why are they dropping like that ? shouldn't they be sticking out straight or even better curled towards the light?



 
over watering will cause drooping leaves. watering with a high ph water will also do that. temp extremes also are to blame for droppy leaves, they look ok right now, let them dry up before the next watering with 6.5 water. temps are steady?
 
400 watt HPS about 1.5 feet away temps stay at 73 degrees humidity about 30%

I water once every 7 days in these 5 gallon buckets she doesn't seem to drink much water yet and she had 1/2 strength 2part flouro nutes the watering before the last one which was straight 6.0 phEd bottled water

18/6 light schedule fans move air in and out of the closet very very well
 
ok cool I gave her just phed water this last time and I haven't seen any burns yet just kinda slow growth I guess she is about 12 days from sprouting
 
maybe a touch of too many nutes at such a young age? i will always feed with 1/4 strength for the first few times..... i would just let it be some plants will just grow like that when everything is fine...
 
And make sure your not saturating that huge container...its only little and you want your root zone to spread out. More roots more fruits lol.over watering haults that. Try adding more perlite to your soil next time. That's never a bad idea.
 
now the leaves are starting to act funky



put lights to about 30 inches above the plants


leaves are still droopy :/

 
dude, personally i pour at least a small amount of water on my plants every day. then i soak the whole pot every 3-4 days. that pot looks like there's a good inch of completely dry medium. roots need more moisture than once every 7 days. franco & arjan at Greenhouse Seeds say they water their plants every two days, and even allow them to completely dry out for a week or so during the middle of flowering.

that plant doesn't look that bad at all.

good luck

and thanks for the replies guys when I water I water about a liter or so into it and it stays wet for forever it makes me think she's growing roots slowly :( I just dread over watering I think I may begin to spray fan leaves every so often
