every 2-3 days (Bottled Water @ ph7) 10 Gallon Pot

This started about 4 days ago, the bigger plant wasnt so bad, the smaller one was a little worse I watered both of fear of underwater and the big one seemed to be looking better, however the worse one in pic 2, hasn't changed much at all, the top leaves are still very droopy the bottom leaves got a little better but not much at all. I gave both of them nutes via Foliar (20-20-20) 1/4 recommended dose After this problem, still no success. 1 day after

I grow out on my balcony temp range from 75-100 and humidty from 50-80%, but the temps outside haven't changed at all in the past 3 weeks. PLants receive about 4 hours of direct sunlight through a 12 hour sunlight day, and I bring them in at night for an extra 5 hours of 3 x 20W CFL, I bought a 65W CFL 6500 K today and put them in same time, with no results in rising the leaves.

Im lost at what this could be. any help is appreciated

What kind of soil? what kind of nutes? looks like your soil is pretty compact, you should add some perlite/vermiculite for better drainage/aeration see if that helps (for future reference, I wouldnt want to risk shpcking these guys but it looks like your running out of options) i would also spend the $200 and get a proper indoor lighting system. (my suggestion:http://www.growlightexpress.com/grow-light-ballasts-3/400-watt-ballasts-12/lumatek-400-watt-ballast-120-240v-31.html) and some decent ventilation you wont be sorry. 75-100 is way out of range. you want 75-80 max. You also want the lights off temp 3-5 degrees colder and no more. Large variances in day/night temp make for taller plants/longer internodes and even hermies. Constant predictable temps/lighting patterns are 2 of the most crutial elements to your environment. I think all of the above are causing you problems.

something to remember: if your going to grow in 75-100F temps you need a strain that comes from a part of the world with an environment similar to what your gonna throw at it. Some strains could handle it but many could not. A good NL, afghani, or skunk strain would probably serve you better

Seeds are from Colombia, and those lighting options are not an option for me and my location. And I live next to a rain forest, so I beleive the greenhouse gases given off of the rainforest, should compliment the heat, and humidty on the plant. But if you think it might be heat stress.. then I guess its survival of the fittest for the plants.

As for the soil its Organic Name doesn't matter, its a local brand that I only have access to. Nutes again are also local brand, what I can only get a hold of... the soil is not very compact at all.

How do I know everything? because I live in a remote part of the world where all I can buy is local brand stuff... and because I tell you my soil is not compact, because the background of my pictures are blurred, since its in macro mode.... I dont think I need your help since your a dick. so thanks

or maybe you were refering to growing next to a rain forest.. which I presume you have no idea about.. probably since you have probably never lived next or even near one... I dont presume to know everything, I know what I read, and I read that Rainforest's produce a lot of Greenhouse gases, required for growing in humid and hot temperatures..

And the light schedule I hear of many other people doing that exact same thing here.

pH too high, easy fix. At 7.2 your plant cant absorb the proper nutrients, your basically starving them to death. It'll improve over the course of a few days once you lower pH.
